For your retail shopping, sites such as ebates.com and online malls can save you money by giving you cash back on your purchases. These sites direct you to the product or stores you want and for that they get a commission, which they use to pass cash back to you. There are no forms, points to redeem or fees. You get top quality, name brands at discount prices plus a percentage of cash back.

Shopping online is supposed to be easy and cheap. Easy because you can get almost anything you could possibly want delivered to your doorstep without leaving your desk and cheap because most online stores have such huge inventory they can sell it at discounts. Now, websites are there that save you the trouble of shopping around. They look for the best deals for you and when you inquire about a product, they send you to the right place. If you make a purchase because of that referral, they get a commission.

There are also hundreds of coupons available for 15% to 25% discounts on first purchases from top companies such as eBay, JCPenney, Macys, Nordstrom, Sears, Walmart and Dell Home. Your spending power can go much farther on these shopping sites. There is no reason to ever pay the retail price again. You will also find free gifts, limited time offers, sales, free shipping and money off coupons. You can even choose coupons according to the item you want to buy. For example, there are clothing or travel coupons, electronics, games, toys and food coupons.

In the clothing category you can have the latest trends for less. Some of the designs from Project Runway are available for ebate.com members at affordable prices and with 3.5% cash back included. When you see a look that suits you, you will be able to afford it. And what about the health and beauty products you would like to have but can’t afford because in department stores or even discount drug stores they are always very expensive. At drugstore.com you will find the top line beauty products at discount prices, sometimes as much as 30% off retail price and with a cash back included.

For those of you who prefer to give your purchasing power to green companies, you can also have great deals and cash back.
