Toys R Us Wants to Give You Money For Your Old iPods

I could go on for days on how you can recycle your old gadgets, but what about those times you just need some cash in order to upgrade to a newer model?

I could go on for days on how you can recycle your old gadgets, but what about those times you just need some cash in order to upgrade to a newer model? Well, you can try your hand at selling them on Craigslist or Ebay, but if you've got your eye on a new iPod, then next week is your week, my friend.

Starting on Oct. 17, and running through Oct. 23, you can take up to three used iPods into select Toys R Us locations and receive up to $100 toward a newer model (iPod or iPod Touch) in the form of a Toys R Us "trade up" card. Your old iPods will need to be in working order of course, and payment will depend on the age, model, and condition, but hey — seems like an easy way to make some quick cash off of a gadget that served its time well.

Companies Caring This Holiday Season

"It is better to give than to receive" is a lesson mom often tries to teach her wee ones. Some companies are practicing what we preach this holiday season. Mommies can feel good about handing off their hard earned money to these businesses knowing that a percentage (be it small) is going towards philanthropic efforts and helping some less fortunate children have a better and brighter holiday.

Turn In Your Used Baby Items For Some Cash

Call it cash for baby clunkers.

Call it cash for baby clunkers. Like the federal government's program designed to remove gas guzzlers from the road, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us are launching a program to draw attention to the number of baby products that should not be handed down or resold to a new generation of lil ones.

Beginning Friday, the stores will launch the Great Trade-In, allowing parents to bring in used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards and high chairs in exchange for a 20% savings on the purchase of any new baby item by certain manufacturers – including Britax, Chicco, Evenflo and Graco. The three-week program hopes to target the 70 percent of recalled products that are never returned to stores. Before rifling through your used baby items, be sure to check out our tips regarding hand-me-downs to see if an item can be used again.
