Earning Extra $ When Shopping Online This Week

This year seems to be so messed up with these Black Friday sales. Seems everyone's deals are starting on a different day! I do online shopping though, so maybe that makes a difference. Thankfully I had my list of wanted items written already and did enough research watching for sale announcements that I didn't miss the big item on the list! I guess looking on the bright side I don't have to race to my two websites early Friday morning.

I have been in the market for a carseat for Adam for awhile and decided if I didn't find one before now this would be a must for Black Friday sales. It's something I must have before baby #2 arrives! I decided if I had to pay for a brand spanking new seat I was going to get a good one, so after some reading and asking around decided Diono was my brand. There were a few things that were pretty important to me if I was paying that much for one:

- It had to be able to last the entire rest of Adam's carseat days and on to the next kid
- It had to come apart easily for simplified cleaning
- It needed to be narrow in case I ever need to fit three carseats in a row

Hearing from other moms and reading reviews, I found a couple that met all of these. I got a notification on Monday that the manufacturer had officially authorized the discounted sale of their seats, so I figured I'd better jump on and get mine before they were gone. Kohl's had already started their sale week and happened to have the lowest price for the cheapest one of the two I had narrowed my choices down on, and since I already like Kohl's and know they have great extra savings, I was happy to get it from them.  I'm glad to have found something I'm excited about and at what I believe to be the best deal out there this week. 30% off plus money back in two ways! 
Store Credit earned:     + 45.00 (You get $15 store credit for every $50 spent this week)
And cash back             +  13.16 (8% rebate back from Ebates.com)

Savings of $67 plus an additional $58.16 coming back my way. Yay!


How to Get Extra Rebates (From a variety of retailers) 

If you're an online shopper, you should check into Ebates. They give you a percentage of your purchase back in rebates! And not gift cards like most rebates; they actually mail you a check! Often it's not a huge amount (2-6%), but it does make a big difference and it's no extra effort on your part. I VERY RARELY make purchases from popular stores online but have received over $30 from Ebates. They do rebates for in-store shopping too, but I've never checked into it as I live in a small town with extremely limited options. In case you were wondering, I've been on Ebates for almost a year and still no junk mail, so it's safe! :) They offer rebates for tons of stores and the percentage you earn back varies by week and store. Their overall rebate percentage is up nice and high this week all the way until Cyber Monday, so you have time to benefit if you're planning a shopping spree. When you sign up, you'll get a $10 Walmart gift card sent to you. Here's the link to get started:
