Little Things to Earn Extra Cash

Since we’ve had a little extra time during the holidays we found a few things around the house that could help us get extra cash to put into savings.

1. Fill out rebates from the holidays
Many larger purchases may be eligible for rebates. They take some time and effort but can be well worth the hassle. This year we bought a Remington from Dick’s Sporting Goods for our family Christmas present. The night that we brought it home we made sure to fill out the rebates for a $20 gift card from Dick’s and a $30 rebate from Remington.

2. Sell items on either Ebay or Craigslist
We sold many of our unnecessary household items before we moved across the country last winter. But we still have a modem that we no longer use yet we kept putting off selling it. We finally decided to post a listing on Craigslist and see if we can get $20-$30 for it.

3. Close an account we no longer use
Last year we got a toll pass for a close major city when Tim was hunting for jobs. Since we haven’t visited that city in over a year we decided to close the account and return the toll device. We should get back the $10 deposit and about $35 that we still have in our account.

These specific rebates, items to sell and returns are unique to our situation but there should be something that you could get a little bit of money for by just spending a few minutes filling our paperwork or posting a listing online. In some of these cases, a little bit of effort goes a long way.
