I tend to stick with online shopping when it comes to Black Friday. I don’t care for the in store crowds.
I enjoy online shopping!! I don’t like crowds or mean-spirited people! I’ve heard of Rakuten, but didn’t know very much about it-thank you for the info!
I really need to try this. I love saving money. I’m just very scatter brained and don’t know how often I’ll remember to use it ?
This sounds like a good opportunity
Love shopping online and will be looking at this
I’ve been wondering about using Ebates. I’ve seen commercials about them and it seems like a good way to save money.
I love shopping online. Shopping in store is okay if the price is right. I’m a bargain shopper and always looking for ways to stretch my dollar. I hope everyone has wonderful holiday season!

Thanks for all the information
I joined several years ago, and did not use them at all until the last 2-3 years. I always love shopping online, so was disappointed that I did not start using them earlier to be truthful! So far I have almost $400 that I have earned with them, and highly recommend them to family and friends, it is a great program to help you save money and get money back for your purchases.
I always use cashback sites when shopping online. I also, more or less, always shop online.
I love my ebates!

I have this and I love it. It will come in handy for getting cash back for the holidays
I love shopping online. I hate all the crowds in the stores.
Most likely I will shop online. However, if I see something in a store, that may change.
I haven’t used Ebates (Rakuten) in a long time. I might try it out again.
