Hafa Adai!

On an earlier blog, Captain J mentioned smart shopping through Ebay. I am here to show you how to earn money while shopping! (Sounds unreal, doesn’t it?) It is a website you must first log into, and find a following link to your favorite shop. (e.g. oldnavy.com, clothes.com, Ebay.com) Each and everytime you shop, you earn back a percentage of the amount you spent. Of course, the percentage varies from shop site to shop site. I prefer to use the website to link me to Ebay. When the website links me to Ebay, I buy what I want. When I do, I get 20% back!

Let’s say I buy a small laptop on Ebay for $400.00.  — 20% off of that amount equates to: $80.00 back!

Here it is, the wonderful website of refunded money you spend:


BIGCRUMBS.COM!

You can do the same with your friends, too. Go right on ahead and rake in your own money! More instructions are on the website so go have fun. :) However, remember not to spend your money carelessly. This is all about saving, saving smart, and spending wisely.

Kuri Update!
So far so good. I have managed to save up $23.00 into my ING Saving’s account! Now I have $477.00 to go! Even if I do have money in my account, I am far away from that goal of $500.00. I am trying my best with whatever I have. But sometimes I cannot resist the yummy taste of cheese fries, and the oh-so satisfying cold passion green tea. Oh, and I think I deserve a pat on the back because I totally didn’t stop by the dessert shop to buy cookies. (cookies I have been craving for since 8 in the morning!)

Can anyone say yummo?

    Awesome! Thanks for the great tip. Unfortunately, it won’t do me much good right now because I don’t have money to shop. But, I’ve bookmarked the website for possible future use, and I’ve also forwarded it along to friends and family members who would be able to use it now. I never of BigCrumbs before, but it sounds like works similar to UPromise with higher percentages of payback.
