Thrifty Thursday - Biggest Ebates Check Yet!

Since I got pregnant I feel like I haven't been doing nearly as much online shopping as I used to so I was shocked when I got this email from Ebates over the weekend with my latest check amount - $204.27! It's my biggest one yet. A bulk of what was on this check was from Christmas shopping. We were so busy over the holidays that I tried to do as much online (and via Ebates) as I could. Here are some of my big cash backs from this check -

Snapfish - $17.92 - I will never order our Christmas cards without Ebates again!
Boden - $6.58 - Had a fairly larger order for maternity clothes (most of the clothes were on sale)
GAP - $13.11 - This was only a $131 bill for Christmas clothes but GAP was having 10% cash back at the time
Drugstore.com - $6.03 - Again a small order only around $50 but thanks to a large cash back percentage I got a good amount back

For those of you new to this blog, this is by far the easiest way to earn FREE money by shopping online. All you have to do is go to Ebates, log in, search for the store you plan on shopping at, click the link and voila you are taken there and all you have to do is shop! Each store has a corresponding percentage of cash back. And the money just adds up. Every quarter Ebates will send you a check and all you have to do is cash it. My next Ebates check will be for over $100! If you haven't already signed up, I definitely recommend that you do. You get $5 just for signing up! Click here to start getting free money!
