Best Christmas Ever (without spending a dime!)

Bumping this post up for some of our new readers since I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately regarding earning money from home.

Something that my family has always battled with has been trying to afford Christmas presents. It always seems that the holiday season arrives in the midst of chaos, leaving us scrounging around the sofa cushions trying to find money to buy presents for the kids. This year, I have determined that we will not spend one cent buying Christmas presents, but that we will still have an awesome Christmas.

Already, I have over $100 in our Christmas fund from just Opinion Outpost. Opinion Outpost pays CASH for surveys that you complete. You can also refer your friends and get $2 for every friend that you refer! The money adds up quickly and painlessly!

I also am able to earn giftcards and cash from these other survey sites. My recommendation is to join all of them because when you are a member of all, you’re Christmas fund will grow a whole lot faster! Some of them, you’ll even be invited to do product studies. We’ve given our feedback and made money reviewing toothpaste, dog treats, baby wipes, fruit snacks, and more!

I am also huge on Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a fantastic program. You earn swagbucks from searches that you do using Swagbucks as a search engine. I’ve earned countless Amazon giftcards, Disney Store giftcards, Starbucks Giftcards, and more, with little effort! Then, I wait until Disney Store or Amazon have something fantastic on sale. You can earn more swagbucks, too, by referring your friends. When you refer someone, each swagbuck that they earn, you also earn, so your points will accumulate very fast!

When you save all year on your survey sites, buy giftcards with your swagbucks, and wait for great sales, you’ll find yourself being able to afford a lot more than you thought was possible. There’s still several months, so start today and see if you can afford a great Christmas without paying anything! I can’t wait for this Christmas! I think it will be the best one yet!

    I have also been browsing Craigslist and hitting consignment sales. I have found brand new and almost new toys for next to nothing there!

      Hi Erika – Yes, you can use more than one on a purchase – you can use as many as you want/need to 🙂

    I have joined several of the survey sites in the last month or so but have been getting swampedwith survey emails. Do you do all the surveys or one a day or what? So far, I have really liked Surveyhead the most because I have reached the cashout limit there faster than any other.

      I usually try to do the surveys during lunch time or kids naptime. I do as many as I can since some close fast, plus the more you do, the more money you have 🙂
