This is a tough quarter unless you have some Home Improvement purchases planned or use a lot of gas.

Buy Lowe’s, Home Depot, Menard’s or your favorite gas station gift cards: I would only do this if you know you will have a use for them in the near future.

Buy third party gift cards at Lowe’s and Home Depot: I haven’t been in a Lowe’s or Home Depot in probably five years but they used to sell third party gift cards. I remember seeing BP and Shell. YMMV.
