If you have all of the money you need, and really are not interested in saving any - do not read this. If you have not stored away items you are not using and no longer want - do not read this. |
Prescription Filling 
For those prescriptions you need, but hate spending so much for try logging onto Rxaminer. This site not only tells you what medication will substitute for the one you were prescribed, but advises you of the cheapest prices, their locations near you, and what your medication is actually doing for you.Online Garage Sale
If you plan on cleaning out your children’s toys before Christmas, in order to make room for the new ones, why not make some money on them? Go to
Amazon
and look for similar items, then when you find something closely related click on “Sell yours here” and in a week or two you will be counting your cash.
Toy Exchange
Want to check out a site where you can sell or swap items? Then log onto Toy Swap. Here you can swap out that item you probably will never use anyway, and make some child happy this Christmas with a toy.Refresh Your Wardrobe
Another site for swapping would be Swap Style, where you can swap clothing and accessories with someone else.Someone Else's Treasure
Perhaps you are not interested in getting anything, but getting rid of something. Post it on Free Cycle. There is a community board where other Freecyclers post their items or needs. Personally, I have used this site many times, and highly recommend it. It is just as their title states free. Their aim is help keep useful items out of landfills, and fulfill people’s needs at the same time. Log in and look for a neighborhood near you.
Old to New
Earn points towards any number of electronic items at Circuit City and other electronic stores. Simply log onto Rep Mobile, select your old, no longer wanted cell phone, and find out how many points it is worth. Swap a Plan
What if you want another cell phone or another cell phone provider, but your contract is still in effect? Avoid the termination fee by logging onto Cell Swapper where someone else will willingly take over your contract.Pennies to the Dollar
Have you been saving your coins and want to turn them in without having to pay the typical 9% commission to use the Coinstar machine? Coinstar has joined with Amazon and Pier 1 to waive these fees when your cash is converted into a gift card for participating vendors. For more information log onto Coinstar.Fly in the Air and Online
Wouldn’t it be nice if you got something extra out of all the time you spent shopping online, (other than the great deals you procured)? Some major retailers are offering frequent-flier miles for your online purchases. Find out which ones at
Web Flyer.Humanitarian from Home
How about a site that allows you to support important causes, just by clicking? You do not need to spend a cent. Check out the sites listed at The Non-Profits, and the advertisers will make a gift. For more information on donations you can make with a click check out Icy Cucky’s article,
Don't Waste Your Clicks - Donate Them, printed in Socyberty.
