My Addiction

I am addicted to saving money. I like to think that I'm not one of those people who spends money to save money, and I think this is generally true. Approximately 90 percent of my non-food shopping is done online, mostly because I can't tolerate visits to our local mall.

My most recent online orders have been a set of guest towels (actually, TWO full sets, of organic towels for $40 including shipping), and a belt for Sweetie because he left his beloved, reversible, Mont Blanc belt in a hotel room recently (and not surprisingly, the cleaning staff did not report it as being found...).

My most favorite shopping sites are bargain fashion sites. But I should tell you all about www.ebates.com. Go there. Register. And remember to go there first whenever you want to shop on any one of many hundreds of different websites. You will get a percentage CASH back (well, actually a check). I've been using ebates for about a year, and have saved about $50 already. Of course, the MOST popular online shopping sites, like Amazon, are not on ebates, but soooo many ARE.

Happy shopping!
