Christmas Help
Christmas stress has already started for us, well, financial stress I should say. We are spending the least we have ever spent on Christmas before and are having to make each penny count. This year we will be buying gifts for our 3 girls, and maybe my neice and nephew - THAT'S IT!
In order to help us spend what little money we have the best, I wanted to pass along a great website. Want to actually make money this season? Try Ebates! Ebates is a website that you sign up with, and then you can search hundreds of stores to get specials and cash back discounts (fyi, if you do sign up under me I get a credit, but that's not the reason why I am telling you about this). You can also refer friends and get a credit if they sign up.
So here's how it works: I got some birthday money and wanted to buy a designer purse. I found my purse on Nordstrom.com. So I went to Ebates and pulled up Nordstroms on their list of stores and went to Nordstroms through Ebates (they set up a tracking ticket). You then do your shopping and each store is set up with a different percent of money you get back from your purchase. You can also get deals for free shipping, etc. with the different stores.
With my purse, I got back $3.60 (I know, doesn't seem like a lot, but they add up). Today, I ordered stocking stuffers for the girls from Avon (a friend is a rep). They have them really cheap and I will get 5% cash back on my purchase. They have tons of stores like Walmart, Kmart, Shutterfly (15% cashback), Snapfish (10%), Old Navy, and the list goes on. Since I usually do a lot of my shopping online and Christmas pictures, I figure why not make some money in the process. I already have almost $15 in my account and I am not done yet. Wonder how much I will get back just for the holidays??? I'll let you know.
