For those of you who have come across this post as you were searching for ways to save on your Labor Day and fall shopping, you’re in luck! I am about to share with you the perfect way to spend less and pocket more money by using Plastic Jungle.

Labor Day is just one week away. Instead of fretting about the money you are planning to spend this weekend, have a backup plan. Trade gift cards you have in your sock drawer for an Amazon.com Gift Card or cash. Replenish your bank account with these newly discovered funds. Plastic Jungle buys gift cards for up to 92% of the verified balance. Sell your gift cards now!

If you don’t have a gift card to trade, don’t worry. You can save big by purchasing gift cards you need to do your Labor Day shopping at a truly deep discount. View all the available gift cards.

Many of our savvy shoppers are experts at buying, selling and exchanging gift cards at Plastic Jungle and know what an awesome way it is to save money, but what if you are brand new to the process? No problem. Check out How Plastic Jungle works. You will find gift cards for up to 30% off and be able to sell the gift cards you don’t plan to use for as much as 92% of their original value.

It really is easy. So what are you waiting for? Get busy shopping and enjoy your Labor Day weekend knowing you saved a bundle.

If you are looking for a relaxing getaway this fall, Plastic Jungle also has gift cards for luxury and personal items, such as hotels, spas, and restaurants. Escape the heat and indulge, you deserve it!

If you have kids, you’ve probably been running around, helter-skelter, trying to get everything bought and organized for the start of a new school year. By now you are probably ready to pull your hair out. And even though school has already started in many places around the country, it’s entirely possible that you may have forgotten some essentials. Or just as likely, your child came home on the first day of school with a list from the teacher of extra school supplies he or she will need.  You’re not alone!

Don’t fret!  We’ve got your covered.  You can buy a Target gift card and save up to 4% on back-to-school supplies (many of them are on sale right now too, so add that to your gift card savings and you will have money left over to treat yourself to a movie with an AMC Theater gift card, which are listed at up to 14% off on PlasticJungle.com).

If your back-to-school budget has already been spent and then some… We have a solution for that dilemma as well:

We’d be willing to bet that you have a gift card or two in your home.  Maybe you received it for your birthday, or perhaps you won a gift card online.  Sell it to us!  We’ll give you cash (or you can exchange it for an Amazon.com Gift Card which you can use to finish your back-to-school shopping).

With a little creativity and effort, you can turn back-to-school shopping into a savings adventure!

Did an item on your back-to-school list catch you by surprise this year?
