There was a time when I rarely shopped online. But, these days I find that it is just soooooo much easier than dragging three kids around. I miss those days of shopping as a single. I have always been a bargain hunting comparison shopper. I love the thrill of the hunt! But, with three kids? Forget it. It's just not like it used to be, lol. All the whining, begging, bouncing, chasing and potty shuffling just seem to spoil the fun, so I have come to have a real appreciation for online shopping.
When I shop, I love to use mypoints. If you haven't signed up you should. You earn points for reading emails, taking short surveys and shopping through their site. You can even earn points for your internet searches by downloading the mypoints toolbar. I generally earn enough for 3-4 $25 gift cards per year. And I really don't shop that frequently either. I just buy the things I would normally be purchasing anyway (contacts, pet meds, holiday gifts). I love mypoints.
Today I discovered another great resource for online shopping - hooray! It's freeshipping.org. Stop by and you'll find a listing of online sites that offer free shipping. Cool huh? I'll never shop again without checking. Plus, for many sites, you can just grab the coupon code and then shop through mypoints to get your points...chaching! Then you can use your mypoints gift cards to shop online again, get free shipping and earn more points!! Cha Cha Ching! Can't beat that with a stick, huh?
I love good deals like this. Of course I had a credit card stolen via using it on the internet so I am very shy about doing this now. It is one of those things I will get over in time but it was a stressful thing for me.
