<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">According to some research studies, roughly 27 percent of the world’s consumers shop via the Internet. If you are part of the 27% percent, why not save money while shopping online?</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>I LOVE Ebates!</strong> Over the past several years I have received <strong>over $2000 CASH</strong> back from merely clicking on Ebates <em>before</em> purchasing anything online.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ebates lists over 1600 stores in 22 categories. I actually stopped shopping online at Barnes and Noble, because they are no longer affiliated with Ebates.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know the cynics will argue that you only get a small percentage of cash back for each purchase, and that is true, most of the time. However, all of those small percentages have added up to big bucks each quarter for me and thousands of other online shoppers each year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ebates also runs <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=dhKfSYgsxNWU8sqF0pQR2Q%3D%3D" target="_blank"><em>Double Cash Back Deals</em></a>, which are a great incentive to shop through their web page. Currently you can order magazine subscriptions and get 26% cashback on each order.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Drugstore.com is one of my favorite places to shop online; currently they are offering 5% cash back (once in awhile they offer 12% cashback). One of the nice things about this site is that they give you a 6% purchase credit every quarter. They also have a sister site, Beauty.com, which carries all the top-line hair and beauty products including Nars; Frederic Fekkai; Smashbox; Stella; and all the brands that you would find at Sephora.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Guess what, Sephora is also on ebates, so you can purchase your beauty products there and currently receive 4% cash back.</span></div>

I am one of those folks who cannot walk into a Target or Kohl's without buying unnecessary items. When I shop online, I can see exactly before hitting the purchase button how much money I am spending. I then go through my shopping bag and delete the items that were merely impulse purchases. When I am physically in the store, it is difficult for me not to purchase items that have been displayed for impulse buying. I am an advertiser’s dream, so it is safer for my finances for me to stay out of the store and shop online.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>In addition to going through ebates every time I shop online, I always search for promotional codes. It is simple: Just open a new tab and search for promotional codes for the store that you are interested in. This may take a little time, but it is worth it. I always find free shipping codes; percentage off codes; etc. I only shop at Kohls online through ebates, and I am able to find an additional 30% off of any purchase promotional code at least 80% of the time. I do not purchase from Kohl's without a 30% off code. I wait a few days, and I can always get a 30% off code.</strong></span></div>
