Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer
• Internet Access
• Credit Card

1. The first website I visit when I want to buy something online is MySimon.com. Enter the item you are looking for and the site will list price comparisons and the stores.
2. The next website I visit is BigCrumbs. This is where you get rebates when you shop. This site has the highest paid rebates. Register first. Then check to see if the online store you are planning to use is listed. Click on the store's link and shop to your heart's desire. You must link through BigCrumbs when you make your purchase for your rebate to qualify. You can even use this to get rebates when you shop on eBay! Your rebates are deposited monthly into your PayPal account.
3. If the online store is not available on BigCrumbs, then head on over to Ebates.com. This is also a rebate site. They will send a check out to you (or you can set it up to deposit into your PayPal account) every 3 months if you have a minimum of $5 in rebates. If you don't, it will rollover until you do. They also list coupons that are available. You do have to click on the link for the store from Ebates website to qualify for the rebate. Be sure to use the same email address when shopping that you used to register on Ebates with.
4. Finally, this is THE VERY BEST coupon site for online shopping. Retailmenot.com. Check it out before you pay for your items. Use coupon codes to save money, get free shipping, etc. Tried and true by online shoppers!
