Avoiding the Long Lines on Black Friday -- Double Back at Ebates

Several of you decided to not leave your recliner this year...and as someone who didnt even go to bed this year, I don't blame you at all.

SO...
If you're going to do your shopping online, make sure you get EVEN MORE money "off" of those great gifts, by getting money BACK online when you shop.

Use a shopping portal like eBates or Cashbaq. (it's easy & sometimes they even have an extra coupon code for you)

TODAY only get DOUBLE back at eBates. We're talking (another) 10% off at your store of choice.

I'm thinking that sounds a whole lot more better than never going to sleep last night, standing in line for 90 minutes for a DS game, or sitting in a line for 6 hours to get a line ticket.

Kohls, Shop BF Online NOW

Tightwad Sr just knocked out half of her shopping list.
How?
By shopping online right now at Kohls.

plus

My Shopping Trip "To" Old Navy

Yesterday, I spent my morning in the lines at Walmart. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't orchestrate a way to cash in on those $5 fleece, $15 jeans, etc., etc.

Yay for online shopping! I was able to take advantage of those Black Friday prices (& then some!)! Purchases of $50 or more got you FREE SHIPPING & because I shopped through eBates, I got another 10% off! --basically, I saved more than had I been in that OUTSIDE line with my friends who were nuts about the $5 fleece.
I got my boy new khakis (not really on sale), 2 LS shirts, a COAT, Tightwad Daddy a new outfit for Christmas (jeans & a SWEATER). My damage was $60. And I was in my recliner when I did it (unlike my friends who were at the store, OUTSIDE, at 2:30 am).

SUCCESS.

PS You have today to do the same thing!...O.N.'s sale ends today, as does the eBates 10% ON rebate.
