Here we go – this project has been sitting in my head for a while and I’m finally down to sit and put it out on paper – well more like on the screen. This blog will be all about discounts, coupons, tricks that can save you big bucks that have been doing a good job for me. Maybe it will help you find ways to buy things you couldn’t afford otherwise, things you need but can’t afford, simply survive in this tough economics or save $$$ to invest etc.
Attention! There will be referral links – just an extra buck for my time sharing this with you I guess)) but I promise I’ll be 100% honest about my experiences and secrets.
The first thing I want to share with you is my absolute favorite – a website that gives you cash back on almost all online shopping, plus coupons – Ebates.com. It works about same way your credit card cash back works – they pay you a percent of what you’ve spend back.
Here’s how my account looks like:
They give different cash back % for every website and it ranges from 1% to 64% (maximum I’ve ever seen there), but 1-6% are most popular.
All you have to do is create an account on ebates.com and go through it every time you shop.
- Start on ebates.com for all your online shopping
- Browse and shop at any of the 1,700 online shops
- Shop at the store and earn cash back
Or there is an easier way when you can just install ebates button in the browser that will remind you to click it every time you shop plus it will automatically apply all the coupons they have on file for that site.
The payout is every 3 month via paypal and here is the schedule:
| Purchases Posted Between | Big Fat Check Sent |
| Jan 1-Mar 31 | May 15 |
| Apr 1-June 30 | Aug 15 |
| July 1-Sept 30 | Nov 15 |
| Oct 1-Dec 31 | Feb 15 |
Using this website I basically double up on cash back – my credit card cash back (1-5%) plus ebates cashback (1-64%) [I will talk about the best credit cards bwith you soon].
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Millions of blessings!
