Keep at it, no matter how little your savings seem because at the end of the year it adds up to a huge amount! This time of the year is the slowest time for earning from Swagbucks and apps like CO51 and Ibotta. Don’t give up, if you keep at it, I promise it will pickup.
Swagbucks has been a lot harder to earn with, but I have been able to still manage $50.00 a week. I am waiting on my second gift card from last week to arrive. I have been doing lots of surveys, nCrave, and SBTV. Its more time consuming than offers, but I only spend 1 hour working on it- that is all I have to devote to it daily.
I didn’t have a Sam’s Club membership and when I saw the great membership deal Kristin posted, I knew I had to go get a membership. I used $25.00 from my fund and $25.00 from my grocery budget to cover the cost of the membership. The bulk of my Disney fund is sitting in the bank. I have been holding it, trying to figure out the best way to stretch my money. I am going to pay for my Disney gift cards with my a credit card that gives 2% cashback, then pay cash on the credit card after I charge the gift cards. Then enter the gift cards into my DVA (Disney Vacation Fund). By doing it this way I should save 5% from Sam’s, 2% from my credit card and 2% from my DVA.
