Do You Use Your Gift Cards?

I am totally intrigued by PlasticJungle.com It’s such a good idea that I’m surprised it took so long to come up with it. I have had gift cards sit around until I wondered if they had any value left.  Sometimes they were given to me for a store that I rarely shop at or is difficult for me to get to.  Redeeming them for cash is an idea that makes sense. That’s one side of this deal.

The other part is one of those cost saving ideas that makes sense to us here at Cheap Living Today.  If you know that you are going to shop at a particular store, you can buy a discounted gift card and apply it to your purchase.  It’s like an instant coupon.  You can boost your savings by adding other coupons or shopping sales.  This is especially nice if you have to buy a big ticket item.  It’s really worth your time to check out the Plastic Jungle and see if they have something that fits your need.

The reason I like this so much is that it really is a win/win situation for all involved.    PlasticJungle.com verifies the validity of the card so you are guaranteed to be getting what you purchase.  When the original card holders can get some cash for a card they don’t want to use and other people can buy that card at a discount, what’s not to like?
