Here is one more site to build a little online bank account. If you do online shopping at Walmart.com, Groupon, Amazon, get some of that money back by using Ebates. Again, there is money in referrals, so thank you for using my link :)

Back in the day, I saved all my labels, box tops, packaging, and then I scouted in newspapers, on grocery store coupons walls, etc looking for rebate forms. I would get books and cute little toys for my daughter, free products, and on occasion a little check in the mail It was a rough hobby, and not very neat. I had a closet full of "trash", just waiting for the right rebate form. I haven't been able to find rebate forms for years.
After adding a smart phone to my life arsenal, I have discovered apps such as Checkout 51, Snap by Groupon, and Saving Star. I have small accounts with all of them, but I find I don't use many of the products they offer rebates on, or I have to buy multiples, which I don't do much of. The other day I was introduced to Ibotta. I love it! It offers more rebate items than the other sites, and more generics. Yesterday I went out for 3 items. Beer, dog food, and milk. I never can decide what beer I want but Blue Moon had a nice rebate, so that was my choice of the day. I was able to get a small rebate back by buying a bag of dog food of my choice as well as a gallon of milk. I have $3.70 in my account just on one small shopping trip. Add coupons, store frequent shopper cards, and sales, this will be a great way for me to save money on my shopping trips. You can check it out using this link. (yes, you make money on referrals also) https://ibotta.com/r/qsugvxx What a great way to earn points for doing all the things you normally do online anyway. You can earn points for watching videos, playing games, doing polls, shopping, searching, and more. With the points that you earn, you can buy into sweepstakes or redeem for gift cards. With work, these points can grow quickly. Can you say "free Christmas gifts"?
http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/cotightwad At the end of the month, do you look at your checkbook and wonder what you spent all your money on? You go through all your shopping trips and realize you have nickle and dimed your account to zero. There is a site called mint.com that can track your shopping habits and shows you what you had spent your hard earned money on. You can link your bank accounts and credit cards and it will give you a break down what went to food, entertainment, utilities, etc. Once you see your habits, you will be able to budget and adjust. It is a great tool for getting your spending under control.
