*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

Janebo12

Hi everybody, hope all is well.

I just made the EBay challenge of £50 after fees and postage.

I don't have any old mobile phones, but have some empty ink cartridges - does anybody know sites which pay for these?

This month, I also aim to not spend money on unnecessary items and will put the money in my box instead.

I am finally getting the hang of checking through Quidco before going through to shopping sites etc and have made around £14 in January by doing this - I have also saved money by using voucher codes on top of this to get discounts or free postage etc.

I checked my spreadsheet today and have so far spent £136.45 on presents for Christmas and Birthdays etc (total spend should have been £576.90, so I have made a saving so far of £440.45! Brilliant!)

£77.71 has been made through Ebay sales, Quidco and surveys, so I have only spent £58.74 (will try to even this out through more earnings throughout the year).

I really couldn't have done this without all of your help and support, so thank you everybody - let's make this a great moneysaving year for all :T

Getting closer on Toluna but still need 8.000 points to claim a love2shop voucher. The surveys seem to have dried up now I'm so close.

Just wondering where everyone does their free bingo?

I had a blitz on Toluna this week and now I only need 5000 to get the voucher. I think I have answered every quick poll on there so I may have to resort to writing opinions to get the points! I managed to get 2 surveys this week that I didn't get screened out of, so that helped up my total a bit

I'd like to know about the free bingo too

I made 20,605 on the Dooyoo challenge, got a bit bored towards the end but I'm making a list of things I need to review so will slowly add them hopefully.

Not sure what I can cut down on for the February challenge - maybe buy no clothes etc

I do Butlins Bingo, when you sign up you have to deposit £10, but they have a free scratchcard that has a minimum guaranteed 10p win and once you have that first 10p win, you can take back your initial £10. To be able to play the free daily scrachcard, you need to have some money in the account, so by leaving in the 10p you win, you get to keep playing. I was curious to work out how much it works out as, and I figured you can make the equivalent of £6/hour and get £30 free cash in a year minimum. Of course, sometimes you win more than the 10p, which is great. My boyfriend also does Butlins Bingo and over the last two weeks has won £3.70 for essentially no expenditure.

Good luck to everyone with the February challenge!!!

I am going to give the Doo Yoo option a go as I wasn't able to do this last month. I have just written my first review and think I could get into this. I have found the site really usefull over the last couple of months and was tempted to have a go.

I am a member of bingo port but I think I may give butlins bingo a go too, thanks for the idea!
