i love a bargain

I am a very savvy shopper. I discovered Ebates back when we lived in Austin, and am just a few cents shy of the $500 mark. Yes, I earned almost FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for doing something I would have done anyway - buy something online.

No, it didn't happen overnight, and yes, the refunds aren't as high as they were in the early days. But still every little bit helps, right? Even an extra two percent is better than nothing. And who doesn't love a surprise CHECK in the mail!?

Signing up is easy. Just follow this link to get started. Then next time you need something, log in to your ebates account first, and start saving.

The stores change over time (there are over 800 selling everything from apparel to books to travel to computers. And the amount refunded can change as well. The nice thing is if the site is also offering are reward like free shipping or an extra discount they will tell you. And just because you are using Ebates, doesn't mean you don't qualify for it. Here are just a few of the places I have earned ebates from:

Nordstrom
Danskin
Cooking.com
Eddie Bauer
Maryland Square
The Gap


Other stores you may have heard of include:

Barnes & Nobel
Expedia
JC Penny
Apple
Target.com


Once you sign up, be sure to get your friends to do so too. They will give you a bonus after your friend's first purchase.
