Work the credit cards rewards system
When it comes time to make a “big” purchase (that’s like $50 or more for me), I first check each of my credit card rewards programs to see if there are any discounted gift cards that could help me out. For example, if I need camping gear, I might find that one of my credit cards is offering a $100 Bass Pro Shop gift card for $75 when bought on that credit card. So I buy that, and get my camping gear with that. That’s an instant savings of $25. This also comes in handy when getting gift cards for friends. Many credit cards rewards programs regularly have sales on major gift cards, like ones for Starbucks or Target. So you can get your friend a $25 gift card that you paid $20 for.
