Make $ While Shopping Online!

Many of you are aware that I had my (gulp) 7th child 6 weeks ago. Needless to say, I'm not getting out much. Especially when it comes to Christmas shopping!

Others of you are thinking there is no way you are wanting to go with THIS kind of stuff!! (aka: pix on the left)


Today I have compiled my best tips for shopping online. It's something I've been doing for years, and it's so easy and so fun!!




I've always purchased things online here and there. Years ago I opened Pay Pal for super easy online purchasing. I love it!! It's super secure and convenient!

More recently, I've been earning Amazon Gift Cards by simply searching the web via SwagBucks. Easiest $ I've ever earned! Not sure what SwagBucks is? Read my post explaining why it is the coolest thing since sliced bread!



And about a year ago, I joined Ebates. What is Ebates??? Just think of it as your "portal" to online shopping. When shopping online, Ebates members merely stop at Ebates first, look up the store they want to purchase something from, see if there are any coupon codes, and click on the link found at Ebates. Not only do Ebates members save $ because they find online coupon codes they may have not known of, they ALSO get CASH BACK from a percentage of their purchase (anywhere from 1-10%!)! Every quarter, Ebates will give you your MOOLAH - they even let you chose how to get your $. They'll send you a check, make a deposit in your PayPal account, or donate to a charity or family member in your name! I LOVE having OPTIONS!!!

Things I've purchase and received cash back from Ebates on:
  • Airline Tickets
  • Christmas Cards through Vista Print
  • Electronics purchased from Walmart.com
  • Christmas gifts I purchased online last year.
  • And more stuff, I can't even remember!!!
They have over 1200 stores that you can earn rebates through... not to mention all the great coupon codes they have! If you shop online, you're losing money if you don't go through Ebates!

Right now, you can get a $5 SIGN ON BONUS (if you don't make at least a $20 purchase in the first 90 days, you'll lose your $5 bonus. But I'm sure you will with Christmas right around the corner!) Just sign up through our link and make an instant $5!

So THAT is how I save (and EARN) money when I shop online! Hope you find it useful!!! (On Black Friday, you won't find me out with all the craziness - you'll find me at home, kickin back in my robe and slippers with my cup of hot Cocoa, shopping (and making $) online!

I have never shopped at RiteAid before. How do the SCR's work?

Its easy.
1. You enter your reciept info on their website. Rite Aid that is.

2. Wait until the end of the month and get a check in the mail that you can use in store or cash at the bank!
