Shop Online Much?

I know that I probably should have posted on this before Christmas but since I figure I'm not the only one scooping up some online deals in the after-Christmas sales I'd post it now. I subscribe to a bunch of blogs and about 4-5 are them are money saving blogs. About 2 months ago one of them had a link to sign up for Ebates. I checked it out and I'm pretty glad I did. I don't shop online much, but here's how it works.

1. You go to their website and sign up - all you need is an email and password. They'll even give you $5 to start out with just for signing up.

2. When I shop online I go to their website and find my store in their listing. No matter where I have shopped lately, my stores have always been on the list. Motherhood Maternity, Drugstore.com, Amazon.com, Wal-Mart.com - seriously pretty much everybody is there. Besides just having a store listing they also have a coupon section where you can look up your store and see if they have any coupons or deals listed - like free shipping on my Drugstore.com order.

3. Once you find their store you click on it and it will bring up a tracking ticket and then take you to their storefront where you shop as usual. After you make a purchase a certain percentage of your purchase price is added to your account.

4. Ebates keeps track of your cash-back and sends you a "big fat check" quarterly. So far I've only earned about $15.00 cash back but, hey that's $15 I wouldn't have had if I hadn't shopped through them, right? I think I've only made 3 purchases with them too so it isn't too bad.

Honestly it is pretty easy or I wouldn't bother. All it takes is one more step, going to eBates first, before shopping and you get some money back. Not too shabby. So, if you want to give it a try click on this link and get signed up! Happy online deal finding!
