Are you getting money back when you shop online?

Anytime we make a purchase, we check several things first:

Is this item cheaper online or in a store?

If the item is cheaper online, we check which store is best.

Then we look for coupon codes for that store. (we usually just type in the store name and 'coupon code'. This way you get lots of choices. We can usually find at least a percentage off our purchase!

Then we look to see where we can get the biggest rebate at the store we're going to buy from. That's right! When you shop online you can also get a percentage rebate mailed back to you. We get between 2-8% almost everytime we make a purchase online.

Here's my 3 favorites. We also use http://www.bing.com/ - but to be honest, it is more confusing and not the best place to start.

Most of these sites will give you $5.00 just for signing up. You usually need to reach $10.00 before you can get paid. Some of them send you a check at the end of each quarter, some will deposit your money into paypal.
