Being a SAHM and babysitting during the week, leaving the house during the day is a bit frightful! Over the past year I have gotten really good at searching for the best deals online and saving a ton of money! Amazon.com is a great site to find wonderful deals from household goods, food, baby items, books, shoes and clothes! If you are a prime member you get free shipping on hundreds of items on their website. Each day they have a great deal at a wonderful discount price and ongoing sales all the time. We have also taken advantage of the Subscribe and Save program they have. We get our toilet paper, paper towels (I know we are suppose to be “green” but we still use paper towels…but they’re made from recycled materials!), baby formula, wet wipes, and some of the kids snacks this way. You sign up for what you want, the amount you want and how often you want amazon to ship to your house; you get a discount on the price for being a member of the subscribe and save program and that’s it. You sit back and never have to worry about it again! It’s great!
Another site I have found very useful is Ebates.com. I was a little reluctant at first, but after the first check came to me in the mail I was convinced! We have found tons of new sites to shop from online for items we would normally buy, and buying then through ebates.com is even more profitable because I get money back from my purchase. Last summer we booked our hotel, baseball tickets and zoo tickets through ebates.com and scored a ton of money back on our family vacation. Ebates is now Rakuten. Same savings and cashback just different name!
Between these two sites (and there are a ton more out there!) our Christmas shopping this past year was a profitable one! We were able to buy more this year and save more then ever before! It was great! Please be sure to share with me your favorite money saving sites too!
