New sales. New coupons. New cash back. Shop Ebates New Merchants!

I will expose my naivete here for a moment and tell you, Ebates Blog reader, that until New Merchant Week, I had never heard of Lenox.com. Lured by the promise of 8% Cash Back from Ebates during New Merchant Week and Lenox.com coupons, I took a trip to the site and was amazed by the section of tableware and gifts at great prices. They have crystal, table linens, flatware, and much more.

Not really being the type to buy things for the home on a regular basis, I was more inclined to browse the gift section. With weddings, graduations, and baby showers on my calendar, I got great gifts and saved money with cash back from Ebates! My best friend is pregnant and due in July, and instead of a "Made in San Francisco" onesie for the tot, I found this baby feeding set that will be much more celebratory. Plus, it's on sale for $29, marked down from $58. If I spend $75 or more, I can qualify for free shipping too, so I will pick up a few more gifts and get more cash back and save on shipping!

One thing that deters me from online shopping is the fact that I'm impatient and hate waiting for packages to arrive. At the same time, I hate letting "free money" with cash back from Ebates go to waste! There are several stores on Ebates where you can get the best of both worlds.

Shortly before Christmas and the arrival of my second child, I was in search of a new camera. Being the frugal shopper that I am, I wanted to find the best value. Aside from product reviews and ratings, what I was looking for were discount codes, free shipping offers, gift with purchases, rebates, and (of course) the highest percentage of cash back through Ebates.

I settled on a camera that I found at Best Buy that was on sale and came with a free memory card. Best Buy only has 1% Cash Back, but because Best Buy offers in-store pickup I was able to purchase it online through Ebates and have it in my hot little hand the very same day. I didn't have to pay shipping and I didn't have to wait anxiously for my package to arrive, yet I still earned cash back.

For in-store pickup at Best Buy just follow these easy steps:

1. Place your item in your cart and click the "Pick Up" button (this button is selectable only for products with store pickup availability).

2. Click "Select Store."

3. Enter your ZIP code or city/state and click "Find Nearest Stores."

4. Click "Select" next to the store with the item in stock where you'd like to pick up your purchase.

5. After you get through checkout, wait to receive two e-mails from Best Buy:

Order confirmation e-mail -- Verifies they've received your store pickup order.

Store pickup notification e-mail -- Confirms that your order is in stock and available for pickup. It will also walk you through the steps you'll take when you get to the store.

(This e-mail arrives within 45 minutes on average during store hours.)

There are four stores on Ebates that offer in-store pickup: Best Buy, Home Depot, Walmart, and The Container Store.

The next time you are shopping for a big ticket item like a new dishwasher or a lawnmower, don't forget about in-store pick up, and remember to shop with Ebates! Don't lose out on all that cash back!

So, Ebates shoppers, we meet again...The month is winding down very quickly, and there are a ton of great free shipping coupons to find all over Ebates right now. I'll try to be concise, but as always you can click on Max Cash or the Free Shipping Van for all the latest and best! Also, I am excited to mention that we have a guest blog on tap tomorrow featuring Holly from Mommies with Cents - she's got a great blog, and we're pleased as can be to have her helping out as a guest blogger here at Ebates!

Keeping up to date on the hottest shoe trends while keeping ample cash in my bank account takes two things; cash back, and DSW. As part of Ebates New Merchant Week, we're offering extra cash back on our latest and greatest merchants. How great? Well let's just say that aside from DSW coupons, you'll also receive 6% Cash Back at DSW.

As an extra bonus, when I use DSW coupon code MYSHIP, I'll receive free shipping on orders over $29. See? I told you DSW was great.

In order to prepare for New Merchant Week at Ebates, I took some time to explore the new kids on the block. When it was time to check out Sally Beauty Supply, I instantly remembered a traumatic trip to Sally after I decided blue streaks in my hair would be attractive. Not only were they hideously placed on my head, but the dye was the worst shade of electric blue. Despite my foolish decision, my mom saved me with a trip to Sally where we could get the supplies to put me back to normal. These days, my beauty faux-pas are less drastic but still occur nonetheless. Instead of going to Sally Beauty Supply, I can get everything I need with 8% Cash Back from Ebates and Sally Beauty Coupons. This could be helpful especially if you make a big beauty mistake (lightening eyebrows) and refuse to leave the house.

Get free shipping on orders of $60+ with no coupon code necessary. So, procure your beauty supplies fast and for free while and enjoying extra cash back at Sally Beauty Supply!

We all know Carlos Santana as one of the greatest guitarists of the past thirty years. Most of us have heard some of his music somewhere before. But apparently he's playing a new tune, as the creative mind behind Carlos Santana Shoes.

As one would suspect, knowing Santana and his commitment to the community, a part of all proceeds will go to the Milagro Foundation, which Santana helped found. The foundation makes grants to community based organizations around the world working with children in the areas of the arts, education, and health. 

Carlos Santana Shoes provides you with a unique opportunity: you can quench your need to shop for fabulous shoes at a reasonable price, you can know that part of your money is going to a good cause, and you can put 5% Cash Back into your pocket with every purchase. It's a situation that everyone can feel good about.

Check out our other Shoe Merchants if you want step out in style!

Who loves shoes? I do, but not obsessively like some. I'm a man that has a couple of pairs at most, because I don't need think about more than "blue" or "black" in the morning. I like a shoe that lasts a good long while, without much maintenance or fuss in-between, and lately I've really been digging New Balance. Thankfully, we've just added NB Web Express to Ebates and now everyone can get New Balance coupons and 3% Cash Back on all New Balance purchases! Success!

New Balance shoes aren't just great for everyday comfort or athletics - they're socially conscious as well. While most big name shoe companies outsource all their work to overseas sweatshops, New Balance shoes come from the US and the UK. While it may not make the biggest difference to some, I try to opt for the eco-friendly (and least exploitative) choice when I can - especially when that choice means awesome shoes and cash back.

Just don't forget your New Balance Cash Back - only at Ebates!

Plus, when I spend $50, I can get a beach tote filled with a full size SPF lip balm and eight samples for just $22.50!

Knowledge is power - especially when it comes to managing your hard-earned dollars. Sure, you can go to the library and check out gobs of information on how to live frugally for free. But some frugal reads are well worth owning. These are great resources that you can turn to again and again.

Magazines

No time? Maybe you'd do better with a magazine. Magazines like Taste of Home, Consumer Reports and Kiplinger'sPersonal Finance offer articles that can help you save money. Order All You Magazine and it will pay for itself in coupons! Shop Magazines.com via Ebates and you'll earn $10 cash back when you spend $22 or more on these savvy reads.

Hello again, here we are again. Sorry I missed you all last week, but I was out of the office most of the week taking care of things, so I kind of left you in the lurch for finding your own free shipping deals.

As you know, this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, and Ebates has some merchants who are offering Increased Cash Back for our Memorial Day Sales.

True story: I was out with some London-born transplants the other day, and one of my friends said that a Ben Sherman shirt was one of four criteria he had for spotting authentic Brits. This led to a lengthy discussion of the "Ben Sherman Look" and the designer's connection to the UK music scene. The one thing I was able to add to the conversation, however, was that Ben Sherman is one of the newest merchants on Ebates, now offering 3% Cash Back on all purchases.

And while we don't have any Ben Sherman coupons yet, you might not need one -- through May 25th, save 25% on your entire purchase. The 25% discount is automatically deducted at checkout. You can also get discounts on Ben Sherman products both from their site as well as a handful of other online retailers at Ebates who also offer cash back on your purchases.

With Memorial Day Weekend just around the corner, people across the country are gearing up for Summer by cleaning off their grill, checking up on their air conditioners, and stocking up on ice cold lemonade. Personally speaking, I am most looking forward to the chance to put my sweatshirt back in the closet for a while and start wearing some lightweight button-down shirts. 

As I have said in previous posts, I am a big fan of western-style shirts, and I have already made note of a few new ones that I'm looking to pick up this coming summer. With that out of the way, I am eying something a little simpler, a more basic yet classic looking shirt. The best one I've found thus far, it should come as no surprise, has come from Old Navy, and it has the obvious name The Men's Classic Shirt. Re-checking my criteria: men's? check. Classic? check. Shirt? check-mate!! Best of all, these shirts are currently 25% off the regular retail price.

So if you are looking to spruce up your summer wardrobe (or if you ladies are seeking something new for your fella) look no further than the timeless look of a nice warm weather shirt. And if you're looking to earn 1% Cash Back at Old Navy, look no further than Ebates.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we love finding deals on eBay. Sure, it's great for finding all kinds of antiquated tech gear or archaic engagement rings - but what about those eBay coupons? We all love finding name brand coupons for online retailers, but the best deal on eBay is undoubtedly the 3% Cash Back from Ebates.

Truth be told, we don't have any special eBay coupons aside from everyday Free Shipping deals. Sorry to break it to you, but they don't currently exist. Even though you can't get a voucher for 10% off or free shipping on any item just yet, the second we do find a coupon you'll be sure to know about it. What does exist, however, are the piles of cash back you'll soon be raking in just by using eBay and Ebates! Ebates cash back is the closest thing you can find to eBay coupons - how else can you earn money with every purchase you make?

So if you've got some purchases to make, do yourself a favor and earn 3% Cash Back. With eBay and Ebates, you'll always be getting the lowest prices you can find online!

Since I will be dusting off my mortar board next Saturday, I've had a few people ask me what I want for a graduation gift this year. Thanks to my being gainfully employed and a picky individual when it comes to my possessions, I don't want anything other than some gift cards.

What most people forget, however, is that here at Ebates, there are a handful of merchants who offer cash back on gift cards, so you are really earning money on money. It's not common, and if you don't see the store you're searching for in the list on the Ebates Gift Card Page, then chances are that merchant does not offer Cash Back on gift cards. Still, we do have a number of merchants who are willing to do it, so it's a great chance to give someone a gift that won't get exchanged and will earn you some cash back!

So it's almost summer time, folks, and that means it's time to wear less clothes. While some of us (yours truly included) should never really wear less clothes, even I have to have a bathing suit for those rare days when I can go to the beach with anything less than a sweatshirt on. Considering that I haven't worn a swimsuit in the last five years, let alone bought one, I'm long overdue for some new board shorts or something, and it is my lucky day, because Ebates just kicked off a week of increased cash back on all Lingerie and Swimwear.

Being a single and unattached hetero male, the lingerie sale doesn't help me all that much, but I tell ya, I'm just giddy over the thought of saving money on some new swimwear. You ladies have your pick of six different merchants to find some new underthings, but it looks like Sears is my destination for what I need. So check out the Lingerie and Swimwear page where you can wear less while saving more!

It has come to my attention that my wardrobe lacks two fundamental basics; leggings and lingerie. The two L's as I call them are critical in preventing wardrobe meltdown, so in the spirit of Swimwear and Lingerie Week at Ebates, I started perusing these two categories.

Now that I feel fresh and renewed, it's time to work on my other melting point; swimwear.

Over the past few months, I've given aspiring audiophiles myriad suggestions in regards to sweet equipment that will anybody's ears tingle with discount delight. Today, I offer up one of the missing pieces of the puzzle: a nice, entry-level audiophile receiver on sale. If you're looking for a little something to go with your record player, why not give the Harman Kardon HK-3490 a shot? With some J&R coupons to go along with your 3% cash back at Ebates, you'll be getting your pants blown off by quality sound in no time!

The HK-3490 may not be the best choice at J&R for those looking to power a 7.1 sound system, as it's only a simple stereo setup. However, it pushes an impressive 120 watts out of each of its single channels, resulting in a full bodied sound that will floor almost any other multi-channel set under $500. Plus, it has a phono input for all your record playing needs - which have been steadily coming back since CDs bit the dust about two years back. Grab it while it's $200 off with cash back!

With all that said, it doesn't matter if you're not saving money with some coupons, right? Grab those J&R coupons and start earning loads of Cash Back with Ebates - as an aspiring audiophile, you've gotta save money wherever you can!

I fear you might have missed the word about Blu-Ray. Fortunately for you, I have two bits of good news! 

First - if you are indeed looking for HD DVD Sales, you can probably find some HD DVDs still on eBay, since that's where everyone should go to find pretty much everything.  And when you're getting something at a used price with 3% Cash Back, it's as good as a sale.

Second - if you are looking for Blu-Ray stuff on sale, the HBO Store currently has great deals on all sorts of Blu-Ray editions of their famous shows and miniseries. Just cruise on over there, use this coupon for 15% off any order plus 3% Cash Back.

So even if you're still feeling a little down about the whole Blu-Ray format thing, you can take some solace in the fact that now HD DVD Sales are more plentiful, as the video discs are now the abandoned format.

On Wednesday, I mentioned that I was on shopping diet that had just ended with, for lack of a better term, a binge. And because I saved money from shopping through Ebates with cash back and an exclusive coupon code, I did not feel any guilt! Riding the guilt-less shopping wave, I thought there was no better time to get a few more things at Sephora while they have 8% Cash Back and coupons.

Just as fast as I could click on the Sephora coupon (Get Josie Maran Essentials Green-On-The-Go Kit, a $98 Value, just $48) the item was in my cart. I really like to get acquainted with a new makeup brand or new products with an "on-the-go" kit because I do not have to commit to buying full-size products and I can try a range of the product line. Not to mention, the trial sizes are good for traveling (hence "on the go") and are a range of Josie Maran Beauty best-sellers, so it takes the guess work out of deciding on which item to buy. Plus, I save $50 get cash back at Sephora through Ebates and free samples with every order!

Have you ever wanted to give drums a try, but can't shake the feeling that you'd be evicted for even setting up a set in your apartment or home?  Me too. Maybe I'm an discount oddball that loves J&R Coupons, but I absolutely cannot stop myself from tapping out a beat on a counter, a wall, with pencils, or just in my head at all times - I just can't stop the beat! For that very reason, you just might want to give a nice little sale drum machine/sampler like the Roland SP-404 a try - on sale right now with 3% Cash Back from Ebates.

For those in the know the Roland SP-404 is much more than a simple drum machine - it's a sampler that lets you create your own music from a variety of sources. Just plug in your favorite record or iPod into the tiny machine, and you can sample your favorite sound and add effects to make an entirely new sound. It may not be as fun as physically pounding on a snare drum, but you can create your own music just the same!

Even if drums and samplers aren't your cup of tea, you can find great stuff with J&R coupons and cash back with Ebates. Check 'em out yourself - you know you just can't stop the beat!

Mother's day is just days away and I will shamefully admit that I have not yet procured a gift to celebrate the most important woman in my life. Because I have waited longer than I should have to get her an appropriate gift, I thought I would have to send an IOU or the dreaded "I will give you a gift when I see you." Quickly I learned that all hope for a gift was not lost when I got on to Ebates and checked out deals from 1-800 Flowers and Teleflora, both offering increased cash back for our Mother's Day Promotion.


In addition to increased cash back, they both have exclusive deals and coupons to make getting the perfect flowers at the perfect price the easiest decision I have made all day.
