Welcome!

Welcome to my page. When I lost my job I decided to start couponing to save our family money. I've compiled a list of sites I love and ways for you too to save and earn money. Use some or all of the tips on this page to get started!! This page is updated periodically but is not a typical blog. I do not post daily or weekly. I'll add to the list when there is new information.

Some links included below are affiliate links that I earn rewards or points for people clicking and joining.

Online Shopping

One of the quickest ways to save money is when I'm shopping online.

Before I buy anything I see if they're part of Ebates – you get cash back for all participating stores. So far I've earned almost $50 back in less than a year. They pay you by check 4 times a year if you have a minimum of $5.01 in your account.


Mr. Rebates is similar to Ebates, but not as good. I only use them if there's a store that isn't offered on Ebates that they have or if the cash back is a higher %. You will not earn your rebate if you a coupon code from another website. Minimum payment amount is $10 and they will send you a check or depsit in your Paypal account.

RetailMeNot has coupon codes for tons of online stores. You can use these codes with your Ebates purchases. Usually I end up getting free shipping or a % off my order – sometimes both. You cannot use discounts codes on purchases with Mr Rebates, it disqualifies the purchase.

I'm sure you all know about Groupon at this point. There's some amazing national deals which I use more than the local deals. We've scored some good stuff on blockbuster and redbox kiosks - $2 for 5 rentals and the body shop - $20 for $45 in stores. You can use Ebates to buy your Groupon and save even more!
