I found this neat post at Money Saving Mom. Below is an excerpt, for the full post go here.
Wanting to have a cash-only Christmas this year but struggling to come up with the cash?
Here are just a few ideas you might try:
1) CoinStar–Gather up all your loose change and take it to the nearest CoinStar machine to be converted into gift cards or cash. If you can come up with $40 worth in change, you can get an additional $10 bonus. Read more here.
2) Cash4Books
3) Turn your “trash” into cash.
4) Etsy
5) YouData
