Chances are that you’ve heard a giveaway of some sort advertised lately. Radio stations are always giving something away. So are companies. And bloggers.
But how often do you act on those giveaways? Do you ever make an attempt to enter, or do you automatically assume you won’t win and you don’t even try?
Today in the 7 Ways to Pile Up Christmas Money, let’s talk about earning money by taking odd jobs. We are talking about jobs that are typically a one-time only deal or fairly infrequent.
Getting a part time job to cover presents is also a great idea, but not always a reality for many of us with a tight schedule or young children to care for. (Or both.)
This week is a super busy one for my family as we participate in our local county fair. But when I heard that Kimberlee Stokes from The Peaceful Mom was accepting guest posts, I had to do it! I’ve been a big fan of her blog for years.

What areas are you interested in saving money in right now?
Most of us have things we need to get rid of or no longer use. You have a few options: keep, give away, discard or sell.
I want to talk about selling your stuff, particularly selling your unwanted items to a reseller. Secondhand shops and consignment stores can be a good way of unloading your extras for cash or turning them in for trade for things you do want.
Selling items yourself has one big advantage over selling to a reseller: You cut out the middleman. Secondhand shops and consignment stores need to make a profit to stay in operation, so you won’t get the full amount that the end customer is going to pay. You’ll usually get a substantially lower price. So why sell to a reseller?
If you struggle each year to find gift money, don’t wait for Christmas to sneak up on you again. Try these 7 ways to fill your Christmas savings account.
Christmas money? Now? Why should I worry about Christmas money in the middle of summer or early fall? I have bigger fish to fry.
Well, you should worry about it. Because it’s coming, friends.
Many of us treat Christmas purchases like unexpected expenses. December comes along, and we find ourselves putting gifts on a credit card. After all, we want to get gifts for loved ones and we can’t find another way to do it. We’ll just pay the bills later.
It’s a habit that never ends well. Honestly, I’ve even done it myself a time or two. (That’s just another reason why we had to learn how to get out of debt.)
