Happy Shopping Week, America! This past weekend brought us Black Friday and now Cyber Monday, the two shoppiest days of the year. Here is how to be a smart shopper and spend all your money, but at least you used coupons... right?
Ebates
I'm sure everyone and their mom has told you to use Ebates, but I never really believed them when they said it was such a great idea until I decided to spend all my time online shopping. Ebates is an app that gives you cashback for shopping through their portal. I just started using it last week and I already have earned $10 through their portal, just making purchases I would have made without the portal. Another cool thing about Ebates is that if you are on your computer, it automatically enters all the coupon codes for the store. I ordered online at Walgreens, and it took a bit, but I got 2 coupon codes added to my order. Ebates is a great website to take advantage of when you want to make big purchases and when you want to shop a little. $0.25 you save is an extra quarter you get.
Ibotta
If you still have your parents buy you groceries all the time, this is a great one. Take their grocery receipts and search for the items they bought, and for every item thats in the system, you get a certain amount of cash back from that item. Ibotta is great because in my case, I don't buy any of the stuff I am earning money from. I am literally making profit from the receipts my parents get. Some of the items offer more than $1.00 cash back. It really is great to have the extra cash that you can redeem for gift cards or deposit into your paypal account.
Unidays
Unidays is an app specifically for high school or college students. It gives you access to exclusive coupons towards your orders at various stores. Combining these offers with the ones that will occur this week and for the duration of the Holiday season is a great way to ensure you are getting the best deal possible. Another great thing about Unidays is that you can combine these offers with the cashback you get from Ebates. Getting the code form Unidays and then going through the cashback portal will get you even more savings on the products you want. All you have to do is sign up and provide the school you are attending and the email address associated with the school and viola! Instant savings.
Amazon
An oldie but a goodie, Amazon offers amazing deals on products through their app and website. Amazon is known for its cheap and quick delivery and investing in their Prime services adds even more deals to the list. Amazon is a great website to binge shop on as you can get everything in one-click shopping and checkout in one smooth swing. Prime offers special deals for those that are a member, with a special student rate of $50 a year, it makes it cheaper than your Netflix and your Hulu account. The Prime membership also includes free shipping, sometimes being free two day or same-day shipping, as well as Prime Video and Prime Music.
