Gift Card Rescue

There are times when I'm amazed that I've gone my whole life without knowing/tasting/seeing/doing something.

Ever heard of Gift Card Rescue?  No?  Well, until yesterday, me either.  But, holy buckets, it's rocked my socks off and I haven't even bought one yet.

We all know I'm a big fan of bargains.  Thrift stores, Goodwill, coupons, etc.  Basically anything that's going to save me some cash.  Well, consider this...  GCR (we're gonna abbreviate because I'm already tired of typing the whole name out) allows you to buy a gift card at a discount (4%-30% is what I've seen so far) and then you can combine that with a sale or coupon for even bigger and better savings!  Can I get a WHOO!?

I live with a very pampered pooch.  I gripe about her a lot, but I do love the stinky canine.  Here she is before she ate her Christmas shirt.


Miss Thang's name is Snickers.  Most days I think she eats better/healthier than we do.  My Dad & Bonnie buy fancy-pants organic dog food for her because she's got killer allergies and it seems to help (combined with her daily Benadryl).

The fancy-pants dog food is pricey.  PetCo doesn't seem to ever put it on sale either.  So, being the fan-freakin'-tastic daughter that I am, I looked for a PetCo card on GCR.  Guess what?  They've got 'em...

Pretty sweet, right?  I know 10% isn't much, but it's better than nothing!  Especially since PetCo discounts are hard to come by.

Gift Card Rescue has a TON of cards available, and the selection changes all the time (since they BUY and SELL cards).  They have Dots for 25% off, Kohls & JCPenny for 15% off...and all of these can be combined with coupons too.  SCORE!

Go check it out and buy one if it helps you save on a budgeted purchase!

P.S.  I was not paid for this plug.  Gift Card Rescue doesn't know me from Adam, I just wanted to pass along some good info.
