July 2009 Archives

If you've poked around Ebates over the last few days, you've probably noticed our new promotion featuring a handful of Back to School sneak peeks from HP. Whether you're in the market for a new PC, laptop, netbook, or printer, we've got a special link that will save you up to $400 if you order before midnight tonight!

For most kids heading off to college or gearing up for their first PC, a simple-yet-sophisticated laptop like the HP DV6T may be in order. It's currently on sale for $630 (that's $150 off the normal price), and will play all your movies, music, and even most games without much fuss at all.

If this ain't your first rodeo, you might want to try wrangling up a HP TouchSmart. It's a light, portable, powerful computer whose screen pivots to be used as a tablet PC -- how cool is that? Better yet, it even comes with a a $200 instant rebate for a limited time!

Ready to bite the bullet? Login to Ebates and use HP Home coupon code SV2132 for an extra $30 off on top of rebates and cash back. Act fast before your time runs out!

While Summer slowly starts to wind it's way down, let's reflect on the trends for a bit. Did you purchase a romper or jumpsuit? And if so, where did you wear it? Were you loving gladiators, or did you say goodbye to them last year? No matter what you oohed and ahhed (or grimaced) over, there's still time to enjoy Summer clothing. The big difference is now it's 40% off at Bloomingdales. From now until August 2nd, you'll enjoy huge savings, without having to search for Bloomingdales coupons. Add to this 3% Cash Back from Ebates, and the Summer heat just became your new best friend.

Always a sucker for a discount, I instantly fell in love with this Jay Godfrey Colorblock Dress. The combination of iris and black makes this sultry for Summer, and appropriate for Fall. Just one of the many great deals at Bloomingdales, I'll save 40% and look amazing for this season and the next!

As I sit down to write this week's installment of Free Shipping Friday, there is one fact that is borderline overwhelming: as today is the last day of the month, and tomorrow is the first, this weekend is rife with free shipping coupons. So many, in fact, that to try to pick the best of the litter would be damn near impossible. So, call it a cop-out if you must, but I can't even begin to try to tackle highlighting my faves of these two days, and then following the first, the list immediately tapers off because, come on, let's be honest - who really schedules a coupon to end on the third of the month? So I give you this link, and I say: peruse at your own leisure, that's where you'll find all the about-to-expire free shipping deals.

Either way, enjoy!

When it's time to buy office supplies, I like to take things to the max. Giant staplers, 10,000 count boxes of post-it-notes, and a paper ream the size of a skyscraper -- there's no reason to compromise when you can go big, I always say. Even though OfficeMax doesn't exclusively stock comically large items, they're still perfect for all your office supplies. With OfficeMax coupons and 3% Cash Back at Ebates, you can go big and earn more than ever before!

How might OfficeMax coupons be good for your soul? Myriad ways, my friend! They've got a host of ergonomic chairs and workstations to keep you comfortable, massive hard drives to give you a piece of mind when storing your files, and enough toner to keep you printing well into the next millennium. Why not stop worrying about your office supplies, and let OfficeMax give you that piece of mind you've been looking for?

Or you could just go out and buy something huge. That's what OfficeMax coupons are for, right?

In another exciting collaboration, Nordstrom has teamed up with Twilight to release a clothing and accessories collection available October 1st. The New Moon Collection has everything a fashion conscious Twilight fan could desire: stylish tops, tunics and accessories all inspired by the best-selling vampire series. As InStyle.com reports, everything in the collection is modestly priced, like this team Edward tee shirt for $32. Be sure to shop through Ebates and you will get 3% cash back and Nordstrom coupons to save money on your must-have items from the collection.

In the meantime, if you need something new in your closet, check out the Nordstrom sale section where summer essentials and even new arrivals in clothing, shoes, and accessories are on sale. I got myself a pair of cute denim shorts and a silk top and saved $100. Or check out the Anniversary sale, but hurry - it ends August 3rd.

If jeans are the foundation to a girl's wardrobe, then faded knees and shrinking inseams have caused mine to be seriously cracked. On the search for shiny new denim, I'm shopping at National Jean Company where I'll get 6% Cash Back on my favorite denim line of all time: J Brand. For years I've been a faithful follower to J Brand because unlike other embellished (read: tacky) denim, J Brand offers clean lines and a great fit. Perfect for work, these jeans take you from the office to happy hour with ease.

As much as I love my skinnies, they don't allow for growth (a necessity for women) so I've opted for a cigarette fit instead. These 814 High Rise Jeans come in a 14 inch leg opening, making them slightly roomier while maintaining a sleek silhouette. The higher rise assures there will be no indecent exposure, and the dark ink color makes them a perfect match to just about everything I own. Talk about a solid foundation!

This is a rarity, folks: to my knowledge, I have neither heard of nor even seen the name of this week's merchant. Generally speaking, I am somewhat familiar with the merchant before I write about them, but I just happened across Kotula's. Now, my life may never be the same. I fear someone's been stalking me for the last year, and has decided to start a website selling all the things I like.

Only at Kotula's can you find a giant 64-ounce flask, a gas-powered margarita mixer, an airgun rifle, and a bench vise all in one place. Plus, as crazy as it may sound - they have off-the-wall products too! I know Kevin, our CEO, was certainly... intrigued by the prospect of the "off-road commode" while I am more partial to the "flair hair". Both are worth finding on the site, trust me.

Plus all these items will earn you 4% Cash Back, and every purchase made at Kotula's is shipped for free!

A little while back, I received an email about Electronics Expo being added to Ebates. I recognized the name, but only insofar as the two words looked good with one another.

But wait... weren't they the place I got something for my old Canon PowerShot a while back? And Indeed I had. I finally remembered picked up a little camera bag that was on sale with an Electronics Expo coupon I had found a while back. Everything had gone just fine; my bag was promptly shipped, it was brand new as advertised, and it came within a week. Really, what more do you need than that?

Now, they're on Ebates, which means you can earn 2% Cash Back on yet another great place to check for low prices on the internet. The more the merrier, I always say! We've got a bunch of coupons too (including a gaggle of dollar-off codes that are good for practically any order), so give 'em a look next time you're in the mood for a deal!

For those of you basking in sunshine and triple-digit temperatures, the thought of shopping fall clothing might be hard to grasp. As the Ebates bloggers have mentioned, San Francisco generally doesn't get a Summer season, so fall fashion comes as a great relief after months of being taunted by warm weather clothes. When Saks started rolling out their best Fall collections, I started to plan for my next wardrobe additions. Seeing what this Fall has to offer now helps me to budget and to think about what I really need, saving me money and from the dreaded impulse buy. To help save on these smart items, I have a Saks coupon for free shipping (code SFASUM9) and 2% Cash Back from Ebates.

This Diane von Furstenberg Cashmere Jacket is perfect for fall. The classic silhouette and high-quality fabric will last forever. And because I can't afford to waste my money on frivolous purchases, I would rather invest in something that will last.

It's because of color's effect on people that hospitals and DMV's are painted soothing blues, and restaurants are filled with warm earth tones. As for me, I've noticed this effect in my kitchen. It took me a while to understand why I lacked the motivation to cook in my own home, but after a recent visit to my mother's it was all too clear. While her kitchen is filled with the warmth of terracotta walls, hanging herbs, and cast iron pans, mine is bare, white, and sterile. One would be more inclined to get a tooth pulled than cook a meal.

Before I lacquer the walls with a color I might regret, starting with eclectic dinnerware is a safer option. This Florence Collection features six plates all hand painted in traditional Majolica style, and at only $29.99, I'll save an average $15 per plate over other retailers. Available at Ginny's Catalog, I'll get 4% Cash Back from Ebates, while adding some much needed life to my kitchen.

Just last week I mentioned how much you can save on flowers with FTD Coupons, but what about those of us out there who don't have a sweet little honeypie to give flowers to? I mean, I'm shy enough that I have trouble talking to new or exciting women, I can't just offer them flowers.

Just as Ebates is able to help folks maintain a healthy relationship, they also can help you earn cash back in the process of finding love. Check out our page on how to Improve Your Life and Earn Cash Back and view the personals section.

Being a self described clothes horse, I am constantly looking for inspiration and new ideas, but with no true Summer in San Francisco to usher in jumpers, skirts, and ultra-cute tanks, my wardrobe hasn't changed since early Spring. Helping me revive my stagnant wardrobe is Bluefly. There I'll find 4% Cash Back from Ebates, and plenty of clothing options to satisfy even the pickiest of shoppers (like me).

If there's one trend I see everywhere in fashion, it's the loose t-shirt. Paired with leggings, or tucked into a pencil skirt, this Summer basic will easily match every piece in my wardrobe, and looks chic when paired with long chain necklaces, or pearls. Or both! As much as I love this look, I don't love spending close to $100, so lucky I found this Jersey Watercolor T-Shirt by newcomer Monrow to satiate my appetite. Priced nearly $40 less, this t-shirt is a funky way to add spice to a bland closet, without breaking the bank!

Considering TV has turned into one giant reality show filled with drama, drunkenness, and things best left in the bedroom, it's no wonder smart stylish women (such as myself) are turning to Disney for a lighthearted change. While I have always been open regarding my love of Hannah Montana, or Wizards of Waverly Place, there are still a few amongst us who secretly TiVo Jonas for fear of ridicule. Here at Ebates we love what you love, and in support of WFD (women for Disney) we're offering $11 Cash Back at Disney Movie Club for first time shoppers.

Aside from sitcoms, Disney Movie Club is home to classics like Sleeping Beauty (my all time favorite) Escape To Witch Mountain, and Mary Poppins to name a few. As part of  Cash Back Bonanza at Ebates, we're highlighting the best ways to earn top cash back. So whether you've been meaning to stock up on The Suite Life On Deck, or if you're looking for a great present, do it with Ebates!

Michelle Obama has become the First Lady of Style as the world watches her polished sense of fashion emerge. Early reports show her signature look is pearls! Michelle even wore Carolee's two-strand pearl necklace in her official White House portrait.

Pearls evoke a timeless elegance that has attracted women for years. Fashion icons like Coco Chanel, Jackie O, and Lady Di shared an affinity for the classic elegance of pearls. Jackie O even popularized wearing faux pearls. Her three-strand faux pearl necklace became a style essential. Carolee created a necklace inspired by the original for women to share some of Jackie's style inspiration.

Carolee offers a variety of hand polished pearls as well as the best of today's fashion trends, mixing pearl with other fashion elements and using unique clasps and colors. Carolee provides women with quality jewelry that they will enjoy for a lifetime, at half the cost of comparable jewelry. At Ebates you'll earn 3% Cash Back on every purchase!

The blogosphere was abuzz after Michelle Obama was photographed at the White House earlier this week sporting what seemed to be a shorter cut, complimenting her fresh-faced, rosy makeup and dressed in an embellished white dress. Despite the speculation that she had actually cut her hair, it has now been confirmed that she had just styled it differently. Which is proof of what a few bobbi pins and some styling product can do to spice up the hair routine for a new look. This is especially key for those of us on a budget and stretching out the time between haircuts.

All you need are some bobbi pins, like these for just $1.49 with 6% Cash Back at Drugstore.com. Make sure to blow dry your hair smooth and finish it off with a shine enhancing styling creme. Depending on the length of your hair, wrap it into a tight bun and secure it with the pins then loosely tuck it under at the nape of the neck.

Sometimes people take the little things in life for granted. The biggest TV and the fastest car might be fun for show, but oftentimes little gadgets have the biggest impact on our lives. Even though these gadgets are simple, two little upgrades to your kitchen could improve your life and earn you cash back in the process!

Milk Frother
Who doesn't love a nice cafe latte in the morning? I love my coffee, but it's often hard to get a good froth going for your favorite drink. Now you can warm up the milk, froth it up with a $8 Milk Frother from Overstock, and add your favorite coffee or espresso. How relaxing!


Digital Weigh Scale
It might not be an essential gadget to everyone, but a proper scale saves you time, money, and tummy-aches by telling you the weight of everything to the nearest gram. A co-worker swears by it for everything from pastries to main courses -- why not spend $25 at Target and improve all your meals too?

It's one thing to spend a hefty amount on clothing for yourself, but it's another to overspend on clothing for babies and kids. Between growth spurts and everyday messes, kids' clothing is more about function than form. The Children's Place offers clothing for the kiddies that's stylish and affordable, and right now they're taking an additional 40% off sale merchandise to prove it. Even without The Children's Place coupons, you'll get the most bang for your buck, and by shopping with Ebates, you'll put 3% Cash Back in your pocket too.

While a lot of different laptop manufacturers have been busy creating their own netbooks, mini-notebooks, or ultra-portable personal computers (UMPC's), Dell's been focusing on keeping it classy. After all, who could look at the computer like the Dell Adamo and not notice its sleek lines and super-thin (0.65") sexy styling? Even though it's not the cheapest option out there, with Dell Home coupons and 2% Cash Back from Ebates, this dynamo of a computer can be yours with significant savings!

The Adamo isn't a computer for everyone, but if you're tired of killing your back while lugging around your ten-pound laptop everywhere you go, it could be the lifesaver you never knew existed. The Adamo is a slender four pounds, and features a spacious 13" screen, 128GB SSD, and 2GB of memory -- not bad specs for such a tiny system!

And if you're not in the mood for Dell Home coupons, we've got other great electronics deals as well. Don't forget to save all you can with Ebates!

A truly unique experience is the shock resulting in the end of a promotional cable bill increase. The worst part is the knowledge that your services have not improved but now cost twice as much. There is no better time to open up your double-the-cost-bill than when a commercial simultaneously comes on the television advertising the same service you have for almost 1/3 of the price. It was in this moment, sometime last month, that I decided to make a change.

For fear of sounding like Andy Rooney, I will end my rant there and offer a solution. In my effort to end my indentured servitude to the cable company empire, I down-graded my service and signed up with Netflix, through Ebates and got $13 Cash Back, which is essentially one month free, plus you get a two-week no obligation free trial. Coupled with cash back, you get over a month of free service from Netflix. Have the DVD's shipped or watch instantly on your television or computer.

It's mid-summer, romance should hopefully be in the air, and nothing says "let me romance you up" quite like flowers. I've been reading on various blogs about women discussing the wildly romantic gestures made by their menfolk who have showered them in flowers. Being both frugal and single, if I'm going to woo any young lady, I sure as heck had better be getting something back in return. Money wise - get your mind out of the gutter!

To assure that I can say I have secure finances, I can use FTD coupons to purchase those blooming beauties that I want to give to a blooming beauty. Most FTD coupons seem to be for 15% off, which when paired with 12% Cash Back from Ebates puts enough cash into my pocket to pay for the first round of cocktails on a first date.

So buy something special to be romantic or just spruce up your tabletop, and make sure you shop at FTD and use FTD coupons to save even more.

If you are one of the millions of Mad Men fans just waiting for the new season to kick off on August 16th, you can make the wait a little easier to manage (I have decided to review the first few seasons on Netflix) by shopping at Banana Republic as they have teamed up with Mad Men to bring you their interpretations of the most fashionable looks from the show. The collection is available for a limited time only, starting today through the season premiere next month. Look out for themed window displays featuring scenes from Mad Men and boasting modern takes on sixties fashion and quintessential looks from all your favorite characters. Shop for timeless silhouettes like chic tie neck blouses, shift-style frocks, super-slimming pencil skirts and dapper suits for the guys. Make sure to shop at Banana Republic through Ebates where you will get 2% Cash Back and access to Banana Republic coupons (like free shipping on orders of $150+ w/ code FREE150). So if you spend week after week lusting for Betty's chic looks, try this Graphic Print Sheath dress that is equal parts sexy as it is refined and appropriate for the office or
out on the town with a Gimlet in hand.

You know it from your grandmother's tea set, but the pattern known as Toile (as seen here in the kitchen of famed Interior Designer Sheila Bridges) has been making a comeback in modern design. Toile refers to a cloth inked with a repeating, usually complex scene, and was originally used in fashion as a way for French pattern makers to perfect a design. The modern approach to Toile pronounced twal, is to couple it with other design movements such as mirrored furniture (also making a comeback) or minimalist decor like that found at CB2, one of Ebates new merchants. Whether you add a few throw pillows, create an accent wall with Toile wallpaper, or opt for new bedding, there are several Ebates merchants that carry Toile, and you'll get cash back with every purchase.

Tighter budgets will love shopping Toile products at Target (4% Cash Back) because their selection ranges from bedding to this Rouleau Dinnerware Set. At just $49.99, these plates make a great addition to any kitchen or dining room, and look kitschy when paired with a modern table. At Ballard Designs you'll get 3% Cash Back on luxurious hand sewn Toile bedding fit for royalty, as well as great deals like fabric starting at just $24. With options for varying budgets and tastes, it's easy to inject Toile into your decor. You'll find plenty of Ebates merchants carrying this trend, and enjoy reaping the rewards of cash back!

Over the last few months, I've slowly been piecing together my audio setup and trying to create something spectacular in my living room. As an oft-mentioned "aspiring audiophile," I'm constantly in search of that hi-fi sound at a lo-fi price, but many folks overlook an important aspect of any high-quality setup: the turntable. While I could go on and on about some fancy $2000 turntable with a $800 stylus, there's no point dwelling on a system that only a Duke could afford. But there's one little addition you can make to your setup to have it sounding great in no time: a pre-amp!

When searching for your pre-amp, it's important to figure out your budget and what you're looking to accomplish. Most home theater receivers don't include a "phono" input anymore, so the pre-amp takes the sweet, sweet music from your turntable and "pre-amplifies it;" adding a little extra "oomph" to the mix. More specifically, it adds the "RIAA curve" that carefully tweaks the highs and lows to more accurately represent the music as it was originally recorded. The Music Hall PA12 Moving Magnet Moving Coil Preamp on sale at J&R is an easy addition for any aspiring audiophile, as it takes traditional RCA inputs from your turntable and boosts it to levels that will make your records sound brighter, warmer, and absolutely awesome.

But the Music Hall PA12 isn't the only option out there! Checkout the Zphono pre-amp on eBay or peruse our other electronics merchants for great deals if you don't buy into the pre-amp hype. Either way, you'll still be earning your Cash Back with Ebates!

Here at Ebates we're in the midst of our Cash Back Bonanza, where we're trying to remind you all of new or different ways to use Ebates to earn cash back like you haven't in the past. It's easy to just remind yourself to log into Ebates when you want to bid at eBay or buy some new clothes at ShopBop, but there are a number of things that we buy every day that people don't realize you can purchase online to earn cash back on.

One such item is tires. While all of us who own a vehicle have to replace tires from time to time, if you're like me, you just go to your nearest tire shop or favorite chain store, and pick up a new tire, or a new set of four, and have them install it while you wait. While this is a perfectly fine way to buy tires, and it makes perfect sense, why not earn cash back on something you'd be buying anyways? See, just last week I noticed that the tires on the ol' Billmobile were getting a little thin, and while one was in really good shape (read: only about four months old) the rest were starting to show more and more signs of wear. I did a little research on our site to make sure Sears offered cash back on tires, and sure enough, they did. So I was quickly able to order four new tires, and use that almost-new one as my new spare!

Being somewhat savvy when it comes to automotive needs and upkeep, I knew which size tire was on my vehicle, and was able to shop that way. If you are unsure, Sears also offers an automated system to help you find the right tires, in which you enter in the make, model, and year of your car, and their tire widget will pick the right size tires for you. Then all you have to do is proceed with your order online as usual, select "install at store" and you not only earn 2% Cash Back, you don't pay shipping, since they're already in-house.

There is one down side: you still pay for labor and installation. Speaking personally, mine was about $75. Still, I earned 2% Cash Back on my $435 tire purchase, which was a sweet little tomato of savings.

What else have you saved money on that most people wouldn't think about when shopping through Ebates?

You're an Ebates member. You shop our merchants and get cash back on all your purchases. You look for coupons and find deals like free shipping, money off, and the like. It's obvious you're savvy, so I'll spare the speech on what you already know. It pays (literally) to shop Ebates.

But do you know just how much it pays? Maybe not.

Being on the West Coast and in the spirit of the frontier, here at Ebates we're having what you would call a cash back bonanza. No, Little Joe and Hoss won't be making a special appearance, and our offices don't resemble the Ponderosa, but the amount of cash back you can earn may cause you to cowboy up. For the next two weeks we're going to highlight the best and most profitable ways to earn cash back. Aside from your normal shopping habits (like I would stop shopping for shoes-ha!), take a moment to browse merchants like DIRECTV, where you'll earn a whopping $40 Cash Back, or PerfectMatch.com where you'll earn 25% Cash Back on initial membership. Even the most seasoned of shoppers may not be aware of how much they can save and earn with Ebates. Consider the next two weeks a refresher course in cash back, and go ahead. Git 'er dun!

Saddle up to the Ebates Cash Back Bonanza! 

You know we just love to obsess about eBay -- it's not exactly a secret! When we're not buying sweet amps, saving money with eBay coupons, or searching for antiquated electronics, us Ebates folks love to just poke around eBay and see what kinds of hidden treasures we can find. But our 2% Cash Back isn't the only thing worth talking about around here. After many years of buying and selling myriad things on eBay, there are a few tips I can share with newcomers.

If I could wrap up my two quick tips in five + one words, it would be "Don't forget to check feedback" and "Bid!" eBay's "Feedback" system is one of the easiest ways to tell if you're dealing with a scummy seller. While you're always the ultimate arbiter, a good general rule is to avoid sellers that have zero feedback or any negative comments over the last few months. That's not to say that any of these merchants are bad, but if you're cautious about your first bid, you should always start with a safe bet.

Once you get used to the way eBay works, you can pay attention to listings and check pictures to make sure a seller is legitimate -- generally speaking, a new seller who's using pictures copied from other auctions sets off a red flag, but you can always contact the seller to figure things out for sure. When you're starting out, the proven "Power Sellers" are a great way to test the waters, but always read the feedback first.

Secondly, don't be afraid to bid! One of the fun features of eBay is that it features "proxy bidding" up to your highest bid amount, so you can make sure you never spend more than you want to for your items. Don't want to spend more than $25 for that vintage dress? Then place $25 as your bid, and stick to it!

In the end, there's no reason to fear eBay if you do your homework. I know that I'm not the only eBay-ing Ebater around these parts, so feel free to share your own eBay tips in the comments. With cash back to be earned on every auction, you can save some serious money with eBay and Ebates!

Even though I can actually cook with a fair degree of competence, I am a downright menace in the kitchen. Since I moved into my apartment, I have owned five cutting boards: some melted, some caught on fire (it is harder than you think to get an 8x6 Bamboo slab engulfed in flames), others were warped in water. Needless to say, my kitchen curse has been a major strain on my wallet. Just the other day, another cutting board bit the dust and I broke my last intact coffee mug in an early morning catastrophe including a tea kettle, a chair, a bag of green tea, and my bare feet. Once again, I was faced with the prospect of needing to replace kitchen items and I knew just where to go. When I shop at Target, through Ebates, I get 4% Cash Back and coupons for sturdy kitchen gear that will withstand even my abuse.

Almost instantly, I found great deal on Epicurean Cutting Boards, now on clearance and just $34.99 (prices vary on size). Made of wood fiber composite laminate and heat resistant up to 350 degrees, I knew it was the right choice. And no one loves a designer collaboration more than me, so I was even more excited to find these Orla Kiely mugs, available in several patterns and just $11.99 for two. I got cash back and scored some goods on sale and I earned free shipping with a Target Coupon!

The shopping trip was a major success and I can only hope that my new kitchen wares survive.

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, but the gap between the sexes is growing closer when it comes to fashion. Although Men's Vogue folded in the economic crisis, other men's magazines such as Details, GQ, and my personal favorite Antenna, are flourishing despite the slow economy, signaling a growing interest in what men wear. I for one love a fashionable man, and advise all of you (newcomers welcome) to head over to Tobi for 2% Cash Back, and 30% off all full priced denim and shoes. Girlfriends take note: there's 30% off for us girls too!

When it comes to shoes, most women think they have men beat, but the truth is men go gaga over footwear. I alone know several men (bf included) who's personal sneaker collection averages around fifty, with most pairs unworn and in the box. While this would please Ms.Carrie Bradshaw herself, I on the other hand can't get over the issue of storage. This craze for "kicks" has lead to books such as Sneaker Freaker, and countless blogs dedicated to exclusive and rare sneakers like the Nike Back to The Future. Unless you're on the hunt for one of the four pairs available, check out other shoes by brands like Clae, Creative Recreation, and Common Projects to name a few. This pair of Leather Achilles Mid Top Sneakers by Common Projects are a more modern approach to casual footwear (giant moon shoes are so two years ago), and look great paired with today's hottest denim. This weekend they're 30% off, so if you're a stylish man (or the gf of a stylish man), shop Tobi for great deals on the latest fashion for men!

These days, people are choosing to wear contact lenses for more than just vision correction reasons. Wearers are able to alter or enhance the color of their eyes with colored or special effects lenses. Newer colors are always being introduced and anyone can purchase colors such as amethyst and sapphire, or opt for a more natural color enhancer. Coupon code: COLORS will save you 15% off any colored contacts at Coastal Contacts until the end of July.

Those who wear contact lenses for vision correction often agree that contact lenses have come a long way in terms of design and benefit, converting more and more glasses wearers. After all, they are lightweight, convenient, virtually unnoticeable, and very comfortable to wear. In addition to colored contacts, the selection at Coastal Contacts is comprehensive - everything from daily disposables to bi-weekly lenses and even extended wear lenses that can be worn continuously up to one month  - covering brands such as Acuvue Advance, Acuvue 2, Focus Night and Day, and Freshlook Colorblends, each offering unique benefits to their users. For instance, Acuvue Oasys lenses (at left) contain Hydraclear, a remarkable moisture rich element that lies throughout the lens creating a soft, silky, comfortable feel.

Whatever your contact lens needs, you can save BIG at Coastal Contacts this month with prices up to 70% off retail and a whopping 7% Cash Back with Ebates. It's as easy as entering a coupon code and taking advantage of numerous free shipping offers.

Whether you consider yourself to be a fashionista, a recessionsita or simply just "into clothes", you have probably hit up Urban Outfitters at some point for their trendy, moderately priced clothing and accessories and home goods (I mean, where else can you buy a fedora, perfectly aged jean cut-offs, and bacon shaped band-aids?). Style.com has reported that there will soon be two more reasons (other than cash back and coupons from Ebates) to check out Urban Outfitters. This fall, teh popular retailer will release affordable collaborative collections with accessories designer Eugina Kim and jewelry designer Annie Costello Brown. Expect to see chic hats and hair pieces from the Eugina Kim collection, called Eek! and fabulous statement necklaces in Costello's line, Clea.

Keep an eye out for the collections and be sure to shop through Ebates and get 2% Cash Back at Urban Outfitters!

It's no surprise Fall fashion reigns supreme over all other trends. Keeping a girl cool during the heat of summer are fantasies of the sound of leaves crunching under her Chloe Tall Shaft Leather Boots, or the feeling of crisp air as it hits the lapels of her Burberry Wool Blend Jacket. It's fantasies like these that make cooler weather not just bearable, but desirable to the legions of fashion devotees such as myself.

Come late August stores will be abuzz with the latest in Fall fashion, but true fashion devotees know that in order to look better than the crowd, you've got to shop before them too. With Summer sales in full effect, paying full price may seem against the grain, however Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is here just in time to guarantee you'll look better while paying less.

There's no argument that life is sweeter when you've got Fall's must-have pieces (as Emma Watson for Burberry shows us) and this year is no exception for yours truly. Done with the boho trend and quite frankly nauseated by the sight of peasant tunics, this year sees me in more simplified, artsy pieces. Key pieces for this look will be black leggings a la Edie Sedgewick, oversized sweaters that reveal the slightest bit of collar bone, and shoes that are more of an artistic statement than a way of sheltering my feet. This pair of Bevan Pumps By Steve Madden are just the thing I'm looking for, and thanks to Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale, they're now $119. Aside from saving 30%, I'll also earn 3% Cash Back just by shopping through Ebates. This is no fantasy, cool savings in the heat of Summer is reality thanks to Nordstrom and Ebates!

You know it, I know it, and most people across the country know it -- yesterday marked the long-long-long awaited release of the sixth installment of the Harry Potter film franchise with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Most folks predict that with this movie, the Potter franchise will out-earn James Bond in total box office revenue, and I know a few employees who came in a little bleary-eyed this morning from going to the midnight showing. One thing you have to love about the release of each new Harry Potter movie is a new wave of Harry Potter merchandise, from wands, robes, and broomsticks to all seven Harry Potter Books as well as tons of supplemental readings.

So where should you go for all your Potter-lovin' needs? Everybody should know by now, both Borders and Barnes & Noble have everything any bibliophile could ever ask for, and they have a ton of other assorted Potter-phenalia for you muggles out there. One merchant that impressed me was Sears: they have almost two hundred different Harry Potter products for sale, and there's also the Scholastic Store - remember, Scholastic is the company that publishes the Harry Potter books, so they have the rights to all sorts of cool Potter stuff. Wherever you choose to shop - make sure you head there through Ebates and earn some cash back on your purchases!

Anyone out there seen the movie yet? I haven't gone, but I'm really excited - comment your thoughts of it (without spoilers!).

In this day and age of coupons and cash back, my talent for finding hot deals has declined ever so slightly. When I want to find a good deal, I usually just go looking for coupons on Ebates' coupon page, but today, I went off in search of more great TigerDirect coupons to add to the queue. That got me thinking -- what else is good at TigerDirect, aside from the 3% Cash Back at Ebates of course?

Well, for starters, TigerDirect has a whole slew of deals on new hard drives. I know I've waxed and waned about my fair share of drives around these parts, but one of the easiest ways to keep a cool and efficient system is to upgrade your hard drives to "green" drives like the Western Digital Caviar Green Drive. Not only does it have a terabyte of space to store hundreds of thousands of pictures, songs, movies and more, but it spins at a leisurely 5900 RPM (rotations per minute) instead of 7200, saving you energy in the process. In the past this meant sacrificing performance, but with today's hard drive technology, speedy 8MB caches, and a faster SATA interface, that's a thing of the past. You'll be saving money and sleeping better, as your computer will be as green as the cash back you'll be earning on this sweet deal!

In the meanwhile, feel free to peruse our 1100+ other merchants for great coupons and cash back. As for me, it's time to update the old computer again!

At this point, my love for Shopbop is really no secret to anyone who reads the blog, knows me at all, or even takes a peek in my closet. Shopbop is the ultimate destination for contemporary (and high end) fashion, offering an unbeatable selection, everyday free shipping, 6% Cash Back and Shopbop coupons from Ebates. On my daily trip to Shopbop, I always make sure to check out the new arrivals, browse look books and editorial features, and check out the burgeoning sale section where items are marked down 30-70% off.

 I am currently obsessed with this Vince Square Cashmere Sweater and this Elizabeth and James tank, both I can wear now, through San Francisco's chilly summer and will be key players in my fall wardrobe. Plus, when I buy these perfect staples, through Ebates, I will get cash back and Shopbop coupons, to save me money and the place I love to shop the most.

Check out all our current Shopbop coupons or find coupons for 1,000+ online stores!

If you're a fan of the words "rustic", "quaint", or "homey", then you should love Country Door. They have a wide array of items from furniture and rugs to outdoor sets and even clothing, all of which capture that perfect comfortable feeling. What I like best is that they are able to capture vintage styling and lines without the vintage price tag or the vintage wear-and-tear.

Another feature that Country Door offers, besides 4% Cash Back of course, is the option to shop for seasonal finds, so whether you are looking to add a little summertime freshness to your home, or you just want to get a real hum-dinger of a head start on your Christmas decor shopping, you can find it all categorized together at Country Door. And while you might not be able to find any Country Door coupons through Ebates, their reasonable prices paired with their cash back offering make Country Door a great find for folks looking to liven up the old homestead on a bit more of a fixed budget.

If the rustic look isn't quite your cup of tea, be sure to check out all of our Home & Garden merchants for just the look you had in mind!

When it comes to cutting edge technology with a sleek style, nobody beats Sony. And for good reason! Sony's helped to engineer some of the finest and most advanced gadgets and technologies of the past fifty years, and when you shop Sony, you know you're getting one of the hottest gadgets out there. Of course they've had their hiccups along the way, but there's something to be said for a high-end Bravia and a PS3 - especially when you can save money on Sony sales with 3% Cash Back at Ebates!

Sony sales aren't hard to come by, but Sony coupons can be a whole 'nother story. Thankfully, Ebates has coupons for high tech Sony DSLRs, Bravia HDTVs, VAIO PC's, and more! With free shipping on every $100 order, you can get any hot new electronic on sale and shipped to your house for no extra cost! Not bad when you're in the market for a giant 52" LCD HDTV, eh?

Save money on Sony sales today at Ebates!

As not only an employee but also a shopper of Ebates, I have grown especially fond of coupons. There is nothing more satisfying than getting a great deal, cash back and then adding in a coupon for additional savings. It is for this exact reason that I always check out Sears, because not only do they have a selection that rivals most merchants (from drill bits to diamonds and everything in between) there are a ton of Sears Coupons and 2% Cash Back from Ebates.

To give you some idea just what I mean when I say that we have a ton of Sears coupons, we currently have over eighty coupons offering savings on outdoor goods, tools, tires, apparel, and more. Find Sears coupons for discounts, special sales, online only offers, and even money off coupons. One of the best offers is an online exclusive for an extra $15-$20 off lawn and garden orders of $150 or more. So you can shop already reduced lawn and garden items and take an extra $20 off and get cash back too!

Shop all the Sears coupons or coupons for all Ebates merchants.

You all know that macys has coupons, you also should all know that you can earn 3% Cash Back from macys when you use your Ebates account. While I know this blog won't apply to everyone, I had such a flashback when I saw this macys coupon that I couldn't help but write about it.

It seems that with coupon code UNIFORM, you can get free shipping on your $50 school uniform purchase at macys. Being one of those young chaps who grew up in grey corduroy and a blue cardigan, moving on to khakis and polos in high school, if there was one thing I dreaded every summer, it was the purchase of new uniform clothes. For a person who loves jeans and t-shirts, I hated the trip to the uniform shop in July, cramming myself back into those "built to last" pants, and having my mom check if the seat was roomy enough. Plus there was the ancient cursed term "husky" that I had to hear every summer...

But I digress. My main point is, if you have a family member who needs uniform clothing for school, use coupon code UNIFORM to get free shipping on the latest back to school (required) styles of $50 or more. And earn 3% Cash Back with your Ebates account!

You know whose crazy deals and cash back savings we haven't talked about in a while? Office Depot! With all kinds of home office necessities and big business supplies, Office Depot coupons are great way for anyone to save on something as simple as a ream of paper to electronics, or as big as a brand spankin' new PC. And the coupons even come with 2% Cash Back at Ebates!

Currently, we have Office Depot coupons for 40% off Office Depot's online clearance sale, and a grand coupon for $30 off all purchases $150 or more! Imagine the amount of money you can save on all your business necessities with 2% Cash Back and $30 off your big purchases? With Ebates and Office Depot, saving money on all your office supplies becomes a sort of work of art!

But don't let the saving stop there! Shop at any one of Ebates' 1100+ merchants to save money and earn cash back at online retailers!

Devoted SATC fans such as myself will recall the episode when Carrie's brand new Manolo's are stolen during a baby shower. When the host scoffs at the cost of replacement, Carrie follows suit and registers at Manolo Blahnik. After all, if thousands of women are entitled to gifts in celebration of weddings, baby showers, etc. Why shouldn't she register in celebration of herself? It's with this mantra that I've decided to splurge and buy myself the ring I've always dreamed of. While normally this kind of venture would be too costly, with the help of HSN coupons and 3% Cash Back, celebrating myself just became manageable.

As stated before, I have a panache for costume jewelry and this Diamond and Ruby Snake Ring combines luxurious gems with funky design. Priced $600 less than appraised value, this ring is just one of the many deals to be found at HSN. With plenty of HSN coupons, spoiling yourself never cost so little. So go ahead, celebrate you!

Although I would never describe myself as someone who likes to camp, there are a few occasions throughout the year where the opportunity to embark on a lively camping trip comes my way. And when I go camping, I need gear to make the adventure as comfortable as possible. To prepare for my next trip, I took a trip to L.L. Bean, through Ebates where I could shop with the promise of cash back and L.L. Bean coupons. It did not take me long to find deals on items I would have never known that I needed but so glad I discovered before hand. Like this reusable Java Drip Coffee Maker for $24.95 with 2% Cash Back.

Not only does it come with reusable cloth filters but it is also compact and lightweight. Regardless of where I wake up, I need a tasty and incredibly strong cup of coffee to get me going. Shop now and get cash back from Ebates and L.L. Bean coupons to save on your camping and outdoor living essentials from affordable pocket GPS to cots.

What can I say about Saks Fifth Avenue that hasn't been said before? Nothing really, but once again I find myself spazzing over the amazing deals to be found there. How amazing? Well until July 13th, sale merchandise is up to 70% off! That means already marked down items are being given an extra discount, plus there's free shipping over $200 with Saks Fifth Avenue coupon JULYSHIP9. Of course I don't need to tell you that by shopping through Ebates you'll get 2% Cash Back, or that you'll always save more with Ebates coupons, but hey, everyone needs a reminder right? Right.

Having recently moved, I came face to face with all the contents of my closet, and was surprised by how many items didn't fit my personality anymore. Wanting something a little more grown up but still fun, I thought this Rory Beca Blouse might do the trick. Originally $234, I bought this top for just $69.95. Now I have more wardrobe options and more cash in my wallet!

Here's a question you probably don't get asked daily: How are your ink levels doing? If you're like most people, they're either close to being empty, or completely out of a single color -- an annoyance all of us have had to deal with at some time. But before you waste your time (and paper!) printing out your child's face in magenta, you can save money just by using 123inkets! With 123inkets coupons and a whopping 16% Cash Back, you'll be printing out picture-perfect photos in no time!

If you remember from our last discussion about ink, picking up a gallon of your printer's "black gold" would cost you over $8,000 a pop -- no wonder that tiny bit of ink in your cartridge can cost you well over $40 elsewhere! With all the cash back and savings you'll get online, you'd be silly to buy your cartridges anywhere else.

So don't waste another dollar on one of the most valuable liquids in the world! Earn crazy cash back with 123inkets coupons today!

You hear us talk all the time about saving money and finding deals with Ebates, but generally we're fairly abstract. The other day I made a purchase that saved me a grand total of about $350 off the retail price. Here's how:

As you may know, I'm a bit of a musician when I'm not blogging, and I decided a while ago that it was time to pick up a new bass amplifier.

I went to Musician's Friend, which always gives me a pretty good idea of what the going retail price is for musical gear. I found out that the amp I was eyeing (the Gallien-Krueger 800rb) was going for about $800. Armed with this knowledge, I headed over to eBay. After doing a quick search, I found the exact same amp, six months old, still with the original packaging for $500. While Musician's Friend offers free shipping on most orders over $49, you usually end up paying for shipping at eBay. Luckily, thanks to the 3% Cash Back I earned at eBay, I was able to pay the shipping with the cash back I earned.

What will you find at eBay?

The fashionista in me adores summer clothing, but the frugalista thinks purchasing clothing meant to be worn for three months is a waste of cash. Luckily for me, Woman Within sells fashionable summer clothing at affordable prices, and until July 13th I'll get a 20% discount off the entire site! Speaking of cash, when I shop through Ebates, I'll earn 3% Cash Back at Woman Within, and find a plethora of Woman Within coupons.

Fully aware that being a woman and having a shoe addiction is nothing new, I am still surprised by my ability to want nearly every pair of shoes I see. In a time of financial crunch, shoes are a less expensive way of reviving my wardrobe, which let's face it, is necessary regardless of the economy. It's for this reason that I was so excited to learn Shoes.com is offering a 15% discount on all purchases with Shoes.com coupon FLAG15. Add to that 8% Cash Back through Ebates, and I'm officially saying goodbye to shopper's remorse.

Having stocked up on sandals and heels, a wedge is something I feel could help resuscitate a dying wardrobe.

Weeding through the abyss of online sales, it is easy to get lost in sensory overload and lose sight of what you were even shopping for in the first place. Shoppers are often lured in by deep discounts only to find off season apparel or impractical home goods. So finding the best sales with the lowest prices on the most coveted items can be a challenge, even for a seasoned shopper.

A great place to start your search for the best online sales is the new and improved Ebates coupons page, where you can find the most exclusive sales, discounts and deals at all the top stores.

If ever there was an easy way to categorize friends, the topic of children is it. Foregoing apples and oranges, most late twenty somethings separate their friends into those with children and those without. With more friends plunging head first into diaperville than ever before, my gift-giving abilities must also take the plunge, and where better to go than The Land of Nod. For a limited time I'll receive 6% Cash Back at The Land Of Nod, and enjoy summer savings of up to 60% discount on items for kids, baby, and mom.

The home's own anti-graffiti task force, every mom is trained to reject drawing on walls. I personally encourage artistic expression, and this Frames Wallpaper is perfect for promoting the budding artist within, but in a legal mom-friendly sort of way. At just $40, this makes a great gift for both mom and kids, and keeps me looking in the know. It's a win-win all around.

While I'm usually the electronics guru around these parts, Bill and I have a shared love of musical instruments that goes above and beyond the circuitry found in most stomp boxes. That's why it's so great that Ebates has Musicians Friend coupons to get the best deals on all kinds of musical doodads, including cymbals, drum trainers, and all the guitar goodies you could dream of. And the best part? Why that's 3% Cash Back at Ebates, of course!

Many know Musicians Friend for their guitar and bass deals, but they excel in another area as well: drums! As a person who's been banging on things since birth, I recently picked a nice little starter drum set from Abes of Maine and needed cymbals to go along with it. Musicians Friend had a great deal on a nice little cymbal upgrade, and it even came with a free stand! You can't beat that!

Musicians Friend coupons aren't the only way to save at Ebates. Check out our other 1100+ stores for other great musical deals with cash back!

Okay, so you've had some BBQ, you've enjoyed some fireworks, maybe you even hit the beach. Now you're sitting in front of your computer, lamenting the weekend coming to an end and looking for great deals. You all know my penchant for free shipping. You also know my penchant for books, and that's why I'm so excited that Barnes & Noble.com has managed to merge the two so perfectly.

What is this great deal I'm talking about? Simple: through the end of the day today, you only need to spend $10 to get free shipping at Barnes & Noble.com. Instead of the "industry standard" of $25 free shipping, you can buy just a book or two, and scramble to find a few more items to bring your total up. So whether you prefer DVDs, books, or music, you can get it all shipped free with a mere $10 purchase, plus earn 4% Cash Back on all purchases. These deals make Barnes & Noble.com coupons almost obsolete!!

Check out the Books & Magazines category at Ebates for more great deals on books and beyond!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're familiar with the catchy Priceline jingle, and have come to know William Shatner as more than Captain Kirk, but as the Priceline Negotiator. In fact writing this guarantees I'll be singing the commercial until my coworkers politely ask me to put a sock in it. Aside from the hilarity of William Shatner slashing prices with judo chops, Priceline also provides it's users with a chance to save on car rentals, hotels, airfare, and vacation packages. Instead of listing each and every available discount, my advice to you is to check out Priceline coupons for great deals and 2% Cash Back.

Long deterred by sites claiming to be the cheapest place to book a flight, I recently made the switch to Priceline and have begun naming my own price. For those of you who consider yourself a control freak, Priceline coupons are an easy way to get the best price without relinquishing control. Good luck negotiators!

My obsession with Lancome started at the age of thirteen, when my mother introduced me to Imanance, one of Lancome's most famous products. Fast forward to today, and I can credit this tinted SPF 15 moisturizer with keeping my face youthful and protected, not to mention darn near wrinkle free. As for cash in my pocket, that I can credit to Ebates. Thanks to Health & Beauty Week, I'll earn a whopping 12% Cash Back at this most beloved beauty destination.

Over the years I've fallen in love with other products such as Effacil, their easy-as-pie eye makeup remover, and Absolue Soleil, a rich body cream complete with SPF 3O. If I ever need a boost in my beauty routine, Definicils High Definition Mascara in aubergine is a favorite of mine as it strengthens my lashes while coating them in rich shades of purple. With free shipping over $50, and loads of free samples with every purchase, it's no wonder this site has become my one-stop beauty shop!

I know it only seems like I'm including deals from early on in the week, but alas, with all the holiday weekend sales, things kind of taper off on the "standout coupon" front by the time Wednesday rolls around.

Sometimes known as a credenza, sometimes known as a buffet, this classic piece of furniture has resurfaced as an essential item in modern design. No longer bound to the dining room, the buffet (as I grew up calling it) has ousted bookcases and tables, as the latest in chic storage. If you want to try this look while staying in budget, shop at Home Decorators Collection for 3% Cash Back and money saving Home Decorators Collection coupons.

The above Wuchow Buffet is a great way to spice up any room. With it's traditional-meets-Asian vibe, matte finish and simple lines, this piece has more of a rustic feel than past options. For added pop, try decorating with a few coffee table books or a bright floral arrangement. Even without Home Decorators Collection coupons, you'll save $50 off the original plus pay a low shipping charge of just $40. Great design at great prices? Only at Ebates!

As mentioned here in the past, I'm not really a "pet person." Sure, I love other peoples' pets, and they tend to love me, but as far as owning a furry friend, I don't have the time, and I'm never at home. So rather than buying a pet that I will not pay enough attention to, I have fish (who tend not to care about how much attention I pay them as long as they get fed) and keep my pet gazing to friends' pets and the internet. That's in part how I became so fascinated by In the Company of Dogs.

What sets this site apart from other pet sites I have seen is that they only focus on dogs, so everything is catered completely to dogs and their owners. Products range from health needs to dog coats and booties, dog owner apparel, and a whole array of home accessories. Best of all, they're all modeled by dogs. Plus, with 6% Cash Back, they offer one of the highest rebates of pet merchants on Ebates. So if you're in the company of dogs, check out In the Company of Dogs here at Ebates!
