Just Because I Love a Great Deal, Who Doesn't Love Free Money:)

With Christmas coming up, I thought I'd share a way to get an even better deal when shopping online. Probably most of you have heard of a company called Ebates, it's a company that you register with (for free of course) AND get a FREE $5 signing up credit… then look for the store you want to make purchases from, click the link to that store and you Ebates will give you x % cash back on your purchase, it's always a nice treat to get the check in the mail:)

So for example, if you are buying $50 online at Old Navy, they will give you 10% cash back on that purchase ($5).

Cashback checks are mailed out every 3 months to you. Some current examples today on Cyber Monday are:

SnapFish 20% cashback
Sears 10% cashback
Old Navy 10% cashback
Kmart 10% cashback
Kohls 8% cashback
Amazon 6% cashback
Macy's 6% cashback
Walmart 5% cashback

and many more. They also have coupons for those store on there:)
