Just a quick reminder that we’ve partnered with Ebates to give one lucky reader $150 cash!
Entering is so easy! You just have to be a member of Ebates, which is free to join and will give you cash back for your online purchases. I don’t understand how there are only 72 entries. This is $150 cash, folks!
**It has been brought to my attention that there was some confusion about the rules and leaving email addresses in comments. Please note that you do NOT need to leave your email address in a comment. If you sign up for a Livefyre account (takes 2 seconds and they’ll never email you), your email address will AUTOMATICALLY be attached to your comment on the back-end of things. Only I will have access to your email address. Just make sure you sign up using your registered Ebates email address.**
Ebates is my favorite cash back destination and as I’ve mentioned a few times, one of my very first posts on this site was an Ebates review. My love goes back a long way! And why not? Ebates offers you cash back when you shop online! All you have to do is register for Ebates and then start heading over there when you want to shop online and you’ll earn a percentage of your purchase total back! Getting cash back is like earning a little extra discount on top of whatever coupons you use.
If you haven’t yet registered for Ebates, you should definitely do so now for three reasons: 1. When you place your first $25 order at any store you’ll get a FREE $10 gift card from Ebates 2. Ebates is offering double cash back at a bunch of stores just in time for Mother’s Day and 3. You’ll NEED to be an Ebates member to enter our giveaway!
Before we get to the giveaway, however, you’re definitely going to want to check out the list of merchants offering double cash back right now! You can get 6% cash back at two of my favorite stores, J. Crew and Nordstrom. How about 6% back on top of all of the crazy sales Kohl’s has been having lately or 8% cash back at Sephora? Yeah.

Sears has a lot of fun things going on this holiday season! One of my favorites is the Sears Cheer Tree Mosaic, where real people (like you and me and not those fake people) have submitted photos of their holiday decorating, including their own Christmas trees, house decorations, and more. It’s fun to get a peek at what other people are doing since I’m usually in need of all of the inspiration I can get!
Even better is the fact that you can also find deals hidden within the Cheer Tree! New 30-50% off discounts are unlocked each day!
Also – nestled at the very top of the page is a coupon that will immediately get you $5 off any $50 Christmas order at Sears! Christmas orders include trees, ornaments, decor, and more. These items are already marked down up to 50% off! While it’s maybe a little late to begin the decorating at this point, it’s never too early to start saving up for next year.
Want to participate in the Sears Cheer Tree Mosaic? Just click Add Me to upload a photo of your own holiday decorations to become part of the Cheer Tree!
Giveaway:
One lucky person will win a $25 Sears Gift Card!
To enter, you must upload a photo of your own holiday decor to the Sears Cheer Tree Mosaic! Then, share the link through Twitter or Facebook with friends. Then, leave us a comment below letting us know that you’ve shared the Sears Cheer Tree Mosaic love!
This giveaway will remain open through December 23, 2011. One winner will be randomly selected.
Good Luck!
Disclosure: Sears provided me with a gift card for posting about the Sears Cheer Tree Mosaic, but all opinions expressed above are my own.
Are you familiar with sneakpeeq? I remember checking them out when they first launched, and then I forgot about them. This isn’t a slight – I just forget about everything when it’s not in front of my face these days. I’m so glad they contacted me a few days ago because now I’m kind of obsessed with their site.
Sneakpeeq is a shopping site. Each day you get 20 “peeqs” that allow you to check out new items. In the short time I’ve been using sneakpeeq I’ve discovered a couple of new companies. I’ll let sneakpeeq tell you how they work in-depth:
From exciting new products by brands you already love, to awesome products by brands that we know you’ll love (once you meet them), sneakpeeq is your destination for discovery! Shop with us and share something amazing! Our mission is to bring you the undiscovered at scandalously low prices.
In addition to introducing all things you love, we’ve hidden tons of fun badges and price reducing rewards beneath the peeq button.
Additional discounts will be held individually in your account from the badges and rewards you unlock. The more you buy, share, love, and peeq, the more incentives and surprises you’ll receive. Spend them at anytime, and pay your special price for that thing you love. Check back often because we have new brands and products asking to be discovered daily!
Interested in checking out this new shopping platform? Wouldn’t it be even better if you could start out with a little bit of spending power in your pocket? Today’s your lucky day because Fantabulously Frugal has teamed up with sneakpeeq to offer everyone a chance to win!
When it comes to the Fantabulously Frugal/sneakpeeq giveaway, everybody wins! sneakpeeq is giving away 20% off your next purchase just for entering, plus a chance at the Grand Prize: a $50 sneakpeeq gift card to use on your favorite food, style and home products. A second place winner will receive a $25 sneakpeeq gift card. Five runners-up prize winners will receive a $10 gift card, which actually goes a long way in sneakpeeq’s amazingly low-priced boutiques!
That’s 7 winners!
Enter the giveaway by clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/uMOSZa and joining sneakpeeq today! There’s no form to fill out or anything. As long as you click through that link your entry will be tracked.
This giveaway will run through January 1, 2012 and all winners will be announced that week!
Good Luck!
We’ve got a super quick giveaway – just one day long and that day is today!
We’re giving away 2 Bonobos gift cards that will total $50, as well as a pair of Ox & Bull Trading Argyle Rectangle Cufflinks {$65 value}.
Guys or gals can enter, obviously, but I’m guessing the ULTIMATE winner is going to be a guy. {Not that I’m going to pick a guy to be a winner… winner picking will be completely random.}
One thing to note: The Bonobos gift cards expire December 31, 2011 so you’re going to want to HURRY to use them. If you want, I can even email the winner the gift card numbers and ship the cufflinks for quicker ordering power.
Want to enter this giveaway?
Leave a comment below telling me one thing you’re still shopping for this holiday season.
Giveaway ends when today ends. Winner will be randomly selected tomorrow!
