How I Made $20.00 In 2 Minutes…
…I have a stubborn insistence on trying out saving methods and websites first before I post them here. There’s too many options that either waste your valuable time or just don’t offer enough return for the effort you’d need to expend. (Editor’s note: and yes, I’m the chump who has wasted her time so that you don’t have to. Just ask The Todd.)
After almost a year of budget blogging here on That Went Well, the easiest cash-back option has to be Ebates. I was a little late to the party on this one, but they made it up to me in a hurry–2 minutes, to be exact. I signed up for Ebates, ($5.00 for new signup, ca-ching!) then went through their link to Old Navy to buy a bunch of summer clearance items for the twins and some school uniform thingies. 10% cash back. ($15.19, ca-ching!) Just like that. So, in two minutes, I made $20.00 and even got free shipping with an Ebates code. I bring this up now because back to school expenses are the third highest expense of the year for families with school-age children. Take a minute to sign up with Ebates here and scroll through their options for cash back, discounts and free-bee shipping.
I’m setting my sights on Drugstore.com next. I’ll get free-bee shipping and a $25.00 gift certificate to Restaurant.com for any purchase of $25.00…which makes this…add the one, carry the four…FREE! Plus, don’t forget the cash rebate of 6% back! That makes this a money-maker. Hurry, this offer expires tonight (7.31)
