Before we dive into the puzzles, I do want to mention a few ways that we have saved A LOT of money over the years on our puzzle collection.
Three Easy Ways to Save on Jigsaw Puzzles
Find Out if Your Local Library Lends Puzzles- I can’t tell you all of the ways we have saved money over the years with our local library.
Contact your local library to see if they offer any jigsaw puzzle exchanges or if you can check out puzzles with your library card.
Start a Puzzle Swap With Friends- One of the best ways we have saved is offering a puzzle swap with our friends.
When we have coffee together, we just bring our puzzles we have finished and trade them for a fresh puzzle.
Check Deals Sites For Deep Discounts On Puzzles- If you want to buy puzzles at a brick and mortar spot, our used bookstores offer huge savings on used puzzles as well as new.
No matter where you shop make sure that you are signed up with Rakuten and that you activate your savings before any shopping!
If you are new to the Rakuten app, this discount code should give you $30 on your first puzzle purchase! I also wrote a tutorial on how to use the app on items you regularly buy that will give you cashback rewards.
