We're all a bit frugal

Maybe you're not a deal hunter or coupon clipper, but I think we all have those times when we wish we didn't have to buy all those Christmas presents or save up for months to get the newest shiny music-playing TV-ready hand-held touchscreen 16GB internet navigation... thing.

You're reading a squidtastic kick-start guide for those who would like to seem like they splurged a bit or just want help with the daily expenses. Don't worry - we're not talking "get rich" or "retire early" here, more like "get rewarded by your childrens' big smiles when they see what you've got behind your back."

Oh, and before you read on, if "anything" and "free" don't sound good when they're that close to each other, please put your tray table up, sit back, and relax yourself into a more frugal position.

Step 1: Find something great on Amazon 

It may be a gift for family or friends, or a treat for yourself. Maybe you've had your eye on the newest iPod or just want to get groceries delivered to your door. Whatever you're looking for, you can probably find it at Amazon.

At Points2Shop you can complete free offers, play games, and win contests to earn points toward any Amazon item of your choice. Popular purchases include Microsoft Xbox 360 Live Points, Xbox games, toys, and DVDs and it's free to you - just need to earn enough points!

Free Console Games and Accessories 

Get the latest and greatest Xbox, PS3, and Wii games and accessories for free. You can also get free Wii points, Microsoft Xbox 360 Live points, and online gaming memberships.

Free Electronics, Accessories, and Gadgets 

Earn points toward a free iPod, cell phone, computer speakers... you can earn about $100 per month so don't be afraid to set your goals a bit high!

Free Toys and Games 

Points2Shop is a great way to help Santa save money and get just what the kids want this Christmas. Many parents also treat their children to gifts earned on Points2Shop.

Free DVDs and CDs 

Find your favorite movies and TV shows on DVD and Blu-ray or find some new bands and order free CDs.

Step 1.5: Not sure what you want? 

You never know what you might find later and there's no rush to choose your prize; you can redeem your points on Amazon at any time and as many times as you want!

Or if you don't think you will find something on Amazon and would prefer to take your earnings in cash, then Cashle (the Points2Shop sister site) is perfect for you. Anything you earn can simply be withdrawn to your PayPal account (with only a $1.00 minimum for each withdrawal).

Step 3: Interested? Unsure? Gung-ho? 

I was kind of interested when I learned about Points2Shop - not sure if it was right for me and I knew I probably didn't have the spare time. If you're in that boat, just come over to Points2Shop and talk anonymously in the Shoutbox with whoever is online to get a better idea if it's right for you.

Once I started using it I saw that it was actually going to be very helpful. In my first two months I needed college textbooks, and I actually had no trouble earning the $120 to buy them.

If you're really digging this and want to at least try it for yourself, then jump over to one of the signup pages. You can register for either Cashle or Points2Shop, but once you have one account you use it on both sites.

I want to join Points2Shop! (because I want to get something free from Amazon)
I want to join Cashle! (because I'd rather just earn cash)
I would rather grow a brain wrinkle (because I'm a stick in the mud)

There are a lot of other GPT sites out there. Here are the names of a few - if you would recommend them just hit the UP arrow. But, if you got burned or just had a better experience elsewhere then the DOWN arrow will help show your sentiment.

Go ahead and add a new site if I've made a startling omission.
Sorry, no referral links here so please don't bother!
