There’s something about biting into a piece of moist, hot cornbread from Boston Market that just brings a sense of home style cooking to life on my tastebuds.

Earlier this year, Boston Market cornbread cravings nearly took me over, so for my birthday I requested that my husband take me out to Boston Market.  With a Boston Market online coupon (which I pulled up from my phone) we saved a few dollars.  By combining Boston Market coupons with discount Boston Market gift cards, you can enjoy Boston Market beef brisket, pot pie, and meatloaf for more than 20% off.

Let’s do the math.  Dinner for a family of 5 at Boston Market could cost $25 – $40.  With discount Boston Market gift cards from Plastic Jungle, your Boston Market dinner for 5 would cost about $20 – $32!  I could think of a thing to two that I could get with an extra $5 – $8 in my wallet.  Can you?

When you get to choose among cinnamon apples, fresh vegetable stuffing, sweet corn, and mash potatoes, it is really hard to narrow down what to order.  My longing was fulfilled with Boston Market’s famous Rotisserie Chicken, creamed spinach, and macaroni and cheese.

Okay… just writing about it makes me want more Boston Market cornbread.

Buy discount Boston Market gift cards so you can save 20% off Boston Market cornbread and other home style favorites at Boston Market.

What are your plans?

When is the last time you spotted an unused gift card?

You’re running an errand with a family member and as she goes to reach for her credit card out falls an unused gift card – the same unused gift card you’ve seen for the past 3 months.  Do you tell her she can sell it to Plastic Jungle and get a check?

Your coworker got a power drill from his grandma for his birthday, but he doesn’t want it.  He can return the drill to Lowe’s for a Lowe’s gift card, but he doesn’t know what he would buy with a $100 Lowe’s gift card. Will you tell him to sell the gift card to Plastic Jungle so he can get a cash deposit into his PayPal account?

You see a Facebook plea from a friend who is willing to sell a $100 Starbucks gift card she won but won’t use because she doesn’t drink coffee.  (This happened to me last week!)  Will you respond to her post with a note about Plastic Jungle and how she can receive up to 92% of the face value of the gift card as Amazon.com gift card if she sells the gift card?

Chances are we all know know of someone who has an unused gift card in their possession.  The sad news is, if a gift card goes unused for more than a few months it is more likely to get misplaced.

Help others free trapped gift card dollars by telling them how to sell unused gift cards to Plastic Jungle – the Web’s largest secured gift card exchange.

As long as the gift card has a value of $25 or more, Plastic Jungle will let the seller choose which payout option he or she wants and Plastic Jungle will even pay for postage to mail in the gift card (if applicable).  Once Plastic Jungle receives the gift card and verifies the value, either a cashier’s check, Amazon.com gift card via email, or PayPal credit will be processed.

Your friends will thank you for telling them about Plastic Jungle.  You never know how they money might be put to use.  They might have been tight on cash and needed to find money to pay a bill, buy groceries, or give a gift.

Be a friend and don’t let your friends clog their wallets with unused gift cards.  Tell them how they can sell gift cards to Plastic Jungle.

Make Plastic Jungle discount gift cards part of your spending strategy, and you’ll spend less all year long.

No longer is finding a good deal only about having a coupon or finding a sale.  In this day of age, deal stacking (using multiple discounts all on one purchase) with Plastic Jungle discount gift cards is the way to maximize your savings.

Ready for a quick breakdown of how to save all year long?

Routine Shopping

Weekly or monthly you probably visit a lot of the same retailers.  Some for groceries, some for household items, and some for gasoline.

Are you buying produce and general food staples  as well as cleaning supplies and toiletries at Target, Walmart , or Sam’s Club?  Buy discount Target gift cards before you stock up and save 3% off refilling your pantry, refrigerator, and shelves.  With discount Walmart/Sam’s Club gift cards, you can save 2% off every day purchases from paper products and snack foods to laundry detergent and cosmetics.   

Gasoline discounts are rare to find most anywhere so it’s no wonder Plastic Jungle discount gasoline gift cards sell fast.  Take a few minutes to set up a Plastic Jungle account and tell us which gift card brands you’d like to alerted about, including BP and Arco discount gift cards and Exxon-Mobil discount gift cards, so you can be among the first to get your hands on these discount gift cards when they’re in stock.

Big Purchases

What gadget, appliance, or electronic device are you hoping to purchase this year?

Big ticket items can make many of us cringe at the thought of dropping an enormous amount of cash on one purchase.  Take some of the sting out of making a big purchase by planning to use discount Plastic Jungle gift cards for the purchase. Last year, my husband and I saved $595 (33% off) when we furnished our house with blinds by stacking Plastic Jungle discount Home Depot gift cards (available for 7% off) with a store sale and coupon. Read about our story here.

Gift Giving

Chances are some time this year you are going to be invited to a wedding, birthday celebration, or special occasion where you’ll be on the hunt for the perfect gift.

Thanks to gift registries, much of the guess work on what to buy has been eliminated.  But… don’t merely rely on the gift registry, if one is available.  Consider giving the gift of a discount gift card to a store where your friend or family member has registered.  Or, you can always purchase discount gift cards to purchase gifts you’ll be giving to celebrate someone’s special day.  Find out how to save on gifts for weddings and showers here.

With Plastic Jungle discount gift cards you can save on purchases big and small year-round.

Years ago, it used to seem as frequently as I was asked to choose a bag type, “Paper or plastic?” at the grocery store, I also heard, “Cash, check, or charge?”  Today is a whole different story as many more payment options exist.  Many stores now also accept manufacturer coupons, store coupons, and gift cards.

In the traditional sense, gift cards are used to pay for an item after someone gives you a gift card as a gift for a birthday or special occasion.

With Plastic Jungle, gift cards unlock an whole new level of savings – in addition to store sales, coupons, and credit and debit card rewards.

To increase your savings, all you do is stack discounts by…

Paying with Discount Gift Cards

Stop paying for purchases with credit cards, debit cards, check, or cash and start using discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle as tender and you’ll save up to 35% on your purchase aside from any store sales or other discounts.  Can you think of a future purchase you’d like to get for less?  Create a Plastic Jungle account (by clicking “Sign In” in the top right corner at PlasticJungle.com) and then set up Alerts for the stores you like most and Plastic Jungle will email you when discount gift cards for those stores are in stock.

Credit & Debit Card Rewards

Buy discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle with your credit or debit card and earn rewards while saving money. I know that sounds backwards, but it’s true. (Check your card agreement for details, or explore the potential you could be earning by asking friends and family which card they recommend.)

Manufacturer & Store Coupons

Coupons are helpful ways to save money, but coupons are even more helpful to your finances when you combine them with discount gift cards.  Here’s a simple “Recipe for Saving.” For instance, if you have a coupon for a purchase you plan to make at Target, buy a discount Target gift card from Plastic Jungle so you can save an additional 3% on the SAME PURCHASE.

Store Sales

Adding to the “Recipe for Saving” described above, think of store sales as chocolate chips – cookies are good without them, but they’re even sweeter with them.  When you combine discount gift cards with coupons AND store sales your savings grow.

If you’re an extreme couponer or just a fan of the reality t.v. show, you may know that part of the secret to getting the best price on an item is all in the strategy.

Make buying discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle part of your money-saving strategy and you’ll see your savings multiply.
