If you are online as much as I am, you tend to start shopping online just because things tend to be cheaper than if you were to buy it in store, or if you are Canadian and are always paying a 20% -30% premium just because you live in Canada, you can save even more if you shop online if you manage to catch the dollar at a low point.
That being said, there’s no sense in spending more than you have to, even online.
Enter: Coupons and Cash backs!
Who doesn’t love a free discount that requires very minimal work?
The one site I found for this is Coupon Cactus.
Not only is it also open to Canadians, but it works a lot like Retailmenot whereby it has coupons and codes for thousands of stores, and you can even get cash back for almost all of them.
Me, I’d much prefer cash in my pocket over any other kind of points or discount program 😉
You just have to sign up for Coupon Cactus (free and easy), and you can earn extra cash if your friends refer to — up to 10% of the cash back that they earn, and it’s at no cost to them!
So if your friend bought something for $100, and they received a cash back of $3 (3% cash back), then you’d earn $0.30 on that.
It may not seem like a lot of money, but it adds up without you having to do any of the work.
The stores I’m interested in browsing right now are:
Benefit — 3% cash back — because I’ve been eying their liquid blush for some time now, and Sony Style Canada — 1.5% cash back but no coupon — I’ve been eying their laptops for a while now. My Dell is about to die, I can feel her wheezing and totally blacking out without notice, and it might be time for an upgrade.
Coupon Cactus — give a shot if you are in the market to buy something anyway, why not get a deal?
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
