A few weeks ago, I shared this:
Some of my favorite gift ideas for those pursuing a debt free lifestyle. As promised, I begin rolling out give aways this week, a little Christmas present from me to you!
Today, I’m so excited to host a simple and practical Give Away, sponsored by no one but yours truly. 🙂 I’m giving away a $50 Amazon Gift Card for you and yours to use to celebrate this Christmas season or perhaps into the new year. I LOVE a good Amazon gift card. From the practical to the unusual splurge, seeing that little Amazon face sets my heart a flutter.
More this year than before I’ve used Amazon Subscribe & Save to purchase our household items. If I do it right, sometimes I can score a better deal online than I can in stores and with coupons. Typically I begin by scanning Amazon’s coupons (did you know that Amazon has coupons?!) for items that we routinely purchase. After clipping the coupons, I begin to scan which items are also Subscribe & Save items. Typically many of the most popular coupons are ones that can be paired with Subscribe & Save deals, because the deal bloggers have picked up the scent of the trail. Once I match a coupon to a Subscribe & Save deal, I click to subscribe. This will save you 5% off of the list price. I aim for five Subscribe & Save items because that will drop the price of each item by 15%. The discount will be reflected on all five after you meet the minimum. Each item beyond five will also be a 15% savings on list price. The items will ship once a month on an assigned date. After they ship, you want to be sure to cancel the subscription. Subscribe & Save prices are not locked in at the same rate each month, so you don’t want it to inadvertently ship at a much higher rate.
It’s a perfect opportunity to give the gift of better managed money this year. Enter using the Rafflecopter below. The Give Away closes 12/23/13 at 12 AM EST. You’ll have 24 hours to respond after winning so be sure to be watching your inbox and even check your SPAM. I cannot guarantee that the gift card will arrive in time for Christmas so don’t count on it for a specific gift. 🙂
