I'm getting paid to shop!
Yes, that's right, I've gotten "paid" to shop ever since I joined Ebates and Big Crumbs. I earn cash back on online purchases at participating retailers. I just buy the stuff I would normally be buying only I log in through their websites and a few weeks after my purchases my account is credited with as much at 6% cash back! And in addition to the cash I make many of the websites offer additional discounts of as much as 20% for those who log in through these sites.
On the Ebates sign up page you can choose a gift card bonus when you sign up. It's for real, I got one for Home Depot when I signed up. It came in the mail a few weeks later and we used it towards stuff for our bathroom makeover.
Just so you know, they neither company has sent me any junk mail and I'm not getting any annoying telemarketer calls...just cash! It's so easy to sign up and make some cash of your own!!!
(FYI- I am not a paid spokes person for either company, this is just my personal endorsement based on my own personal experience, and remember, your mileage may vary.)

This Week's Frugal Wins-Part 1
I did a bit (okay, a lot) of online shopping this month in preparation of our upcoming family vacation. As you might imagine, I love, love, LOVE to score a bargain and I love it even more when I can score multiple discounts on a purchase so this week I was in frugal hog-heaven!
One Stop Plus: I scored this adorable 3 piece set of shorts, capris and hoodie, regularly $59.99, on sale for $44.99. I used a 50% off coupon code (OSPFB9) to score the outfit for a bargain basement price of $22.49! To maximize my savings I used my 1.5% cash back debit card AND logged into One Stop Plus using my Big Crumbs account to score an additional 3.5% cash back. Total cost for each outfit- $21.36.
After it arrived I put it on and wore it around for the day and decided it was THE most comfortable outfit in my wardrobe so I went online and ordered a second one in Dark Taupe. My plan is to wear this during our 4 hour drive-it's comfy enough to stretch out/curl up in and nice enough to get out of the car and go into a casual restaurant in.
Next stop-Macy's: where I picked up these 2 blouses by Elementz:
Originally $44.00, on sale for $17.99. I used the Macy's Mother's Day discount code (MOM) for an additional 20% off to get it for a bargain basement price of only $14.39. I logged in for shopping using my Big Crumbs account for an additional 2.1% cash back and paid with my 1.5% cash back debit card for a final total of $13.87. I think this little gem will look great with my blue jeans and boots for a fun and exciting night on the town!
This blouse was originally $44.00, on sale for $27.99. I used the Macy's Mother's Day discount code for the additional 20% off to bring the cost down to $22.39. With my Big Crumbs 2.1% and cash back debit card 1.5% the final cost on this blouse is only $21.58! I have both black and khaki slacks to wear this little beauty with!
The total original cost of my purchases (2-3piece outfits and 2 blouses) would have been $207.98. After subtracting the sale prices, discounts and cash back, my final cost for everything is only $78.17 saving me a whopping $129.81! That's a 62% savings over the original cost. Not bad for less than a half-hour of work on the computer!
Tomorrow I'll post my Frugal Wins from my daughter's online shopping spree at the Forever 21 and Go Jane websites.

50% Off Alert!
Two things I love are a cute handbag and a great sale and I love it even more when the two come together!
Through a link on The Flylady's FB page I found the fine ladies at Reverse-A-Purse. They've created some cute handbags in a good selection of styles and sizes that have fun, fashionable, reversible covers that you can change up to coordinate with your wardrobe. I know there are other companies out there that have done this, but I fell in love with the style and color combinations they offer on their website.
Reverse-A-Purse is running a 50% Off sale for their FB fans until Midnight EST tonight (Thurs 4/12). The sale applies to everything on the site including their ALREADY DISCOUNTED Deal of the Week! The code you need is FB50. I ordered 2 bags and 4 reversible covers and as soon as they arrive I'll give them a review, snap a bunch of pics and share it all here.

Discount Razors for real!
Have you ever heard of the Dollar Shave Club? Well, I hadn't either until last month. I saw a post on Facebook about how you can get men's (or ladies if you don't mind NOT having a pink handle on your shaving device) razors starting at $1 a month delivered by mail right to your home. I decided to use the Hubster's face as my test subject so I navigated to their website, ordered the $6 a month blades ($6.50 with tax and free shipping) and waited for the mail to arrive.
Once they arrived I handed them off to the Hubster and let him shave at will. He noticed right away that they were of the same quality as the ever so expensive brand he's been buying at the drug store. His Gillette Fusion blades cost him around $15 for 4 blades, which last him a month. So buying blades from the Dollar Shave Club will save us about $10 a month which is a 60% savings over the store brand giving us an annual savings of about $120. Sounds like a nice dinner out once a year or Taco bell twice a month for a year. Just sayin'. ;-)
Check out The Dollar Shave Club and tell me what you think...the video on their site alone is worth the visit!
And as soon as shorts wearing weather begins, I'll be ordering some dollar razors for myself...cuz I don't need no stinkin' pink handle for my razor!

Brain Training
I happened across this great Brain Training site the other day, I thought it would be valuable for my 14 year old son who has autism. It's called Lumosity.com. It offers personalized brain exercises through web-based games to enhance memory, attention and creativity. My son balked at it at first but by the end of the first 15-minute session he was hooked.
