So many families in America these days are trying to live a more frugal life, and our family is most definitely one of them. I'd like to use this post to introduce one of my favorite online shopping resources. Ebates (click on the word to go to the website) is a website one can use to get cash back from every online shopping trip they make! I find that being a busy mother means having to plan pretty well for any alone time, let alone a shopping trip, so for me, online shopping has become a major lifesaver in the last few years (as long as I know what I'm shopping for).
Here is what Ebates is all about:
Joining Ebates is free. All you have to do is sign up (using your email address), answer a few questions about yourself and your preferred cash-back method, and then you are ready to start shopping! Before you make an online shopping trip, go to the Ebates website first. Log in, and then select your store (while most online stores are a part of Ebates, not ALL of them are). The Ebates website will directly take you to the website of the store which you're looking to shop at, and then all you have to do is proceed as usual with your shopping trip/checkout. Ebates will take care of the rest. Soon after your shopping trip is completed, you will receive an email from them detailing your latest online purchase and letting you know exactly how much cash back you will receive from that trip. While some stores give only 2% cash back, others give more, and every dollar really does add up! From my last Ebates check, I received $70! The checks are mailed every four months or so, and the best part is, a few times a year Ebates has a Refer-A-Friend bonus!
If you'd like to sign up for Ebates, please click here and get started!
P.S. Currently, Ebates is giving back extra cash for many stores as a Mother's Day deal! What could be better than shopping from your home AND getting some of the money back for it!?
