The bug release in nearly upon us, and it seems 1920s fever is starting to pervade even more stores. While I have mentioned ModCloth's whimsical pics in the past, they seem to be embracing the Jazz Age look with vigor.
The blazer makes a glamorous, contrasted statement. This hairpiece would look lovely with a nightime ensemble or to dress up a more casual look. The pastel collar necklace is great because it is on trend yet pay homage to the Gatsby-look. This embelished dress would look great at any garden party. Check out all the great ModCloth offerings with 3.5% Cash Back!

With February flying by, Spring is on the horizon. I am slowly packing away my heaviest coats and getting my wardrobe geared up for the Spring. While pastels aren't breaking any molds for the springtime, it is a really fun trend that will warm up your wardrobe with just a couple of pieces.
1. This Trina Turk blouse embraces TWO trends: pastel AND peplum
2. This sherbet colored cardigan may not be the most versatile piece but it is certainly on trend
3. This chambray tunic certainly looks comfortable, and the pastel blue is a more toned down take on a fun trend
4. These minty stripes are a playful take on this blouse
5. Of all my pastel picks, this might be the most intrinsically Spring-y pick. Wouldn't this skirt look perfect at an Easter picnic?
6. White denim is a bold move, but the weather is warmer and it will perfectly compliment any other piece in your wardrobe

Here at FTD, "Deck the Halls" is more than just a favorite Christmas carol. As you might imagine, Christmas starts earlier for us than it does for most people. And it's not unusual to hear a chorus of "fa-la-la-la-la..." in July as our team plans, designs and shops the world for new, original and wonderful flowers, plants, and gifts.
Our flowers, tasty treats, gift baskets and fine jewelry make wonderful presents for holiday gifting. And we're hearing that our holiday decor−the wreaths, poinsettias, mini-trees and centerpieces −are among the gifts that people like getting best.
While our focus is always on bringing our customers a wide choice of terrific design when it comes to gift-able flowers, we still make sure that you'll find a range of exciting décor gift options from the adorably affordable (like our Spread the Joy Mini Rose plant that starts at $19.99) to the lavishly extravagant (like the Midnight's Calling Luxury Calla Lily Bouquet in Baccarat® Crystal Vase that starts at $1,350) and all prices in between.
Our holiday-themed table centerpieces always make a warmly welcomed host gift during this most social of seasons. They can transform simple family meals into holiday feasts and several, like The FTD® Celebrations of the Season™ Centerpiece, come with their own candleholder and candles to make the occasion even more special. The FTD® Norman Rockwell™ Centerpiece incorporates a keepsake Santa sculpture that your lucky recipient is sure to treasure for many years to come.
Since poinsettia plants top our list of the season's favorites, we firmly believe that it's impossible to have too many. You'll find poinsettias in a variety of sizes and in a choice of containers to make an impressive gift and a dramatic display when lined up on a fireplace mantel or even decorating the individual steps of a staircase.
And take a look at the many wreaths that make superb and imaginative gifts, like the Season's Snowfall Dried and Preserved Holiday Wreath that can be re-used for many more Christmas seasons to come. There's no nicer way to welcome friends and family this time of year, whether it's dressing up a front door, greeting guests in an entryway or hung over the fireplace.
And if you're looking for a way to decorate a child's room or to cheer up a friend who won't be making it home for the holiday this year, consider ordering the Lights of Love Rosemary or The FTD® Merry Celebrations Holiday Tree by Better Homes and Gardens® Christmas Tree.
This Christmas season is particularly exciting for us, as we open six brand new stores on FTD. People are already talking about the expanded offerings and ease of ordering in our new Sweet Shop, Gift Basket Shop, Luxury Collection, Plant Shop, Jewelry Boutique and College Roses Store. Our goal is to make FTD.com a one-stop shopping experience for holiday décor and all gifts so you'll find an extraordinary selection of holiday-themed flower arrangements and plants that can deck your halls and all the halls of friends and family with color, fragrance and seasonal spirit. We look forward to your visiting soon.
Most bouquets, arrangements, mini-trees, wreaths and centerpieces can be delivered the same day or next day. We look forward to your exploring the wider selection of holiday gifts at the new shops of FTD. Put FTD to work on your holiday "to do" list, so you can relax and fully enjoy your most beautiful Christmas ever.

While Ikea appears to captivate those looking to spend minimal on furniture, Overstock must be considered: they offer several comfy chairs as low as $150 (the one pictured above is just around $200). Dinnerware? Yup. Flatware? Got a set for just around $50. Not will you find great savings, but you will earn 5.0% Cash Back :) what are your secrets for budget decor?

Hi there, it's Kristin from BonBon Rose Girls! Has everyone gotten a jump on their fall shopping? All the fabulous fall trends are making it difficult for me to STOP shopping. Haha! So, I'm definitely taking advantage of any savings that I can right now. I'm loving LOFT's fall offerings and the fact that I can earn 3% cash back with Ebates certainly makes this deal lovin' girl smile! I could easily style an entire fall look with LOFT designs. In fact...why don't I?!?
A fall trend that has forever been a favorite of mine is sparkle. I just love LOFT's Foil Print 3/4 Sleeve Sweater (4). I'm all about rockin' sparkle during the daytime! And this piece is a perfect companion for colored denim (1). I would love to add a pair of snakeskin heels (2) and a bit of glitzy arm candy (3) for the perfect finishing touches to my LOFT look...
So, there you have it...A look rockin' some of the hottest fall trends, sparkle, colored denim and snakeskin...Who's ready to head to LOFT? I thought you would be!

The air is beginning to have a crisp edge in the mornings which can only mean that Fall is well on it's way! We love summer and the light beauty products we can use, but there's just something about the beginning of Fall that we adore. The air is warm enough to still wear sandals but our tans are starting to fade. These are the makeup and beauty products that transition us from those hot summer days to cool Fall evenings.
1. Lancome Oscillation Mascara: The description calls it a "power mascara" and I couldn't agree more. It might be a little pricier than mascara without the vibration, but there goes all your power and definition. I can't go back now, it's that good.
2. Big Sexy Hair Powder Play: Similar to a root lifter, this bad boy makes my hair big and sexy, how ironic! I can pump a ton of body into my roots with the powder play and at the same time, it helps control the oil factor I've got going on by late afternoon.
3. Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo: I'm always looking for a way to put some height to my hair and this shampoo does just that. Nobody likes a head full of flat hair.
4. Essie Nail Color: This is the hottest nail color to hit the market recently and I can't get enough. I almost wish they'd quit making so many colors because I'd be a little richer. The mangos and greens are out of this world and perfect for September.

A few bloggers, including myself, were put to the challenge of styling an on-trend look for Fall at under $150, which was actually so easy with all of the promo codes I found at Ebates.
The outfit I styled revolved around this amazing floral blouse {picked up with a 20% off promo code found at Ebates}. I thought I'd go with a fun date night look by pairing it with cuffed skinny jeans and the shoe of the moment, ankle strap platform pumps, both picked up at Charlotte Russe. I found a few stand out, yet affordable accessories at Target including the black clutch and skinny belt. I polished the look off with these fun gold hoop earrings from Kohl's and a rhinestone pyramid stretch bracelet from Nordstrom.

I polished the look off with these fun gold hoop earrings from Kohl's and a rhinestone pyramid stretch bracelet from Nordstrom.
Every piece of this look was put together with merchants I shop often, and all were affiliated with Ebates, so I saved big with the promo codes and then racked up on cash back for my purchases. I love earning a commission on my own purchases and every little bit adds up!
So what do you all think of the outfit I styled for Ebates Fall Fashion week. Is this a look you would wear?
My outfit details:
- Candie's Gold Hoop Earrings - Kohl's $10.40
- Rhinestone Pyramid Stretch Bracelet - Nordstrom $12.00
- Printed Wrap Blouse - similar here (Saved 20% with Ebates promo code) $47.68
- Refuge Glam Ultra Skinny Jeans - Charlotte Russe On Sale For $25
- Sueded T-Strap Wedge Sandals - Charlotte Russe On Sale For $20.00
- Merona Skinny Black Belt - Target $12.99
- Merona Small Black Clutch - Target $7.99

Have you heard of C. Wonder? I discovered the amazing store a few weeks ago while I was in New York City. I fell in love with their adorable pieces and great merchandising. You can imagine my glee when I found out that they just launched on Ebates - now I can snag all these great items with 3.0% Cash Back. Here are the items that I am currently lusting after:
1. incredibly adorable pillows for any couch, chair, or bed
2. Nature chic stackable Bamboo ring set
3. Get a pinch of the menswear look with these ballet flats
4. Beautiful bauble for any and every outfit

Step into fall with a new 'pointy' spring in your step. Even though the Summer sun is still shining, I have fall fashion on the mind. One of the trends I am most psyched about is pointy flats. They add instant polish to any outfit and there are amazing options.
1. These tan and navy polka dot pointy flats are a funky little basic
2. These pointed flats are animal printed and have gold embellishment, but they would still look cute all year 'round
3. These basic pointed Steve Madden black flats are never going out of style
4. Sparkly & pointed? Yes, please!
5. Stay on trend with a bold print - they will spruce up any basic outfit in a second!

Having combination skin makes getting that perfect complexion far more complicated. Sometimes oily and sometimes dry, I am constantly on the hunt for products that can help with both issues. After oscillating for several months I finally took the plunge and bought some beauty balm - also known as BB creme.
Result: Life changed! I give my gold star seal of approval to Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm.
It runs $36 at Sephora, which may seem like a hefty price tag at first, but consider this: it moisturizes, helps with blemishes, minimizes pores, proves great coverage AND offers good sun protection. So at that price, it can replace up to FIVE other products, therefore that price tag actually indicates excellent value :)

2. Loafers with a fun tassle
3. Funky wrap dress
4. Flattering bright blazer
5. Bright pop of color from a pair of legging jeans
6. Great military-inspired jacket for layering

While I love my flats and wedges as much as the next girl, I also harbor a deep love for the most practical footwear around: sneakers! With a lengthy trip on the horizon I know I am going to need a pair that will still look stylish (not going to give that up). Luckily there are lots of great choices. Might have to snag a few with all the Cash Back I am going to earn!
1. Chic Italian design aesthetic is front and center in this pair Supergas
2. Not just laces, but velcro as well in these JCPenney kicks
3. Youthful and funky Vans
4. Cute and playful prevails in this pair of Keds

Sometimes I think the folks at ModCloth are creating my dream wardrobe without my even knowing it. Their items have a vintage yet modern look to them that is so difficult to find. I make it my business to check their selection every few weeks. These are the pieces I am currently crushing on:
1. Cutout top in colbalt
2. This floral blouse is dressed up with sleek black piping
3. Head over heels for the studded collar on this blouse
4. Adorable variety of stripes all in a single skirt
5. Can't decide what I love more about this dress - the peter pan collar or the pop of color at the bottom

As the seasons change I like to change up my beauty routine accordingly. With the heat I like the focus on getting a great glow, and protecting my skin. Here are my fave Summer beauty buys:
1. Get that Summer glow with some fierce bronzer. Be sure to dust over cheekbones and your nose for the sun-kissed look.
3. Brighten up your nails with a bold bright color - like orange!
4. Color and moisture on your lips - my favorite is Sugar
5. Lengthy lashes are always in style. Make the most of yours with Benefit's great mascara.

Have you seen the new store Sweaty Betty popping up on Ebates? This UK-based female sportswear brand has finally made it over to the US with its new US e-commerce site and I am jumping up and down with excitement (how many calories do you think that burns?). I had the pleasure of working for them when I lived in London and since moving back to the States, I haven't found anything that compares to their mix of fashion and function in workout wear. Check them out if you haven't already! Even better, they are having a great swimwear sale right now: up to 75% off!
As an avid runner and yogi here are my Top 5 favorite Sweaty Betty Products:
Favorites:
Mantra Tank - comfortable, keeps its shape, washes really well and great for yoga or just lounging
Trim Gym Pant - uber lightweight, doesn't ride up and very, very flattering
Shanti Yoga Bra - Best bra ever! Ever! Great fit, made of bamboo so it's super soft and feels like nothing but with enough support for yoga
Glisten Workout Long Sleeve - another bamboo fabric product I love, soft, warm and great for skiing
Control Legging - best legging, hands down. Comfy, great fit and sucks everything IN!
Caitie is a dear friend of Ebates, who is a blogging pro (clearly), smart shopper, and avid Sweaty Betty fan.

Boy, has the Summer arrived with a vengeance. As temperatures rise, I find I have to completely overhaul my makeup routine. One of my go-to moves for distracting people from that Summer glow, is bright lips. There are amazing long lasting options that give a great update to your look. Right now Sephora has an awesome 8.0% Cash Back, so I am scooping up these items now:
This image doesn't really do this Laura Mercier tinted lip balm justice. It is actually a great coral color. It seems to last forever AND moisturizes your lips!
This Nars lip pencil will give you a seriously long lasting matte look. The red shade is that classic color that will carry well all year 'round.
Doesn't this pink screams Summer? Tarte's bright shade is HOT right now. It is a great way to punch up any outfit!
Urban Decay offers AMAZING high impact colors that will last all day long. These are not for the faint of heart, but will look great on anyone willing to try 'em out.

Summer is the season that I really like to sit back and relax with a great book. There are few things I love more then grabbing a good book and soaking up some rays with a cool glass of water (or wine). Luckily you can get an AMAZING selection of books and e-books with Cash Back from Ebates. Here are a few that I would strongly reccomend:
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender is an odd scifi-esque novel. Bender is a strong, creative writer, and this story is unlike any I have ever read.
I think that The Glass Castle was on the NYTimes Bestseller list for well over a year, and it is no surprise. The gripping, beautiful memorable is one of the most widely adored books I have read. I have given it to family and friends that have all adored it.
While I am skeptical about the upcoming remake of The Great Gatsby, despite my adoration for Leonardo DiCaprio, I can't help but feeling an itch to reread this classic.
Some people have told me that they thought Everything is Illuminated is a tad difficult to get into. But dive head first and stick with this hilarious and poignant semi-autobiographical novel. AFTER you read it be sure to check out the movie starring Elijah Wood.
Confession: I am a total history nerd. But you don't have to be one to enjoy this amazing true story. In the Heart of the Sea is about a whaling ship attacked by a sperm whale off the coast of Nantucket - the true story of the Melville Classic Moby Dick. Nathaniel Philbrick is a truly gifted writer. Be sure to grab this before the movie comes out (rumor has it that Thor himself will be staring).

I will admit I find myself paying way too much attention to wild and crazy trends. Recently I have found myself paying much more attention to more classic pieces and looks. One of the places that I have really taken a liking to is LL Bean. They have a great collection is classic pieces that are not going to break the bank. These are the pieces on my wish list:
1. Nothing says Americana chic like gingham, right?
2. Polka dots add a fun print to the classic camp shirt
3. Chic and flattering cargo jacket great for Spring and Fall
4. Rock this Parisian inspired tee with red lips for a lovely feminine look
5. Classic tote bag - I had one of these all through college and it held up to my clumsiness amazingly well!

Five Must-Haves for Any Summer Party
Summer party season is in full swing. Whether it's a backyard BBQ or pool party, chances are you'll be spending time with friends and family at a casual gathering in the coming months. If you are hosting a summer soiree, keep it simple and stress-free with these five must-haves for any summer party.
Grill & Grilling Supplies
Grilling is synonymous with summer. Charcoal or gas, a sturdy, well constructed grill is one of the most versatile pieces of cooking equipment for home cooks and professional chefs alike. In addition to standard summer fare like hot dogs and burgers, grills can also be used to cook pizzas, quesadillas, and virtually any vegetable or fruit. When preparing food on a grill, be sure to use heat-resistant handle utensils and heavy-duty oven mitts to protect against burns.
Classic Cocktails
Keep guests happy while you are cooking by offering a variety of classic summer cocktails like margaritas and daiquiris or create your own signature drinks with flavored syrups such as Monin Gourmet Flavorings. Invest in a quality bar blender and stock your bar with your favorite spirits, fruit juices, sodas, and margarita mix, as well as cocktail shakers and cocktail picks to make mixing and serving your guests' favorite drinks fast and easy.
Festive Tableware
Think beyond red plastic Solo cups and paper plates this summer and set your summer party tables with festive tableware. Choose unique pieces to match the theme of your party to set the mood for your guests. Mason drinking jars and cactus margarita glasses are a great addition to casual gatherings while sophisticated china dinnerware provides a perfect backdrop for menus at more formal affairs.
Fun & Functional Décor
Often unpredictable, summer weather and warm weather pests can put a damper on any summer celebration. Be prepared for the elements by incorporating functional pieces in your party décor. A fun and functional tiki torch can be transformed from a lighting element into insect repellant with citronella tiki torch fuel, keeping guests comfortable and bug-free.
Sweet Treats
Finish off your summer party by offering guests a variety of sweet treats. Cupcakes are a fuss-free favorite so grab a muffin pan and bake up some with summer-inspired flavors like pina colada, key lime pie, or orange cream pop. Ice cream is another good option and can be easily prepared in an inexpensive ice cream maker and served with a variety of toppings like fresh fruit, sprinkles, candy, and nuts.

One of the current trends that I absolutely love, despite its absurdity, is over the top nail art. I love the playful excess of it, however, I am not willing to break the bank at a salon for a manicure that I am probably going to destroy in a day or two. Lucky for me, the folks at Sally Hansen found me a solution with their Nail Effects line:
While they aren't going to last more then 5 days or so, they are cheaper then a manicure, and easy to apply. You follow the simple instructions inside, and you are good to go - no dry time! They come in a great variety of colors and prints.
I was rocking some fun floral prints this weekend, and am excited to try more. You can get these awesome nail stickers at Target or Ulta with your Cash Back through Ebates!

If you are like me, you have always been familiar with Coach, but mostly for their lovely leather handbags. While they still make these classic bags (with 3.0% Cash Back!), I recently caught wind of another fabulous Coach offering: Shoes!
Even better: they are having a fantastic shoe sale. They have lots of great styles and are constantly adding more. Sneakers, sandals, wedges, flats, and more. Their footwear features the same classic look and craftsmanship that has been synonymous with the Coach brand for years. They are offering Double Cash Back via the Ebates Shoes & Handbags sale, so scuttle over and check out their shoe sale before all the best shoes are gone!

It's hard to deny that one of the season's hottest trend is eye catching neon. From pants to bags, and shoes, this is a trend you can participate in as little of much as you like.

1. Canvas and leather tote in hottest hue of the season
2. Cap toe and colorblocked flats
3. Love these bright striped socks for the gym
4. Make a statement in these skinny jeans

As the crisp edge falls off the air this Spring, there are several items we have our sights set on. The colors of the latest fashions this season make me feel like I'm walking through a budding, blooming field of wildflowers, tangerine orange my favorite. Even though bright colors are the name of the game this Spring, you can't go wrong with a few staple items, like the ones I've included on my gotta-have-it list:
A good denim shirt is a must have for this Spring
Skirts with pockets like this linen one from JCrew.
Everybody needs a casual white tee, I'll take this one from Gap.
Boyfriend blazer, whether you're single or not, from Urban Outfitters.
Colored skinnies like these from Nordstrom.
Leather hobo bag, like this one at Saks that I'd trade any bag in my collection for!
Gladiator sandals because they just go with everything.
Scarves, scarves, scarves, infinity or not, like the ones at Nordstrom.

Hey everyone! It's Melea from Freebies2Deals.com. Decorating a home can be daunting and can end up costing a lot of money! But just like everything else, there is always a way to save. :)
Here are a few tips to help you save on everything from big furniture purchases to small home accents:
1- Shop on Holidays. Major furniture stores always do promotions on and around Holidays. They actually use even the smallest Holidays to their advantage. And we can too. Watch for their ads in your mailbox and many times you will see coupons to use on top of the sale price.
2- Shop at Scratch and Dent Sales. You would be surprised what big box stores consider "scratch and dent", yet what you can barely even notice. We purchased an entertainment stand from a scratch and dent store for $19 a few years ago. It was gorgeous, normally a few hundred dollars and no one ever noticed the flaw. Actually, everyone just commented on how beautiful it was.
3- Shop Garage Sales. Oh the wonderful things you can find at Garage Sales! This will obviously take a little more work and digging on your part. But there are some definite treasures that people want to get rid of. Just last week, my mother-in-law (an avid Garage Sale Shopper) picked up numerous bedroom dressers for $5.00!! They were in good condition and the sellers just needed to move asap and wanted everything gone. Now, that's a deal.
4- For everything from Furniture to Mirrors and Tabletop Decor, shop the Daily Deal sites. I have a few personal favorites that have helped me decorate our own home. One Kings Lane, Rue La La, Zulily and Home Sav. All of which have been 100% reliable and are what other Freebies2Deals readers are fans of too!
5- Last of all, don't be afraid of a little email. If you don't want your own inbox full of promotions from companies, create a free email address for just that. Sign up for your favorite store's email newsletters so you can get the heads up when online discounts and in-store discounts are coming. Also, "like" those Home Decor companies on Facebook. Promos are given out all of the time exclusively for their followers. And, of course, make sure you are watching Ebates for extra cash back on top of their already hot offers!

Traditional Valentine's gifts can be fairly pricey. In order to save money, check out these tips for your Valentine's Day purchases.
1. Flowers Don't buy flowers from a flower shop on their busiest day of the year to be delivered to your significant other. Instead, buy flowers from your local grocer, arrange in a vase, decorate with a bow, and deliver the flowers yourself.
2. Chocolates Instead of buying an expensive box of chocolates, buy your love's favorite candy bar and wrap it in a pretty bow.
3. Homemade Desserts Try making some homemade Valentine's treats and desserts, such as chocolate covered strawberries. These types of goodies are easy to make and are a lot less expensive than traditional boxed chocolates.
4. Cards Sure, it's easier to buy a card from the store, but homemade cards are more endearing and are a great way to save money while still being romantic. Write or copy a poem, or get your kids involved for a fun Valentine's craft.
5. Jewelry Skip on the diamonds and go for colored gems, such as rubies or emeralds or even moissanite stones, if you want to save money on jewelry. Check out eBay and pawn shops to find the best deals.

I will openly admit that my makeup routine is boring on it's best days. Often times it is reduced to merely mascara and bronzer. I have regularly found myself increasingly jealous of Hollywood starlets with perfect, long-lasting, bright pouts (see Zooey Deschanel). I recently discovered a complete game changer for those who want bright lips without constant reapplication.
First, fill in your lips with Sephora's waterproof lip liner, and then apply their cream lip stain and viola! Even better - both products come in loads of colors, so you can mix, match, and earn Cash Back through Ebates.

I admit, I love the natural looks in the warmer months. But as the weather cools, I usually like to be a little more hands on. I love deep fall makeup hues. And Ebates gives you Cash Back for Fall Beauty picks. Here are my favorites so far:

2. Prolong that summer glow throughout the year. I was a late convert to bronzing, but have become a full-fledged fan, and this Cargo bronzer is great on any skintone
3. Eye makeup is not my expertise, however this Sephora Brand smokey eye palette makes things much more simple.

With an exciting vacation just around the corner, I must admit I have caught a case of the travel bug. When I go abroad I must admit that I value form just as much as function - I am lucky that there is an abundance of beautiful functional travel accessories available AND I am getting cash back, which is always wonderful since vacations rarely come cheap. From adorable luggage to worldwide adapters, you can get cash back on everything you need for your trip.

There are few things I enjoy more around Independence Day then the glorious smell of BBQ wafting through the air. Since nothing screams 'time to grill' like warm weather and fireworks, making your BBQ stand out above all the others can be tricky. There are so many offerings that can help make your BBQ a raging success: award winning barbecue sauce, to citronella candles, and my personal favorite grilling book. Throw on some red, white, and blue, and get to the grilling!

Even though I am on the taller side, I can't help but love all the platform sandals I am seeing -- and now you can get cash back when you indulge in a pair (or two) of your own. They can give you several extra inches, yet I have found they are easier to walk in then your standard stilettos. A lot of the platforms I am seeing are significantly more sleek then their counterparts of yesteryear (anyone else thinking of the Spice Girls?). Best of all? They work for daytime and evening.

Today's Guest Blogger is The Average Parent. Although most of the country is under snow and/or freezing temperatures, Spring is around the corner. Join The Average Parent as she gives her tips on how to shop for Spring without breaking the bank.Here in the Midwest, we've been experiencing a bit of a heat wave. That's right, it's 45 degrees today! While it's still February, this break in temperature has got me thinking about Spring and the beginning of another shopping season for my kids. Although I have two boys, I still put a lot of effort into making sure they look extra cute. But, because they're boys, I understand they must be able to play in their clothes. Below are my favorite tricks to finding the hottest fashions for the best prices.
Online Clearance Racks - I dread the idea of picking through clearance racks for the perfect shirt. Instead, once the boys are in bed, I head online to find the best deals. Ideal places to look include Kohl's, Target, Macy's and JCPenney.
Second Hand - eBay can be a super convenient resource for finding gently-used clothing. The site allows you to sort your search by size, brand, price and more.
Coupons, Coupons, Coupons - Before you shop, check out Ebates for printable coupons and online discount codes. If you can't find a coupon online, many retailers will send you one just for signing up for their email alerts.
Get Cash Back - When shopping online, always start with Ebates. Membership is completely FREE and you can earn anywhere from 1-30% cash back at more than 1,200 stores.
Join a Rewards Program - If you have a favorite retailer, inquire about a free rewards program that will give you store credit for shopping in their store.
Store Credit Cards - A store card can get you free shipping or save you as much as 10% off your purchases. But, it's not worth it if you don't pay it off before interest begins accumulating.

It's beginning to look a lot like....THE HOLIDAYS! Does hearing that phrase scare you? Does it send you into a panic over your holiday gift shopping list? At one point in my life this was the case for me. As I have become more frugal, however, holiday shopping has become a bit exciting. I'm here to help you stay calm, earn cash back, and most of all shop smart!Here are my tips for a frugal Holiday Season
1. Keep An Open Mind - One of my biggest pieces of advice for holiday shopping, is to shop throughout the year. This is especially true during the tail end of the holiday season, when retailers want to get merchandise out of their store.
2. Shop With Help - By shopping sales and using coupons, you're able to combine double savings and walk away with rock bottom prices. 3. Know Your Store - Ask retailers if the price dips below what you pay, what is their policy on this situation? Many stores have a 30 day policy allowing you to get the lowest price of the month. Equally important is to know the average price. If you are looking for a gaming system, research what it retails for. This will let you know when you see a great price.
4. Shop From Home - The best time of the season to shop is right after Thanksgiving and just into the start of December. The incredible sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday means you can score amazing deals and get cash back from Ebates! I personally appreciate shopping online and not having to leave my home or fight the crowds.5. Shop With A Purpose - Most importantly, during the holiday season shop smart. Make a list of who you need to buy for, and set a price for each of those individuals. Holiday shopping is not a time to break the bank, but rather a time to celebrate and enjoy the ones you love.
Happy shopping!

No need to introduce today's guest blogger, her name says it all. Fashion for less? Yes please!
Hi Ebates Members,
I'm Jennifer from TheLooksForLess.com and I am so excited to be guest posting for Ebates! If you've ever visited my blog before then you know that I am ADDICTED to recreating celebrity looks using pieces that are far more affordable than designer options. In addition to getting the look for less, you can save even more by getting paid to shop these items through Ebates.
My challenge for this post: recreate Jessica Simpson's look using items that are all under $100 and from stores that are all part of Ebates. Mission accomplished and to be honest, I think I actually prefer the "look for less"! What do you think? Would you wear Jessica's look for less?
Let TheLooksForLess.com, your personal shopper, put the looks together for you and then shop through eBates to get paid for dressing as though you can afford those designer price tags.
Happy Shopping,
Jennifer - The Looks For Less

Chic blogger LeRougeStylo gives her advice on how to look hot when the weather's hotter.
There's nothing quite like a summer date night; grabbing gelato after dinner and a movie, sitting outside with your date and looking up at the stars. Achieving a stellar beauty look can be a bit of a challenge June through September thanks to humidity that makes a mess of your makeup to mosquitoes looking to make you their meal. Simplify your life and conquer the elements with these easy tips.
Set the baseline - After washing use an oil-free mattifying moisturizer like Clean and Clean Pore Perfector from drugstore.com to keep your skin from getting too shiny as things heat up. Let this soak in a few minutes before applying a makeup primer. I'm a fan of Smashbox Photo Finish available at Beauty.com. The primer will help keep your makeup in place and as well as smooth out imperfections, fine lines and minimize pores.
Use a light hand - It's a simple summer date ladies- you're not going to be seen in high-def. Heavy layers are not only uncomfortable, but tend to melt off in hot weather. Don't smear or spackle anything on. A touch of tinted moisturizer or lesser amount of your foundation is perfect. Feel free to use concealer for blemishes and dark circles. Use a big fluffy brush to set your foundation with a powder that is going to help battle shine, like Clarins Shine Stopper pressed powder from Clarins.com.
Don't be afraid of color - Now is the time to try out that turquoise eyeshadow, bright purple eyeliner, or fuchsia blush. Just not all at once, this is Summer 2010 not Prom 1983. The key is to apply lightly at first and then layer on for a bolder look. Try a makeup palette with fun options like Urban Decay's Deluxe Shadow Box or Sephora's Color Play 5-in-1 Palette both available at Sephora.com.
Mist and go - Spritzing your face post-makeup with a setting spray further ensures your makeup stays put. Clarins Fix Make-Up Mist Clarins.com is a solid choice that not only sets, but hydrates.
Nobody likes a mosquito bite - For whatever reason, mosquitoes feast on me the second I step outside. But I refuse to douse myself in a chemical bath before a date, so instead I apply Skin So Soft Bath Oil available at Avon.com. The oil has a pleasant smell and keeps me from being mosquito dessert. Another tip - avoid fragrances that have sweet, fruity, or floral notes as they attract mosquitoes.
Have a great time!

It seems that every week we are adding another batch of big names to Ebates. Last week it was Barneys New York, and this week we have added Madewell! The JCrew sibling just recently launched their e-commerce site and we added them just in time. Hundreds of fashion bloggers, seen here and here have celebrated the launch of their online store and now you can celebrate the right way: with cash back from Ebates.
I couldn't wait to take advantage of Madewell online and snagged these Sunset Sandals, which miraculously solved just about every shoe need I have. The reason why these shoes checked off so many prerequisites is that they are stylish, timeless, versatile and most importantly, I can actually walk in them. But, they are not completely flat so they can be a little more sophisticated if they need to be. If these shoes strike your fancy and also solve some of your shoe problems, I recommend ordering them soon, because they are selling out quickly. And take advantage of 1.0% Cash Back too. Also find a ton of cute sandals, great denim ( get free shipping on all denim purchases), cute sun-dresses, amazing jewelry and hundreds of other style staples. Plus, there are a few great designer collaborations coming down the line. Currently, shop a capsule collection with jewelry brand Lizzie Fortunato and this Fall expect to see the much anticipated collaboration with Alexa Chung. And yes, those are the Sunset Sandals seen on the runway!
The one problem the Madewell Sunset Sandal didn't solve was my need for something in between a sneaker and a sandal for summer days where I needed the comfort of a sandal but a little more coverage. I got lucky again when I happened upon these stylish and amazingly affordable Espadrille Flats from Shopbop for just $28. These slip on canvas flats come in several different color-ways to suit a variety of tastes. Plus, they are comfortable and the perfect compliment to every casual ensemble. I've seen similar styles selling for much more and these are going fast so pick up a pair now and get free shipping and 6.0% Cash Back.

Lately, all I want to do is shop.
"What else is new?" you may think, because after all, I make a living shopping for the best deals around. But believe it or not the two are different. Shopping for trends, deals, and must have coupons isn't so much about my tastes as it is finding you, our loyal members, the best of what's out there. Sometimes this constant prowl can affect (more like infect) my thoughts with images of swing skirts, silky blouses, and supple leather bags. And sometimes it doesn't. With my birthday in just 2 days, I've been feeling the twinge to stop saying no to everything that catches my eye, and to instead become a yes woman. Yes I want shoes! Yes I want new tops! Yes I want to spoil myself rotten, and say to hell with saving every penny!
Sometimes shopping really is therapy.
Whatever the reason for this burst of shopping madness, there are limitations to how deeply I can indulge myself. Some might consider this a buzz kill, but I think of it as a challenge. One which I've won thanks to J.Crew. Of all the things I could buy, these Sardinia Espadrilles are on the top of my list. Not only are they uber pretty, but they're also comfortable and extremely versatile. For just $118 I consider these a great way to splurge on Summer's must have shoe while keeping reality in check.
Slightly further down my list are these Cleo Platform Sandals. Like the espadrille these too can be seen everywhere in fashion, and thanks to tanned leather straps and a suede platform, they're also versatile. A bit funkier than the espadrilles, these sandals are made to be worn with Spring trends like the military jacket, and the sailor shirt. Two items which Poppy and I can't stop talking about. Both pairs of shoes are available at J.Crew and both come with 1.0% Cash Back. Now my shopping madness has been turned into shopping success!

A happy reminder that I need to get my affairs in order is the Ebates Business and Office Sale where six of our favorite stores have increased cash back and exclusive offers that make doing my taxes and getting my home office organized a simple and money saving task. One of these stores is Target, who have increased to 4.0% Cash Back and have literally everything you would need to get your taxes filed and your home office in order. Add to that a bunch of free shipping coupons & Tax Software on sale, and you have the makings of a money saving extravaganza when you shop through Ebates!
But the savings don't end at just business and office offerings. The increased cash back applies to all of your purchases at Target. So while I am shopping for my tax software and new filing cabinet (always save your pay stubs!) I can get more cash back on my health and beauty essentials, home cleaning supplies, home decor, clothing, and accessories. I plan on stockpiling this genius makeup tool from one of my favorite brands and resident Target collaborator Sonia Kashuk. This blending sponge is the perfect applicator for under eye concealer, foundation, and cream blush. It applies the product with the perfect amount of coverage and it is also precise. For just $9.99 (other versions sell for upwards of $25), it is worth having one for the home and one for on the go, whenever you may need the perfect touch up. Now when the Target box arrives, I will at least have something exciting to look forward to!
Shop at all of our Business and Office Stores and find something extra for yourself with increased cash back!

By the time Christmas is over, along with all the shopping and deal hunting that precedes the holiday, the last thing I really want to do is shop. Which, if you know me, is quite shocking because I always want to shop. Still, after-Christmas sales are usually too good to pass up, and there are a few items that I always keep my eye out for to pick up at staggeringly low prices the day after Christmas. After Christmas I always check out my favorite e-tail jaunts to a great deal (and cash back) on winter wear, including cashmere sweaters, coats, and more. Macy's (with 5.0% Cash Back) and Bloomingdale's (with 5.0% Cash Back) never fail me with a good after-Christmas sale and have tons of markdowns on my favorite brands (shop all clothing and accessory sales). Another thing I always manage to get on sale after Christmas is luggage. Because most holiday travel is over and done with, retailers usually put some luggage on major markdown. While I do not need an exorbitant amount of travel gear, I like to have the right bag for my travel needs. Sears has a great selection of luggage at a great price with, of course, 4.0% Cash Back from Ebates.
Not only will you find savings on clothing and accessories, but also electronics, toys, home goods, and holiday decor. Avoid the crowds and shop after-Christmas sales through Ebates and earn yourself some cash back to spend in the new year!

Yesterday's "Cyber Monday II" marks the generally accepted end of many retailers' shipping deadlines, but here at Ebates, we have you covered - one quick visit to our Christmas Shipping Deadlines page, you can find in one convenient place all the info you might need in order to find out how late you can wait to get your purchases by Christmas.
Speaking personally, I have bought exactly one present thus far for Christmas. I know it's somewhat hypocritical for me to sit here and talk to you about how you need to allow time for things to ship, but I figure that if I publicly announce that I have hardly purchased anything for my friends and family this year, I might be a tad more motivated to actually sit down and figure out what I plan to get for my loved ones. The good news for me (and you, if you procrastinate nearly as much as me) is that there are still a number of stores who offer standard shipping well into December, some going as late as the 22nd of December. Or, if you find that perfect present, most stores offer priority shipping, albeit at a price, through the 23rd or 24th in many cases.
So visit our Christmas Shopping Deadlines page, find out where you can still shop, and go earn some cash back on all your holiday purchases through Ebates.
If you need suggestions, don't forget to visit our Holiday Gift Ideas pages.

These days when budgets are extra tight, it is important to pay just as much attention to where your money is going as to what you are buying. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is more important than ever to support the cause with a purchase of a product where a portion of the proceeds are donated. With a huge array of Ebates merchants participating in Breast Cancer Awareness month, it's easy to support the cause, get something you actually need, and earn some cash back too. Bloomingdale's is supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation by offering easy donation on their site, or you can enter their beauty sweepstakes to win a beauty bag (they will donate $1 for each entry). You can also shop their Pink Boutique, where all products donate proceeds to a participating foundation and, of course, you will get 3.0% Cash Back from Ebates.
I really can't ever say no to a leather jacket, much less one that donates a portion of the proceeds to the cause. This Levis Capital E Leather Jacket is the perfect topper to all my Fall ensembles. Plus, there is an option of a burnished red color which is less harsh than black and different than anything I have. At a reasonable $298, I know that even if I am making an investment, I am also stretching my dollar for a good cause.
Shop Breast Cancer Awareness products from more of your favorite merchants like Sephora, drugstore.com, Nordstrom, Macys, Ann Taylor, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Shopbop and many more! Click here to shop all of our 1,200+ merchants!

At this point you should already know that Sears has doubled their cash back for our Columbus Day Sale. You should know that through Monday you can get 4.0% Cash Back on all your purchases from this fine store. I also have to assume that if you're enough of a devoted shopper to use Ebates and read our blog, that you are beyond familiar with the wide range of products available there, from power mowers to ladies' underthings. But there's one part of Sears that many people overlook every single day: their Shopping Helpers. This set of tools and resources can help even the most technophobic of us to find exactly what they're looking for at Sears.com, and sometimes they can even help you find the things that you never really knew you were looking for in the first place. There are specialized guides for picking the perfect appliances, the perfect outfit, or the perfect pieces to round out any room in the house. Plus, this one little page is where you can go for rebate information, product recall information, or to chat one-on-one with Sears' personal shoppers, who are trained even better than myself in helping pair you with exactly what you have always been looking for. Now that's what I call service!
Find just what you're looking for from all the great merchants in our Columbus Day Sale with increased cash back - ends tomorrow!

I don't remember exactly when I fell in love with Target. I think that the process was pretty swift or there was some sort of magical dust in the air. I can't put a finger on it, but suffice it to say, I've become a dyed-in-the-wool, Tar-jay loving, blogging maniac about all things Target for almost two years now. What do you want to know? Great tips on getting the most out of shopping at Target? I can help! I am a Targeteer! To start with, go to Target.com and sign up for their email. Then chant repeatedly that you will NOT click links in their email before you log into Ebates and route your shopping trip through the Ebates site once logged in so you get credit for shopping at Target. Target emails are your "cheat sheet" to getting deals. Just search for the item after you've gone to Target via Ebates to access the deal on the item you have an interest in purchasing. Is your brain asking you why I am telling you to do it this way? It ensures that you will get your cash back from Ebates. If you click on links from just going to the Target site first, you probably will not get credit for your purchase. This is because of the tracking that takes place so that Ebates can see all the info it takes to give you credit.
Next, go to the site map for Target. It will reveal many pages that you may not have known that were there that are also money savers. There is a page for rebates on products. That is updated as merchandise rotates on and off the list. There is a link for recycling your old cell phone where you can get credit via a Target Gift Certificate.
Now take a moment and check out their clearance pages. This is where you get the greatest savings. If you will shop off-season, you'll rack up savings as high as 90%. You will have to visit the site very often as the discounts deepen to snag your deal. How about Target's Daily Deals? There are usually about five items listed. Another fairly new category is the Red Hot Shop! You'll find a dozen or so items listed there that are very interesting, usually quite affordable, and often a little quirky.
Do you have a Target RedCard? I'm not advocating debt but if you can manage your credit, this can be a sweet deal. We purchase everything on our RedCard and after $1000 in purchases you get a 10% discount card good for one day. I usually use my 10% card for a shop where I can maximize my savings and pile up clearance prices, sale prices, shopping codes or store coupons and make my own sale.
Now that you know the basics of how to grab a really good deal, here are a few frugal opportunities that caught my eye this week... Thanksgiving Turkey is sure to be a hit when you use this Stainless Steel Roasting Set! Snag this deal now for $27.99 (reg $39.99). This is a smart purchase after saving 30% and it will last for many years to come. It includes two large fork roast/turkey lifters, a jumbo roast rack, baster, reusable turkey timer and marinade injector. Baster is stainless steel with a silicone bulb and comes with needle and brush; baster holds 1.5 oz; injector holds 7 tsp.
Serve up a scrumptious pumpkin pie in the Cornucopia Pumpkin Pie Plate for $8.99! You'll be happy you have this item to place on your Turkey Day dinner table after saving 25%. If you are the guest at someone else's table, take a pie in this pie plate as a hostess gift. This item is a 10 " hand-painted stoneware and will make all of your Pilgrims smile when they learn it is also dishwasher safe.
Snuggle up under this Kingsize Sleepwarmer Automatic Blanket. Save not only 50% on this blanket at $59.98 (reg. $119.99), but also on your winter heating bills too. It is currently available in a variety of colors (king size only) and is 100% polyester and machine washable.
Every girl needs a little black dress! Check out this Merona Collection Knit Wrap Dress! It is available in XS - XXL at ONLY $14.99 (reg $29.99). You'll save 50% on this dress and you'll get tons of opportunities to wear it to all sorts of holiday parties. Just change your jewelry, shoes and dress up or down with a wrap or a jacket.
Interested in getting more deals in the store? Surf on over to AttentionTargetShoppers.com and follow along as I lead you from one deal to the next, Be sure to sign up for the email feed. I also publish a complete ad match-up to coupons item-by-item every Sunday.
Disclaimer: I am not now nor have I ever been a Target employee. I am simply a Target loving blogger who loves to share her deals. I also do NOT have any "insider" info from any Target employee past or present. I find my own deals or they are submitted by others who love shopping at Target. Follow me to Target. I will save you lots of money.

I can always count on Ebates special sales events to introduce me to a merchant that may have otherwise passed me by. The prospect of increased cash back and deals always makes me take an extra look at a merchant and see what they have. A perfect example of this is White House Black Market, a participant of the Ebates Columbus Day Sale, who have doubled to 4.0% Cash Back for the event. They carry chic clothing and accessories for women mostly in the namesake hues and have everything from work separates to affordable yet totally stylish shoes, jewelry, cashmere scarves, and more. They even sell double-sided tape for all those moments when you need to prevent a 'wardrobe malfunction'.
One item that totally stood out was this Contoured Tank Dress for $178. It is everything a little black dress should be: timeless, versatile, and totally flattering. The go-anywhere style is perfect for someone on a budget, as it can be worn just as easily for work under a blazer as for a cocktail party with heels and glitzy jewels a la Michelle Obama's Date night LBD (the perfect inspiration). And get $20 off your White House Black Market order of $80 or more with code 8936 at checkout.

Did you know that you can now have a Vera Bradley wedding? There are now custom bridesmaid dresses & tableware in Vera Bradley fabrics! The only reason that I know this is because I am a Vera Bradley addict. My obsession began after the birth of my first child. I had purchased my first Vera Bradley Diaper Bag and I fell in love with the fabric design & the structure of the bag (it has tons of pockets to hold everything). Since then, I have purchased at least two a year.
The prints are so eye-catching and make such a fashion statement that I can't help myself. Each week Vera Bradley seems to have a new bag on sale. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, Vera Bradley has the Pinwheel Pink & Daisy Daisy bags on sale for 40% off!! Between the sale price & getting 3.0% Cash Back through Ebates, you can really get a steal of a deal!

Here at Ebates we're in the midst of our Cash Back Bonanza, where we're trying to remind you all of new or different ways to use Ebates to earn cash back like you haven't in the past. It's easy to just remind yourself to log into Ebates when you want to bid at eBay or buy some new clothes at ShopBop, but there are a number of things that we buy every day that people don't realize you can purchase online to earn cash back on.
One such item is tires. While all of us who own a vehicle have to replace tires from time to time, if you're like me, you just go to your nearest tire shop or favorite chain store, and pick up a new tire, or a new set of four, and have them install it while you wait. While this is a perfectly fine way to buy tires, and it makes perfect sense, why not earn cash back on something you'd be buying anyways? See, just last week I noticed that the tires on the ol' Billmobile were getting a little thin, and while one was in really good shape (read: only about four months old) the rest were starting to show more and more signs of wear. I did a little research on our site to make sure Sears offered cash back on tires, and sure enough, they did. So I was quickly able to order four new tires, and use that almost-new one as my new spare!
Being somewhat savvy when it comes to automotive needs and upkeep, I knew which size tire was on my vehicle, and was able to shop that way. If you are unsure, Sears also offers an automated system to help you find the right tires, in which you enter in the make, model, and year of your car, and their tire widget will pick the right size tires for you. Then all you have to do is proceed with your order online as usual, select "install at store" and you not only earn 2% Cash Back, you don't pay shipping, since they're already in-house.
There is one down side: you still pay for labor and installation. Speaking personally, mine was about $75. Still, I earned 2% Cash Back on my $435 tire purchase, which was a sweet little tomato of savings.
What else have you saved money on that most people wouldn't think about when shopping through Ebates?

Part of being "in the know", is knowing that fashion isn't just about expensive labels, snobby boutiques, and too-cool-for-school sales people. Fashion is an art form, and can't be held to just one stereotype. It can, however, be found in flea markets, mass retailers, on the sidewalk, and sitting on the shelves in Payless. Yes, Payless has joined the legions of retailers collaborating with top designers to bring their customers the most fashion-forward pieces at unfashionable prices.Anyone who's read my blog is quite aware of my love for clothing lines Alice and Olivia, and Abaete. Both labels are known for their attention to detail and playful use of color, so imagine my surprise when I discovered these lines selling at Payless Shoe Source. From funky gladiator sandals to cute totes, the selection is big enough to satisfy anyone's taste. These Dylan Canvas Skimmers by Abaete are the perfect hybrid of cute flat meets practical sneaker. The best part about this shoe is how amazingly affordable it is, and at $28, this shoe is a steal compared to the line's normal selling range.
Payless also carries lines by Lela Rose as well as Patricia Field. Patricia was the head stylist on Sex and the City, and is one of my heroes for her use of high and low fashion. My favorite item in the collection is the Tango Coin Purse. Besides being impeccably cute, this coin purse can be clipped onto your jeans for a hands free night. Despite being tiny, it can easily hold credit cards, cash, and keys without looking bulky. At $20, it's a cheap alternative to an expensive clutch. Not that I don't love those too.....

Writing about wedding dresses is something best left to two groups of women. Those who have walked down the aisle, and those who are planning to walk down the aisle. I belong to group three which I like to call the delusional group. There is no wedding, no fiance, and not even a suitor who could be coerced into becoming a fiance. The only aisles I walk down happen to be at my local grocery store. Regardless of this slight oversight, I shop for wedding dresses on a fairly regular basis. Like I said, delusional.Another group of women I belong to is the vintage lover group. This group is known for it's love of rare finds that we believe to be one of a kind, and we convince ourselves of this feverishly by spending $80 on a tattered blouse. The older and more torn the garment, the more authentic, and therefore distinct, we look. This mentality applies to wedding dresses as well as Mexican peasant blouses, 50's prom dresses, and of course the oh so popular vintage concert t-shirts. You weren't born when the band played Monterey Pop, but your dad's-friend's-brother was.
Besides wanting to look like I don't shop at David's Bridal, there's something utterly romantic about a garment made so long ago. There's no argument that the quality of lace and beading is simply unparalleled in today's clothing. When I do someday walk down an aisle not filled with canned pork and beans, I want to look unique and not mass produced. This is where eBay comes in handy. For those seeking the rare, ebay's extensive vintage collection ranges from post-Civil War era, to today. There's something for everyone, no matter what you're looking for. Check often, as new items are listed and quickly auctioned off everyday.One piece I found devastatingly beautiful was this beaded gown from the 30's. One length in the front, the fabric on this piece splits into two tiers, giving the illusion of a train. Although this gown is within the cream family, the soft palette is more romantic to me than ordinary white. There's even a pink velvet belt for added glamour. I envision wearing this with my hair wrapped in bold flowers such as fuchsia Petunias. The look is very old southern charm, and for a yankee such as myself, a nice change of pace. Shopping on eBay through Ebates will get you 3% cash back, however there are some restrictions. Cash back is not offered to real estate deals, eBay motors, and other big tickets items like business/industrial. For those shopping for everything else, eBay has it and then some.

Tomorrow is the last day of 2008, and I can speak for myself here when I say that I am not so sad to say goodbye. In fact, I am excited for a fresh start in 2009. However high our goals for the New Year, we all need a little inspiration to follow through with our projected self-improvements. Personally, I would like to be more consistent with my fitness routine. I have tried many things to motivate myself to attend a Yoga class or to go for a brisk run, and nothing has really inspired me to partake in exercise more than on a sporadic basis. So I figured that I should use my love of shopping as a motivational tool. I will shop for workout clothing so that I will be so inspired to wear the clothing that I will gladly make the trek the gym. Although I'm embellishing the truth a bit, the point is the same: you need to set yourself up to be successful in your resolutions, no matter what they are. My way is to buy the gear I need to make working out more pleasant.
I got a little more motivation from Gap, where they are currently having a special New Year's 30% off sale on all work out bottoms. Once my favorite lounge pants and now my favorite workout pants, these Stretch Cotton Fold Over Pants are now under $25 with 6% cash back. These pants are super comfortable and quite possibly the most flattering workout pants I have ever worn. They go from early morning Yoga class to the coffee shop-without screaming "I just worked out".
Stock up on the essentials while all Gap Body Sport bottoms are 30% off and save. Hurry, the sale ends January 14 when merchandise will return to regular price. And don't forget that after tomorrow our Double Cash Back Holiday Promotion ends, so Gap will return to 3% cash back, so you'd better act fast if you want to save as much as possible.

Although Amy Winehouse said no, no, no to rehab, she has said yes to great fashion. Her style is much like her music. Colorful, retro, and full of soul. As if her 60's beehive hairstyle wasn't eye catching enough, Amy's rock-a-billy/ 60's Motown fashion is done in the only way she can: amazingly.As for myself, I've always loved the rock-a-billy look of the mid 50's to early 60's. The halter dresses, the stiff and extremely scratchy crinoline, not to mention the cherry red lipstick. No time period embraces a woman's curves such as this era of pencil skirts and shrunken cardigans. If Betty Page was the flame for this look, then Any Winehouse (minus the drug addiction) is the torch. Despite my love for this va-va-voom look, achieving it without looking like a fool (or like you're wearing a Halloween costume) is best left to the pros (which I am not). Dressing the part takes more than a few key pieces in one's wardrobe. The difference between rock-a-billy sex pot, and school teacher is knowing what works and what doesn't. This Cropped Jacket From J.Crew is a perfect example of a retro staple with a fun twist. Instead of pairing this with cropped leggings and looking like Marilyn, try a dark rinse jean and a white t-shirt. Originally $248, this jacket is now just $169.99, making me not just a stylish shopper, but a smart one too.
Another retro trend I am loving this Winter season is the resurgence of vintage-inspired feather headpieces like this feather headband from Urban Outfitters. Although much more flapper than rock-a-billy, this beautiful piece is totally feminine, and is great for bad hair days (which I am always having). Perfect with a a cocktail dress for New Year's, or a simple black sweater for dinner with friends, this accessory is sure to become my new want-to-wear-everyday item, replacing my beloved beret. At just $18, it's not going to cause me wallet shock, which in these times of financial hysteria is a good -- no, great -- thing. Both these stores will earn me 2% cash back, making me one happy (and trendy) customer.

Sorry I have been quiet lately, but there has been a lot going on behind the scenes of the Ebates blog, which I can only let you speculate about.
Still, it wouldn't be a Wednesday for me if I didn't let you know about some random merchant, and today, that is Getzat.com. It's a one-stop solution for all your poster needs.
Have a daughter who wants a Twilight movie poster? Get it at GetZat. Have a son who is almost as Batman-obsessed as me? Find all the best Dark Knight posters at GetZat. Cool hipster want some wall art? Get them this Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas print at GetZat!
Get the picture? Now Get Zat!!!! (with 12% cash back!)

Here in San Francisco, the weather is cooling down a little, and that means that it's a good weekend to stay inside, keep warm, and do some good old fashioned online shopping. Halloween is almost here, and a number of our merchants are offering sales on all your Halloween needs. This is a perfect chance to stock up on candy corn, costumes, and candles. Get a candy dish with a hand that pops out of it. Buy a costume for your pet. You know you're running low on imitation plastic tombstones. Have you checked your supply of fake blood for this year? How about bucketloads of candy? Whatever you're looking to get, now is the time. Plus there's even a way to win even more money by getting into the Halloween spirit.
Here's the plan: we just launched our Halloween Costume Competition, and this is the perfect chance for you to really cash in. What you do is find a great sale and buy a great costume from any number of our merchants, take a compelling picture of it, and submit it for the competition. If your photo wins, you'll get a $300 gift card to Snapfish. It's a chance to make money just for getting in the Halloween spirit.
So stay in this weekend, do some shopping, and snap some pictures - it might make you $300 richer! If you need inspiration, just tell yourself "I need to take a picture that is better than this."

When it comes to city driving, I am a big fan of the horn. I find it tamer and more lady-like than spewing expletives out the window to my fellow driver. The horn gets a bad wrap, and it really expresses a variety of sentiments like, “Excuse me, you are in the way” or “Wow, you really can’t drive.” It can even be a handy tool in being a good Samaritan by telling someone “You left your latte on the roof of your car.” The horn can express interest, disinterest, and healthy, passive-aggressive American rage. So one may ask oneself, with all the uses of a car's horn, why have just one?
Because it is opposite day at the Ebates blogging nucleus, I thought I would put fashion on the side burner (never on the back burner), and think about what other accouterments would fill my life with style and flair. I stumbled upon Stylin’ Trucks and found an entire page of air horns that I could attach to my vehicle. They are available at discount prices, plus 3% Cash Back, and most items ship same day. They have it all! From a Cavalry Charge Musical to a Tequila Musical air horn kit. The latter might present a problem if you are trying to stay under the radar after one too many tequila shots at the town saloon. However, there is a Star Trek musical air horn kit that will deter the cops but attract the ladies! It is really worth a look, especially if you want to put a little personality into your ride. Trust me; it will be worth the cruising ticket to show off your new horn and say excuse me to your fellow driver with the Godfather Theme. So, in light of opposite day, I encourage all of you to add some style to your vehicle with the help of Stylin’ Trucks and make the roadway a runway.

Over the past few weeks I have spoken time and time again about my love of whimsical garden gnomes. Today, I am finally revealing an obsession that runs even deeper than that. This bizarre love of mine is even more pronounced than my love for all things Batman. I'm talking about my obsession with monkeys. Don't ask me why or how this came to be, but I just crack up on principal when I think of all things simian.
Planet of the Apes?
Love it.
Donkey Kong?
Can't get enough of that crazy barrel-throwing primate.
Mr. Teeny, the rollerskating monkey sidekick of Krusty the Klown? One of my favorite Simpsons characters.
I'm not just listing these famous monkeys for my own health. Rather, I found a site this week who features monkey products and other assorted products with animal themes. This may well be the one merchant available through Ebates that offers you the chance to sort through their products by which animal print you want to see. If that isn't advanced, I don't know what is.
So, if you get a chance, check out The Jungle Store. It's a great site chock full of animal products. From greeting cards to stuffed animals, masks to mouse pads, they have all your gift giving or just plain fun needs. What's better is that at The Jungle store, the purchase of a number of their products (it seems like all paper goods, from what I can tell) donate a portion of their proceeds to helping global conservation and protecting animals in captivity, so you can help assure that future generations have monkeys to crack them up as well.
Of all the great products, I have two that I have to give personal recommendations on: the first is the Orangutan Journal. Who wouldn't want to pen the next great American novel on the face of this silly looking simian?
The other is the Orangutan Greeting Card, which
resembles me after a late night more than I'd like to admit. Either way, it's just $2.50 for this blank card, and if you're anything like me, this card will have you smiling before you even read the note that's written inside of it.
So there you have it. Buy a stuffed rhinoceros, or an inflatable alligator for your pool, or even spice up the bedroom with a cheetah-print sheet set. Whatever your flavor, you can find it all at The Jungle Store while getting 5% Cash Back from Ebates.

Before I start telling you about this site, I will add my personal disclaimer: if you are easily offended or take no joy in low-brow humor, do NOT go to this site.
If you're continuing on, don't say that I didn't warn you.
So for this week's installment of "Did you know?", I'll be highlighting a site that flies under the radar a lot, and that is PrankPlace.com. Just from the name, you should expect no surprises. This site is your one-stop shop for every single prank, joke, novelty item, and gag gift you could ever want. I can't say that I've ever found a website with such a wide variety of novelty items: fake toilet paper, fart machines, Jesus flashlight key chains, even exploding golf balls. For the devious prankster in your family, this site could be highly dangerous. From what I know of gag gifts and novelty items, the prices seem rather competitive, and through Ebates you get a whopping 7% back on all purchases.
The primary reason I am recommending this site is because of a few specific products they have that struck me particularly funny. I like to think of myself as possessing fairly refined tastes, and I'd like to believe that the majority of the products on this site are a bit more low-brow than I would usually be intrigued by. However, some products proved me wrong.
The first of those is The Toilet Monster. 
I don't know why I find these little guy so amusing, but whatever the reason may be, every time I see them I start laughing. They're harmless, they're not crude or sexual, they're just kind of a nuisance if you really have to go. Still, I have never seen one of these before, and for less than $20 before your cash back, it makes for a great gag gift for the prankster in your life.
A line of products that PrankPlace stocks that also cracks me up are the de-motivational posters. We've all seen the ones that talk about success and hard work, complete with an uplifting line or two about how important it is to look on the bright side of life. For the cynic in your life, these posters are a bit more fitting, and at $2.89, who could pass one up? Here's an example:
If you can't read the text, it says "Underachievement: The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower."
Finally, what would a Bill-recommended site be without the presence of some garden gnomes? Sure enough, PrankPlace has an entire page of their site dedicated to gnomes and gnome accessories. Mooning gnomes, gnomes who stand on their heads, even flatulent gnomes; they have got it all.
So there's your Wednesday "Did You Know?" and I hope that the information about this site doesn't fall into the wrong hands, because if it does, I could end up with a Toilet Monster where I least expect one.

There are only two days left to enter Ebates' Worst Holiday Gift Contest! Tell us in 250 words or less about
the worst gift you've ever received, and you will have a chance to win one of three $500 gift cards to Red Envelope, Circuit City or SmartBargains! The deadline to enter is 12PM (PST) on December 20th.
You know you have an awful gift lurking somewhere in the dark recesses of your home (much like the decrepit aunt in a Victorian novel)- or, if you have major cojones, it's sitting underneath an acquaintance's Christmas tree at this very moment. I still tremble at the memory of that bow-appliqued Beefy-T courtesy of the "weird girl" at my sixth grade Christmas party. Good intentions, yada yada. No one wants to wear puffy paint.
Don't you think a $500 shopping spree would be a great way to erase the haunting memory of terrible gifts past?
Circuit City has a list of promotions so long that I can't bring myself to post them all here. Most important is their Christmas Eve free shipping; order by December 19th and you can expect your goods to arrive by Sunday. Red Envelope doesn't have any current coupons, but you can get 6% Cash Back at Ebates. My favorite? SmartBargains. I really like the variety of brands on apparel and home decor.
Good luck!

According to USA Today , "Designers Nicolas Ghesquiere, Karl Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney have included skinny jeans in their collections for the past two seasons, but the look is just beginning to intrigue mainstream America."
There are some great skinny jeans out there, from a range of designers: Levi's, Armani Exchange, plus a bunch from eLuxury. We've seen them look cute tucked into boots, dressed up with stilettos and even with a simple pair of flats. But have skinny jeans gone too far?
I'd like to direct your attention to CLD Knee Sock Jeans. Worn with boots, they look perfectly harmless. But take off the boots and socks, and- hey! What's this?
That's right. Those stripey socks are attached to the jeans. Attached, as in sewn-together. As in footie jeans.
What do we think of this? Sure, it can be a little tricky to tuck jeans into boots, but do we really need our socks to be inseparably linked to our pants? What if, upon arriving at the home of a new acquaintance, you are ordered to remove your boots at the door? What then!?
And finally, there's Cheap Monday. Please, have a look and if you can explain to me what the bleep is going on with these pants, I'll give you a prize. And by prize, I mean a jpeg of The Hoff that I swiped from Google's image search. It's ok. You can thank me later.

Remember the Tickle-Me-Elmo craze of 1996? Well, this time, you can stow your brass knuckles.
Elmo T.M.X, the tenth anniversary edition of Tickle-Me-Elmo, was just released on Monday, and, according to CNN, "Elmo fans should grab the new toy while they can, because industry analysts are already anticipating a shortage of Elmo T.M.X. over the holiday shopping season".
As amusing as it may be to imagine thousands of surly soccer moms pillaging the local Wal-Mart, why not give peace a chance? Buy your Elmo T.M.X now, and you'll still have enough teeth to fully enjoy your holiday desserts.
Where can you buy Elmo T.M.X? Well, Target still has them in stock, but you have to buy IN-STORE. So hurry! (Or sign up for boxing lessons. You'll be glad you did.)

Today I thought I'd showcase some of my favorite websites and blogs. Some are product-specific, some help you save money, but they all relate to shopping in one way or another!
Clothes and Accessories: Manolo's Shoe Blog, Daily Denim , The Bag Blog. Most of the products featured in these blogs are pretty high end (read: not cheap!) but they do make a point to feature some bargains from time to time. Plus, Manolo (not to be confused with Blahnik) is simply hilarious. The good news is that as an Ebates user, you don't have to pay retail price! With several merchants carrying designer apparel , you can get Cash Back when you splurge on deluxe duds.
- Saving Money/D.I.Y: The Pink of Perfection. In this vlog, Sarah and Sebastian are a team of crafty hipsters who can make anything look easy (and beautiful)! They have a great philosophy: "'Thrifty,' isn't necessarily about doing things the cheapest way possible, but rather knowing when to splurge, when to pinch, and always being happy with the charming imperfections of doing things yourself." I couldn't agree more!
Health and Beauty: Spa Black Book . Written by Doryn Wallach, an American expat living in London, Spa Black Book is a reincarnation of her former blog, Doryn's Dish. The Dish met a sad demise a couple months back, but Doryn is picking up right where she left off, focusing her blog on spa and beauty products in both London and New York. Her reviews are thoughtful and honest. You can find most of the featured goods on Ebates in the health and beauty category.
- Tech: Apple Insider, MacRumors. If, to you, juicy gossip involves cool new widgets rather than the first ever photos of Suri Cruise, these sites are right up your alley. Of course, these are mainly for the Mac users out there, but the rumors are juicy enough to appeal to even the most die-hard PC user.
Pets: Dogster and Catster. Ever worry that others will think you're weird for talking 'for your cat'? Not on these sites! They've got great forums for everything from health care to pet fashion! Speaking of...have you been to the Ebates Pet Stores page?
- Just for Fun: Dooce, Perez Hilton, The Superficial. If you haven't read the Dooce background story, she was "Dooced" (fired for writing about work on her blog) from a certain big-name web startup whose name she won't reveal. Since then, she has become a stay at home mom and one of the most popular bloggers in the blogosphere. Perez Hilton and The Superficial are both pure guilty pleasure celebrity gossip blogs- why pay for US Weekly when you can get fresh juicy gossip every day for free?

I know I've said it before, but I love Target! No longer a tawdry den of puffy-painted abominations, Target has revamped their image and offers affordable and stylish wares to impress even the most discerning discount shopper.
There's no better time to buy; today is Double Cash Back Tuesday at Ebates! When you buy from Target.com, you'll get 8% Cash Back!
If you want to save cash but stock up on unique, exotic home furnishings, then Target's Global Bazaar is a great option, especially if you're a Pier One or Cost Plus World Market shopper (neither has a Cash Back program). They've got cool pieces inspired by distant locales from South Asia to Eastern Europe, and you don't have to risk a case of Delhi Belly to get them!
They've got a cute new line of women's apparel called "Paul and Joe" which features french-inspired fashions geared toward younger women. If you're not sure you can pull off the green houndstooth miniskirts, then check out the ever-popular line by Isaac Mizrahi!
To top it all off, Target is offering free shipping for a limited time on all bed and bath items and on women's apparel if you spend $50 or more!

There are lots of reasons to like American Eagle Outfitters. Not only are they a merchant catering to the under-30 crowd who actually clothe their models (unlike a certain competitor), they recognize that people come in a whole rainbow of colors and choose their models based on this revolutionary notion ( unlike...well, you know the rest)! Who knew that Western European ancestry isn't a pre-req for wearing polo shirts and trendy layering tops?
Off the soapbox, American Eagle is doing Free Shipping on orders of $100 or more! There's nothing better than jeans and a comfy sweater for sitting in class, so why not get 'em from American Eagle?
This deal will last until August 27th, so head on over and get those last minute basics for back-to-school. Just use discount code 78965027 at checkout.

This is one of the best back-to-school deals I've seen so far! Best Buy has put together a Dorm Room Package that includes a mini-fridge, television and 
microwave for $199!
This deal is so popular that it's backordered for a week or two.
Here's the low down on the goods:
- Avanti 1.7 Cu. Ft. Compact Thermoelectric Refrigerator: This cute little fridge holds just enough to keep your room stocked with cool drinks, and is big enough to hold a 2-liter bottle of of Jarritos. Or Sprite. Because that's what you drink in college.
- Insignia 20" Flat Tube TV: So, technically it's not a flat screen TV, it's a flat tube TV... but the screen just looks flat. Best Buy describes it this way: "Flat picture tube produces vivid images without the glare and picture distortion common with curved picture tubes." Whatever you want to call it, it's a pretty darn slick looking TV for the price.
- Proctor Silex .6 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave: Just think- with a microwave in your dorm, you can practically bury yourself in mountains of Easy Mac! They don't tell you this in high school, but that's what college really is all about: creamy, delicious Easy Mac. Ramen is so '90's.

According to Wikipedia, "'Flea season' is traditionally at the end of summer and in the early fall, but in warmer areas can last year round." For anyone that has a carpet or knotty old wood floor, you know how futile this battle can be! They lay their eggs in the carpet, bite you when you're sleeping and drive your cat or dog into violent scratching fits that make their legs go like this for hours! The little blood-suckers are more stubborn than Mariah Carey's backstage demands. There are myriad ways to keep your cat or dog flea and tick free, but how do you know which way is safest?
The East Bay SPCA says that "flea collars, powders and sprays are ineffective and are not recommended. DO NOT use anymedication or flea-killing agent not recommended by your veterinarian". In fact, on the insistence of the Environmental Protection Agency, Hartz, a popular brand for flea and tick preventives, "has agreed to cancel uses of several flea and tick products that may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, including hair loss, salivation, tremors, and numerous deaths in cats and kittens." It's comforting to know that the EPA has steppedup on this issue. Hopefully Hartz will be able to develop non-toxic alternatives to their current line of flea and tick control products.
The widely reputed safe alternative to flea collars and drops is Advantage topical solution. Highly effective and veterinarian-recommended, Advantage has become one of the most popular methods offlea control for dogs and cats. The East Bay SPCA supports it, saying "Advantage works best for fleas". This kind of effectiveness, however, doesn't come cheap. If you buy Advantage from your veterinarian, you can end up paying hundreds of dollars for a several-month supply (especially if you have multiple cats or dogs)!
If you haven't visited the Pet Stores page at Ebates, take a moment to peruse the deals! You can find great bargains on Advantage that will likely be a lot cheaper than the prices offered by your vet. Most of these stores offer Cash Back through Ebates. Be sure to look at the coupons for each store to compare prices!:
- 1-800-Petmeds: 10% Cash Back
- PETCO.com: 8% Cash Back
- PETsMART Coupons Only
- drugstore.com 5% Cash Back
These are the dogs and kitties of Ebates staffers- click on each one to see a different deal on Advantage! |

So what if I spent my entire weekend watching Queer as Folk? This is about poultry, people!
If you're looking for a new pair of running shoes and you're hoping to do a little more globe-trotting than marathoning, then why not get your new kicks from Le 
Coq Sportif? They're cooler than similar shoes from Puma or Gola, because no one will know what brand of shoes you're wearing. Imagine how baffled people will be when you lift up the leg of your Diesel jeans to reveal a proud and colorful rooster! You can say you picked them up in some quaint little boutique in Montmarte!
The best part is that this is one chicken the masses haven't devoured, so they are often on sale. Eastbay has a Pick Your Price sale right now, and you'll find lots of Le Coq Sportif sneakers for $29.
