Buy It in Bulk: Gift Cards
Whether you're giving them as presents or keeping them for yourself, gift cards are a better deal when you buy more of them. They're available for anything from movies (we found 10 tickets to any AMC theater for $85), to restaurants (five $20 gift cards to Peet's Coffee for $80), to music and app downloads (a 4-pack of $25 iTunes gift cards for $95). And while we're on the subject of giving, if you're still sending old-fashioned greeting cards (yay for tradition!), many Etsy sellers offer bulk discounts, such as this one which offers any six designs in her collection for $20.
