Just in time for Christmas!

I just learned about a website where you can make money back from your online purchases. It is Shop at Home. It is a "rebate" site. When are going to buy something online, you just link through their site to the website you are looking for and you will get a certain percent of your order back. I just bought Mike some Levis from Sears. I clicked on the Shop at Home link and typed in Sears. It showed a 2% rebate. I spent $60, so I will be credited $1.20. It might not sound like much, but by the time I do all my Christmas shopping, I am sure it will all add up. Plus you get a $5 bonus the first time you buy something through the website. So actually I got $6.20. The different stores all have their own rebate amount which is between 1 and 30%. It is free to join and you can still use discount codes. The only difference is you need to click their link before you check out to get credit for the rebate. The link to sign up is on the left side of my blog. Here are a few of the rebates:
Avon 6%
Aeropostale 3%
American Greeting 20%
ITunes 3%
Dell 2%
Sirius Radio 6%
Zappos Shoes 5%
Children's Place 3%
Restaurant.com 15%
Gap 3.5%
Victoria's Secret 2%
Vermont Teddy Bear 8%
BestBuy 1%

Check it out, if you are buying something anyway, you might as well save a little extra. You can even download a program that will remind you to use their site if you are buying something from one of the participating sites. I will keep you posted on my savings and please share yours too!

Sorry it has been so long!

Sorry it has been a week since I have posted, but I have been working on some new things to help everyone out. I met with a couple of Webmasters last night to discuss making a real website! It is going to take a lot of work, but I am looking forward to the new project.

I will better be able to teach people how to save money and make the site interactive so everyone can participate and share their great deals, ask questions and learn from one another. If anyone has ideas of what they think they want to see on my website let me know. Feel free to email me .

I did add a new feature here which will be on the new site. Scroll down and you will see a link to Coupons.Inc. You can look at the new coupons available right from my site (or for now the blog) and print from here rather than having to go look for the coupons.

I have a lot of great ideas I think everyone will like, so please stick with me as we develop something new and FUN! Look at the coupons below for starters. It is a new set up the company is starting. We are one of the few to get to try it out. If you do not want to print all the coupons, click on the arrow to see the coupons first. Then it will give you a list to pick and choose. I know it is something new and different, but give it a try and let me know what you think.

I do have a couple things to share:

Save $1.50 and $1 on Colgate toothpaste, $1 on Softsoap

Sign up at Wendy’s for coupons. You will get a $1 off coupon within a week and special promotions.

Sorry the tip about double coupons at KMart not working out this week, but I did hear they had such an outcry regarding this week's deal that they are planning to do a NATIONWIDE DOUBLE COUPON deal for everyone starting in the next week or two. Keep your coupons ready!

Thanks again to all of you for your support!
