FREE money - yes you read that right!

Sorry I've been away for a bit folks but motherly duties called. I had to do the appointment thing for 2 kids plus myself and also fight off a virus while keeping everyone else healthy!
We are all on the mend now and appointments will always be happening.  Now I'm  back to help you all save your money!
On THAT note did the Blog title catch your eye - yes you did read right I am going to teach you the art of getting FREE money! Chances are many of you are  doing it already  or at least have a good idea of how.
First off how many of us have a wallet full of store reward cards?  I know I do (I had to buy a bigger wallet just to hold all my cards)
One of the key ways of earning back FREE money is to take advantage of these cards, 2 of the big hitters I have are PC Plus and Shopper's Optimum. Make sure you take great advantage of all these cards offer and don't forget to sign up on your smart phone with the Apps so you can load those weekly offers - loading these offers are where you get the most points back.
Personally I accumulate my points all year and use my rewards toward Christmas gifts, Last Christmas I cashed out $90 worth of Shoppers optimum points and used towards my kids Christmas gifts! That's right $90 of FREE money, I got points  mostly by loading  my weekly offers and buying stuff like milk and the weekly deal of Pepsi products.  Unfortunately with Shoppers you can only use your points towards actual items in the store and not gift cards. That's why I love my PC Plus card because you can use towards groceries, mobile products, clothes and/or  gift cards.
Simply by loading my weekly offers (which BTW are based on products you usually buy) I saved enough points that equalled to $100 cash , I used my points toward gift cards for my family for Christmas. This is so awesome and it saves me from taking money from our budget because this money is FREE!
Another good reward card is Airmiles, however  I have not had as much experience with this one.
But I do know you will want to sign up for emails so you can get your offers and coupons that they send to you. Also if you sign up for reward miles your points will accumulate and you can use as cash towards groceries ect. or use towards online vouchers for stores and restaurants.
Do you go to the movies often? then you should sign up for the Cineplex Scene card. You get points on admission and concession purchases (also discounts on concession food) AND did you know you can also get scene points from stores and restaurants  (example Sport chek, swiss chalet, Harveys, Montanas ,Milestones ,Cineplex store, East side Marios and more) you can use the points towards FREE movies - HELLO!  that's a FREE  date night  in my books.
Do you read? do you buy books from Chapters? then you need a plum reward card so you can gather points on your purchases and someday get some free books.
There are SO many points/rewards cards to get some have better/higher rewards than others but all in all every points gets you closer to FREE stuff/money! So you should definitely take advantage of every point system you can.

 

 

Still on the FREE money topic, this is new to me and I am in love with it.  If you have a few quiet minutes in your day (usually around 20-30 minutes) you need to be doing survey reward sites.

Currently I have 2 favourites, Web Perspectives and Legerweb. Both of these sites reward you for completing surveys but in different ways.

Web Perspectives will send you a few surveys a day and you can choose the length and topic of survey you wish to complete. They reward you with points when you complete a survey and you can save these points towards emailed gift codes. 1200 points will get you $10 amazon Canada gift code (it only takes around 1 week to reach this target), they then send you a code to your email to be applied to your amazon account. EASY money ! There are other rewards such as admit one voucher to Cineplex,  $10 chapters gift code , 50 airmiles, $15 bonus card to the source and more.

I tend to stick to Amazon because I can get pretty much everything I would want on that site.

I have been a member since January 15 2017 and so far I have cashed out 3 times for $10 amazon gift codes (that's $30 FREE money) just for completing a few surveys in my free time.

LegerWeb will send you a cheque or paypal,  at first you get  money just for completing your profile and learning about how the site works, then they will send you a few surveys that you qualify for (most are $1 and $2) you must get to a minimum of $20 in your account before you can cash out.

I have been a member since January 12 2017 and I already have $15 in my account.

Once again easy FREE money for completing a survey everyday or so.

There are also fun reward sites like Swagbucks Canada or grabpoints it takes much longer to get enough points to cash out for amazon gift codes  - they reward you for searching the web, finding codes, doing surveys and watching videos. I do this for a few minutes everyday, even if it takes a few months to get to $5 amazon its still FREE money!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my post on how I get FREE money and I hope you take advantage of everything i listed in this post.  In this day and age where the cost of things keep rising we have to do what we can to stay on budget so why not capitalise on the FREE money out there!
