While going through things I found a $25 Itunes giftcard. Looks like I know what I'm giving my niece for Christmas 2012!

I ordered 4 more AGCs from Swagbucks, bringing challenge total up to $180!

Two websites that I'm using to help me with my challenge is Ebates and ShoppingAtHome. Both pay you cashback for doing shopping at stores online that you normally use anyway. I normally check both before deciding which one to go with. For example as of now Ebates is paying 12% for drugstore.com orders while ShopatHome pays 10%.

Might as well get free money for shopping online anyway. You can check out both on my side bar.

Got a $25 Target GC for doing a VA(veteran affairs) survey. New total is $160!

Snagged a $25 giftcard from swagbucks. New total $135

Received my $20 check from serve.com. New total $110!!

Got another $10 target giftcard bringing total to $70.

I bought a Nintendo DS today at Target and received a $50 gift card. I also used a Target coupon and got a $10 gift for spending $50 on that same purchase. I will save those 2 gift cards to use towards 2012 Christmas Challenge.

It's never too early to start!

I belong to Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover site and a few of us have joined this challenge for next year. Basically, we are going to try and get/earn free gifts and money by other various creative ways. We are all trying to see how this challenge will dramatically reduce our Christmas expenses next year.

I'm going to achieve mine by doing the below:
Swagbucks
PerkStreet rewards
Inbox dollars
DailyFeats
Ebates
Shoppingathome

I already have 4 $5 AGC from Swagbucks!

Feel free to join in!
