One positive thing I can say about shopping online is that I only get what I need. Since I am not wandering the aisles of Target or Walmart, there is NO threat I will throw something in the cart I just can't resist. The joy of shopping online at Walmart is they deliver most items in two days - right to the door - so I don't have to carry anything to my car. I can just lug it into the house - So I can buy the ginormous size of Tide and Downy! And of course we can't forget Amazon!
But the BEST thing about shopping online is EBATES. If you shop online and are not using EBATES, then all I can say is Your LOSS! I don't remember how or why I signed up - it was free - and I know I didn't actually use the site at first. When I actually LOOKED at the site I realized they listed ALL the stores I shop at - so if I was going to actually shop at Walmart, why not let EBATES pay me? So I gave it a try and the next thing I know I got an email saying money was added to my account. They put money into a Paypal account for me since I didn't want a check mailed. YAY!
AND - they even offer you money to shop in certain stores - all you have to do is link up your credit card and you will get paid.
Now I have an extension added to my Chrome browser that will automatically come up whenever I am on a site that is connected to EBATES. All I have to do is click on the activate now and it will log in my "shopping trip".
The great part about money going into a Paypal account for me is that it's become a savings account of sorts - I don't touch it. Since March of 2017 I have earned $160.00 while sitting on my ass shopping! No gas used, didn't have to wait in any lines, and didn't have any "impulse" buys.
As an added incentive they pay me for everyone who signs up and gives the new account $10.
So - if you do shop online and aren't using Ebates I guess you have all the money you need. Otherwise - shame on you!
