We are continuing our Back to School Shopping on a Budget series today by featuring one of our best tips for saving money online - using Ebates.com to earn cash-back, find coupon codes & free shipping offers & more on all your online purchases. Ebates.com is a site that offers cash-back on your online purchases at over 1500 online retailers.

The way it works is that Ebates partners with online retailers to send customers to their sites; in return, the retailers give Ebates a commission for sending the customers their way & Ebates then offers you a % of that commission thru cash-back savings. Basically, this is just extra money that you will earn just by going thru Ebates.com anytime you make a purchase online.  If you regularly make purchases online or have any larger items that you need to purchase, this savings can add up quickly. But even for those of you who don’t shop online all that often, I’d encourage you to sign up for an Ebates account and try to use it regularly as the savings will still add up over & it’s just extra money you’re earning on your purchases just by going thru a few simple, extra steps. You might even find that you start thinking about whether to buy that purchase in-store – or go look for it online – taking advantage of cash-back, coupon codes & maybe even FREE shipping to really maximize your savings & make your money stretch further! That’s what I do now – go and look at the items in the store & then search from my phone or when I get home to see if I can get an even better deal online!

Ebates Video Tutorial :

Since we talk about Ebates so frequently on our blog and it’s our favorite cash-back site, we thought we would share a quick 5 minute video with you to show you how simple it is to use & how it works!  I found a cute pair of shoes at Payless yesterday & tried them on, but didn’t buy them. I wanted to see if I could find a coupon online & get cash-back at the same time, so I waited & sure enough, a coupon code came out last night for $10 off your $25 or more purchase at Payless. So, I take you through the process of how I would use Ebates to get an extra 3% cash-back on that purchase, which would make the $26.99 pair of shoes I found – just $16.48 after coupon code, free ship to store & cash-back savings!

Now is a great time to shop online as you can take advantage of a number of great coupon codes available as well as double cash-back from Ebates at a number of retailers.
