could save me some money. (If you're interested in checking it out, click on the button, if you join you'll earn us both $5.00. I think. I'm new at this. :)
Anyway, I was very excited to see GapKids listed as one of the merchants on the ShopAtHome site. Double Score! I'd receive a 5% rebate on my purchase.
I went to GapKids, over-ordered (shut up, so NOT the point), and was feeling pretty good at all the money I had "saved".
Then, curiosity hit. You see, I also use Ebates.com to earn rebates on my shopping. In fact, it used to be all I used. Then, when I was taking advantage of the Office Max deal, I discovered ShopAtHome.com and since then, it seems like they always have the better deal.
Well, as I said, curiosity hit and I checked to see if GapKids was affiliated with Ebates also. They are. Only, Ebates offers a 10 % rebate.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Not only did I over-shop, I missed out on getting another 5% cash-back.
Moral of the story? Sign up for both ShopAtHome.com and Ebates.com and check both before you order. You never know which is offering the better deal.

I love e-bates... it really is a no-brainer to use one of these cash-back websites when ordering just about anything online these days!
Cute stuff at Gap, eh? Must go take a look!!
We don't have anything like that here. No coupons, no % off (except for occasional sales) and almost never any free postage. I guess there are more companies competing for customers in USA than there are here in Australia.
I don't know about those, but I do check out retailmenot before placing any orders. Quit beating yourself up, if you hadn't of messed up, I wouldn't know these other places to go to. Thank you for the tips!
