Christmas Shopping and Bing Cashback
I know I haven’t been blogging much lately; the job has been keeping me busy! I’ve had to work “off the clock” at odd hours to launch our Black Friday and (soon to be) Cyber Monday promotions. My schedule has been a bit hectic to say the least. Also, Tim injured his back on Friday so I have solo dog-walking duties and our plans to get a tree this weekend have been put off. Poor baby!
Tonight I am enjoying some retail therapy with some online holiday shopping. I’m making sure to take advantage of the Bing Cashback opportunities. Last year, I blogged about it back when Bing was called Live.com. Basically, how it works is that you use the Bing search engine to search for items you want to buy. Make sure you’re signed into your Bing Cashback account. Participating merchants will have a Bing Cashback icon next to the search results which means Microsoft will give you a small percentage back of what you spend with that merchant. Last year, I got a total of $164.29 back that was deposited right into my bank account! Took about 45 days after my purchases, but it was well worth it!
The big thing last year was 30% Cashback on eBay plus an extra 10% if you use PayPal. That’s a huge discount and I sure took advantage! Right now, I only see 10% back on eBay but it’s better than nothing. They also have 15% on Walmart which is pretty sweet. I make sure to shop around and take into account shipping costs and taxes minus any potential cashback before purchasing. I also have an eBates account so sometimes I can get double cashback! 
I am trying to be very frugal this year and so far I have gotten most of my shopping done and I’m not spending that much at all. Yay for the internet!
