As I mentioned yesterday, for the next 30 days, I am going to be offering the Cha-Ching! Christmas Club Turbo Edition.

The goal?  To share tips on how to bring in some extra dollars in time for your holiday spending.

Each day I will share a similar post with a list of ways that you can put your time to work bringing in rewards and finding creative ways to stretch your dollars.

It is up to you how much time you would like to dedicate to this venture.  I’ve listed activities based on the amount of time that each will take.  You can pick and choose which fit into your timeframe right now.  Just do whatever works for you!

Will you get rich on these offers? Unfortunately, no.  But it will start you on a journey of finding creative ways to bring in extra income.

I recommend finding a time of day to set aside to work on these offers.  I will post them each evening, but work on them on your own time!

    I did the CoverGirl deal and was able to get a bunch of free Taylor Swift stuff with the codes. My stockings will be stuffed by the time the holidays roll around! I also am a huge fan of mypoints. I have been using them for about 11 years now and have gotten so many gift cards to Target.
