You might know that your local ACME or Shaws grocery stores sells gift cards but did you know that buying gift cards at either store could save you money right now?

Now through 11/5/15 When you buy $100 or more in Amazon.com, Macy’s, Cabelas, Sports Authority, Overstock.com, Nike, or Ebay gift cards you get a coupon worth $10 off your purchase of $25 or more at ACME or Shaws.

Earn Credit Card Rewards: By using your favorite rewards credit card to purchase, you can earn points, miles or a percentage back on your purchase. Some credit cards even offer increased rewards for purchases made at grocery. For example, the Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express offers 3% cash back on groceries, and the Blue Cash Preferred® Card offers a whopping 6% cash back! Capital One QuicksilverOne®, AMEX EveryDay® and Citi® Hilton HHonors credit cards also offer increased rewards for grocery purchases.

This would be good for holiday shopping. Let me give you a scenario.

Your have a list of things your kids want. IDO3D Pen, quadcopter, WWE 2k16, Kindle (not that I’m looking at my kids list or anything) and you realize you can buy all this stuff on Amazon so you grab a $100 Amazon gift card at ACME.  Maybe you use your Blue Cash preferred card and you also get 6% back, oh and when you shop Amazon maybe you go through Mypoints because you can earn points from them too. Then you use that nice $10 off a $25 purchase to help curb the cost of your holiday ham. Bam you just saved all kinds of money all because you bought an Amazon gift card at ACME.

Ok here’s another scenario.  Maybe your significant other is a hunter. Then want a new pair of boots, maybe a new sight for their gun, I dunno, whatever a hunter might want.  So you buy a $100 Cabela’s gift card at Shaws with your Capital One card. You go through Ebates to earn 1% cash back at Cabela’s while using that gift card you bought.  And again, you get the $10 off a $25 purchase to buy your holiday baking ingredients.

You get the idea, now get saving!
