I know, I know. Christmas stuff already? But when retailers are already putting out the decor, then it’s on. Especially during this year when we’re looking for any event to look forward to, to take our mind off things.

So let’s think about presents instead. And delicious food. On average, people spend more than $1,000 on gifts, food, travel during the holidays. That’s a lot! But you can start prepping for that now to make it easier on yourself.

Below are some of our favorite ways to earn and save some money! Small consistent moves will pay off by the time December rolls around.

“I love that you don’t have to purchase anything to win! Each level is different, so it never gets monotonous! – Noelle Belmore

2. Pop Bubbles to Win Legit Cash

Play for free, and then switch to cash games to increase your winnings whenever you want.

3. Get Free Money Back on All Your Shopping Hauls

Check your pockets; check your purse. And keep receipts for your iPhone.

Just grab all your recent receipts from your coffee runs, grocery trips, restaurants, and gas station fill-ups, scan them into Fetch Rewards on iOS, and earn points for free money! Connect your email account, as well, to count DIGITAL receipts from Amazon, Instacart, and more.

Basically, snap a pic of your receipt from anywhere, and that’s it; you’ve got points for money. There’s no minimum spend, no need to select items manually, scan in any receipt from any store or gas station, and it’ll automatically reward you.

It’s free and easy to use and is a must-have iOS app for anyone who buys stuff!

4. This Paid Survey Panel Gives Out 7,000 Gift Cards Daily

There are a lot of survey programs out there, but none as popular as Swagbucks, a free rewards program where you can earn cash for your time and opinion. Members can earn an average of $50 a month!

You get rewarded for doing surveys, searching the web, reading articles, watching videos, and playing fun games but the one activity that earns you the most points is completing surveys. (Don’t skip out on those!)
