Adventures in Coupon Codes

As many of you know, shopping with 2 little ones is not always easy, especially if you have one who insists on walking and when you get to the check out line you find "extra" items in the cart.  Today as I was in Target; I think I completely destroyed both children's teeth as I fed them lollipop after lollipop in order to stay sane and get what I needed (please reserve judgement for giving the 1 year old a lollipop I got enough stares from other people who were whispering..."did you see that baby with a lollipop"). 

I usually do most of my shopping online (although the Target clearance draws me about every 3 or 4 weeks and I just can't resist!!).  I do not buy anything online however, without a coupon code.  Where do I get these little gems you might ask.  I have several favorite sites although you can "Google" the store and put the words coupon code after it to find your specific coupon code too (i.e. gap coupon code).  The sites I use most frequently are;

I also usually shop through Ebates.com.  Ebates is a cash back site that is free to join and free to use. Once you sign up you will be able to begin earning immediately.  When you are ready to shop, you just type in the store you will be shopping at.  It will bring up the store and tell you what % you will get back.  The site will also let you know about any coupon codes available. Then, just click through to the store from the Ebates site and shop like your normally do –  and when you buy something you earn cash back in your account.  I love Ebates and they often run different cash back deals on different stores weekly.  It is definitely something you want to check out and right now you can get a $10 gift card just for joining.  This is my referral website (http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=WzjfX%2F%2BHRVJBvkaA65wCKA%3D%3D) , and I would love it if you used this to sign up for your account, but don't feel obligated to do so...Happy Shopping!!
