Here’s what frugal friend Cacey said about using Survey Junkie: “Survey junkie is a great site and I am still a junky. After receiving just 1000 points you can cash out. You can literally cash out everyday on this site. The have some high rewarding surveys in reasonable amount of time. Once you have been a member a while they really started to qualify me more and more. Maybe other people will experience other success but if you are honest throughout your survey taking you should be able to cash in for Amazon gift cards in no time…”

#8: Add A Gift Card To Your Order To Get Free Shipping!
If you’re not an Amazon Prime Member, you will need to spend at least $25 to get free shipping. So what can you do if your order doesn’t add up to $25 and you still want free shipping? You can actually still qualify for free shipping if your order doesn’t add up to $25 or more. You can do this by adding a physical gift card to your order. Just make sure the gift card is something other than an Amazon Gift Card. Also, try to find a gift card that is for a store or restaurant you regularly visit.
#9: Add Items To Your Shopping Cart… then WAIT for the Price to Drop!
This is another easy Amazon money saving tip, that I do ALL the time! Seriously… you really need to try this clever tip for saving money on items you plan to buy. It makes it so easy to avoid overpaying and to get the very best prices on items you’ve had your eye on!
Amazon is always adjusting the prices on their products, something substantially. Simply add items you plan to buy to your shopping cart… then wait for the price to go down.
Each time you go to your Amazon account and view your shopping cart, Amazon will notify you if the price has gone up or down. Simply wait until the price has gone down to make your purchase. I do this all the time and it’s become one of my favorite ways to save money when shopping on Amazon!
For example, I had my eye on these gorgeous high quality stainless steel pots and pans, but they were listed at around $90. There was no way I was going to pay $90 for these, but I also knew they were great quality and would last a long time. So I added them to my cart and just waited. Then every morning when I woke up, I just clicked on my ‘Cart’ on Amazon.com, to see if the prices had changed. One morning, I noticed they had dropped from $90 to $48! So I snatched them right up and practically got two for the price of one! Cha-ching! It takes patience, but can sure pay off!
#10: Take Online Surveys from Opinion Outpost, Get More Free Amazon Gift Cards!
Simply earn 50 points by taking Opinion Outpost Surveys and you can redeem your points for a $5.00 Amazon Gift Card.
50 Opinion Outpost Survey Points = a $5.00 Amazon Gift Card!

“I love Opinion Outpost!” ~ Kendall
“I recently went to Cancun because of all my earnings on Opinion Outpost!” ~ Kristy
#11: Cancel Amazon Prime, and Save $12.99/month!
I know, I know… Amazon Prime has its benefits, but if you don’t need it, just let it go! It’s costing you $12.99 per month! I used to have Prime, but once I dropped it, it took just a few weeks for me to get over missing it. Seriously… I never looked back! Now I just know that shipping will often take longer, so I just plan my purchases accordingly.

If you use BING as a search engine you can earn points and get AMAZON gift cards that way too. They have daily quizzes and surveys and tips to earn extra points also. I have enough points in my account right now for $25 in Amazon cards. I let it build up until I find something I really want.

That’s a great tip, Debra… thanks for sharing!
