Ebates January 2, 2017

I really don't usually rave about things...I really only love a few products (Diet Dr. Pepper...I know, it is so bad!), Dry Idea deodorant, and a few more.

There area  few sites I really like, and one of them is ebates. Ebates acts (here is the technical computer talk) like a portal, to get you to your favorite online shopping sites, and then if you make an online purchase through the website that you got to through ebates, you earn a percentage of your purchase back.  So, for example, if I am buying something Amazon, or Target, I go to Ebates, hit Target, and that brings me to the Target site.  So, if it literally one extra step.

The great thing is, that it is literally free money. You are going to make the online purchase anyway, so why not go through Ebates?  I was very pleasantly surprised before Christmas.  I wanted to buy my daughter a new pair of Uggs, so I went to Ebates, typed in the name "Ugg", and when the site came up, I saw I was going to get 10% of my purchase back, which for me, came to $14 back!  I was thrilled.

It isn't like I am going to Aruba on that $14, but the site sends you a quarterly check (or pays you through paypal....I want to make sure I get the check), and that is it.

On top of that, if you sign up as my referral (as opposed to just signing up yourself because you think it sounds good), you will get $10 after you make your first qualifying purchase of $25 within 90 days, which is really not too hard to do.  I had my friend sign up, and she signed up, made the $25 purchase, got the $10 back (which she felt justified the purchase of the $25 GAP shirt she wanted for New Year's Eve), and said she won't use it again until she needs to make a purchase.

I really think this is kind of a no-brainer.  I don't see anything on the site that raises concerns, and I limited the emails I get from them (I was getting at least one a day before), so it isn't a problem.

Here is my referral code.  If you click on this (you might have to copy and paste it...), it will get you Ebates.  When/if you sign up, it asks if someone referred you.  Tell them Leslie Gallagher sent you!!  Thanks!

Happy New Year!! January 1, 2017..Resolutions....

So, Happy New Year!   I think my first resolution of the New Year will be to start being a better post-er on this blog.  I have really fallen behind.  But, it is late now, and we just got back from our friends who seem to invite us to every lovely party at their house, so we are tired.    So, for now, just Happy New Year!  I am really hoping that 2017 is a good one!!
