The economy is still tight, as is your budget, but there are still gifts left on your holiday shopping list. You just happen to have a few old electronic gadgets lying around…. Gamestop wants to help you put more “Jingle in Your Pocket” this holiday season!
Gamestop’s new program allows you to bring in your old iPod, iPhone &/or iPad for some jingle in your pocket. This program is unlike many of the other programs out there… with Gamestop there is no packing, no shipping and no hassle. A store associate can tell you the value of your trade items before you commit and will give you cash or store credit right there on the spot.
| Current Trade Values:
· iPod Nano – Up to $70 · iPod – Up to $150 · iPhone – Up to $180 · iPad – Up to $300 |
Gamestop has helped me stretch my holiday budget in other ways as well. I brought in all of our old video games the children have lost interest in or just plain old “beat” and was able to walk out with new games to put under the tree!
The associate was able to tell me on the spot how much they could give me for the game, I can veto or accept and was given store credit (with cash option) on the spot. They offered me a little more for store credit so I chose that and purchased the games. Quick, easy and it decluttered our game area!
Find a store near you and drop by Gamestop… soon!
MomSpark is giving away a $1,000 gc to Gamestop. Just share a photo of yourself trading in your iPod, iPhone &/or iPad at Gamestop to enter… go check it out!

I did all my shopping online on Black Friday!
I’m taking my time to rethink all purchases. I make sure I’m getting the best price on everything from toys to chocolate chips to paper towels!
shopping online saves money and time…ebay and Craigslist are great sites
Just not buying stuff we don’t need!
We decided this year to buy 2 or 3 gifts our kids would really enjoy instead of buying a lot of junk they don’t need.
I am just cutting way back on the number of gifts that everyone is getting. I usually go way overboard.
Couponing puts more jingle in our pockets
What an awesome program! I’m saving money buy purchasing gift cards at our local Kroger store because they are giving 4x the fuel points when you purchase gift cards from them!!
Gas is so expensive, this is a great deal.

most of my gifts are sweepstakes wins.

tmarie56@hotmail.com
I started shopping early this year. I believe my first order was placed in May. Then I placed orders online on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I even stayed up all night and went shopping on Black Friday. I shopped from 10pm Thanksgiving Day (Walmart) to 5pm Friday (Walmart-non supercenter). I’ve picked up a few things from Christmas lists from Amazon when the prices finally dropped and I signed up for the free Shopprunner promo and Amazon mom promo to get free shipping. This is the least amount that I spent in several years, but my tree is going to be packed. I even used Totsy to get a majority of my sons train sets when they were deeply discounted and I am so glad I did because no one has been able to touch those prices.
We draw names so we don’t buy all the adults gifts 🙂
I purchase only items on sale.
I entered contest and won some of my presents. I also shopped sales and used coupons when I can.
I didn’t pay full price for anything and got it all before or on black friday.
I am watching and buying more things on sale
I watch for really good sales and buy when I think it won’t go any cheaper. Most things have gone up quite a bit in price since buying too!
thisisme79 @ gmail dot com
I shop throughout the year, enter online giveaways, watch sales like a hawk, overthink every single purchase down to the “do my kids really need socks” even though they REALLLLLLLLLY need them, went out on Black Friday and fought the crowds, shopped yard sales for 2 gifts for my son, and a mixture of everything in between.
Shopping online…no crazy traffic, no bad weather, no long cashier lines, no grumpy customers…WINNING!

Stretching my dollars with BOGO deals, coupons, sales, and clearance whenever available
I was able to save a lot by doing online shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
cool thank you for the contest. first time posting on this blog so hoping first time is a charm
I am actually looking for deals online now. its too much of a hassle to go to the store and find some
Gamestop is decent for trade-ins on occasions, like when they’re having a promotion, but for the olders games they give you next to nothing for it that it’s hardly worth the trip. Selling locally is also a good alternative: might take a little more time, but you’d get a lot more most of the time. If also keep up with pre-order offers or price drops, it’s also possible to get brand new games at discounted prices without having to trade-in games; most retailer these days offer price-match or pre-order giftcards. Personally, I like to hold onto most of my games, even after they’re completed, but I can see the merit in trade-in: trying to stretch every dollar.
shopping with ebates.com
I’m sticking to my budget and still getting my kids some of the toys that they want by shopping around and looking for the deals. I haven’t paid full price for anything yet!
I have been pricing out everything before I buy it. I calculate the price per item/ounce and often buy stuff off of Amazon since you don’t pay tax it is often cheaper 🙂 Also, I did all my Christmas shopping on-line this year on Cyber Monday. Got great deals, and didn’t have to spend the gas money to go to the store!

by entering giveaways 🙂
this year, i’d say 90% (if not more) of our christmas gifts were from giveaway winnings. It’s been a life-saver. We have 2 young children (1 & 4) and our oldest (the 4 year) has a birthday right before christmas (actually today 12/21). we’re completely broke so this has allowed us to have a big christmas for the kids without much out of pocket!
I’ve used coupons and saved up gift cards to save my jingle
I’ll stick to my list and budget and keep an eye open for coupons and deals
Thank you for hosting this giveaway
