If you shop online at all then you do not want to miss out on another great source to save money- Cash Back rebates. There are many sites out there that will give you up to 30% cash back just by shopping online through their site. You would do your shopping as normal but just make sure to click on the store through the rebate site to receive cash back on your purchase. There are no fees to sign up to the programs or forms to fill out to receive your rebate.
One source to look into on this matter is your bank. I have signed up through Bank Of America for their Add it Up program. National City Bank also offers a point program. You earn points from using your debt card that you can redeem for gift cards. If you use your debt card a lot, the points can add up very quickly.
Another source to receive rebates is through independent rebate sites. Some of my favorites are:
ExtraBux
Ebates: Get $5 just for signing up.
Mr. Rebates: Get $5 just for signing up.
Cashbaq: Get $5 just for signing up.
ShopAtHome: Get $5 just for signing up.

I have signed up for all the sites. Then before I purchase anything online I check them all to see who is offering the best percentage back. Make sure to check for discount codes also to add more savings to your purchase.
Here is an example of my latest purchase:
I wanted to buy an ornament at Lenox.com from their Christmas in July sale. I checked all the rebate sites. Most of them were offering a 5% cash back rebate. However extrabux was offering 8%. So I clicked through to Lenox from extrabux.com, entered my code for free shipping ($4.75 savings) and will receive 8% cash back ($1.44). Just by doing a little bit of homework I have saved a total of $6.19 on an $18 purchase.
By spending a little bit of time to check of promotioal codes and cash back rebates before you shop online you will be able to save quite a bit of money. To make things even easier for you, most of these rebate sites list all the available discount codes for you. So next time you are about to make an online purchase make sure to see how much money you can get back through any of these rebate sites.
