We do love the rebates and coupons–I finally purchased the USB hard drive I’ve been talking about for two months or so, and wish I had had a coupon.  Ebates.com is an online portal that has rebates, cash back offers and coupons for use on hundreds of online retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Target, Staples, Gap.com, Nordstrom, and Dell.  Rebates and cash back offers vary from 5% to 25%, so on a large purchase, that can make a difference!

For the socially-conscious folks among us, Ebates now has a charitable giving program for rebates.  Being that it’s almost the end of the fiscal year, this might be a good way to make up the charitable giving we’ve all put off for the entire year.  It’s money you would have spent anyway, so it won’t be missed.
