Couponing 101: Get Paid to Shop Online!


Using coupons and saving money is not just for the grocery store.  The two main ways I save money while shopping online are Retail Me Not and Ebates.  I NEVER make a purchase online without checking these two sites first.

Retail Me Not is a database of online coupon codes.  Not every business has codes posted--some specifically request that they not be posted.  However, most stores do have codes available so use them to your advantage!

I also use Ebates, a cash back site.  For almost every online purchase you can earn a percentage of your cash back!

Here is how it works:
1. Sign up for an Ebates account and $5.00 will automatically be credited in your account!
2. Make online purchases by first visiting Ebates and click through their link.  It takes about 48 hours for your cash back to show up in your account
3. Every quarter you will be mailed a rebate check. If the amount is $5.00 or less they will hold the check until the next quarter

While I don't purchase things online very often, when I do it's nice to get a bit of that money back!
