Want More Savings?

You could even further the savings if you put those gift cards to use by shopping online with the gift cards.  All you need to do is use the gift card for making your purchases AFTER you’ve clicked thru a cash back site.  If you’re having to spend shipping fees – that may not be to your benefit.  A possible way to get around this, is to shop on Free Shipping Day, or meet the minimum purchase requirement to snag the free shipping.

Don’t stop there.  You may even be able to take the savings further.  Check online for any coupon/promo codes to the online store you’re shopping at.
