Aside from all the free samples and treats, like a four-pound pumpkin pie, shopping at warehouse clubs like Costco or Sam’s Club can not only save you some cash, but you can make some too.
The extra cash comes in the form of gift cards which you can find at warehouse clubs for a discount. Put it this way, you can easily get, say, a $50 gift card for $40 —or sometimes less — meaning that you basically made $10!
Sometimes, the gift card deals are even bigger, especially when the holidays roll around. For instance, right now Costco has a four-pack of $25 Build-A-Bear Workshop gift cards for just $70. That’s a savings of $30 and means one of the gift cards is totally free. The gift cards are delivered via email and can be used at any Build-A-Bear location, where your child can make their own furry friend.
The $30 savings is only good through Nov. 26, but once you’ve purchased the gift cards, they can be used on stuffed animals, clothing, accessories and more, whenever you want to use them.
Most stuffed friends at Build-A-Bear actually cost around $30, so the savings is pretty much like getting a bear for free. That includes the company’s latest arrival, a plush Grinch for $25.50, just in time for the holidays. Other holiday characters to choose from include friends from “The Polar Express” and Disney’s “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”
