Also, if you do shop regularly at Wal-mart, you can use their Savings Catcher and add your Wal-mart receipts. (You can either add them online by typing in the receipt number, or scan them with their app. It's flaky, but beats the hell out of typing in that long number.) Any money you get back can be cashed out to a Bluebird card. I got lucky last fall and got a decent amount back, then cashed in before the end of February to get the double credit offer by cashing out to Bluebird. Ended up with over $100 free from that!
Had no idea, my hubby actually has one of these cards just for this purpose! And yes, apparently he did the double credit thing too, so Yeah!

Because I am an idiot and know absolutely nothing at all about these tablets!! And yes, I will freely admit it! I really wish we had more traffic over in the Fire thread so I could read up on all these helpful hints. We need a dedicated thread for the cheap one we all bought like the Moto E thread. I'll definitely check into freetime too. Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh, and just so everyone knows, these are going to two different houses. My mom is getting one, my dad gets a subscription to the Wall Street Journal every year for Christmas. My Father In Law will be getting the other Fire. I have no clue what I will be getting my Mother In Law yet.
