I hate to admit it but I am something of a shopping guru. I cannot leave a store feeling like I did not get a good deal. And since I live in a rural area where shopping is quite spread out and slim pickins' I shop online a lot. I repeat, a lot. To the point even the dog gets excited when she hears the UPS truck. She thinks he is Santa Claus all year around since dog biscuits come once a month in a big brown box. Along with the biscuits comes cosmetics, Caldrea laundry products, Tampax, Clif bars, vitamins and other essentials which I know seems strange given that I hit Target about once a week. But here's my secret. I shop thru this link.

Ebates is simple. There are over 1200 stores on this site. I most often use Sephora, Gap, J Crew, Barnes and Nobles, Boden, The Body Shop, Orbitz, Ebags, Shoes and Shoebuy and probably my favorite, Drugstore. I earn a percentage back usually anywhere from 2% to 10% but sometimes as much as 26%. Just find the store you want, click it and it will open a new window and direct you there in seconds. Shop, check out and within just a few days, your cash back will be in your Ebates account and then mailed to you by check every quarter. I just received a check for over $130 and that's before Christmas shopping! Another cool thing is they run double cash back days and post coupons that you will not get elsewhere.
What I find most advantageous is that once you get into the habit of linking thru Ebates, it is so easy to get good deals in addition to the money you are earning just for linking. Free shipping, free returns, easier searches when searching for a specific type of store. Ultimately, Ebates cuts my browsing time and who doesn't appreciate more time? Happy Shopping!!
