How I Reached My New Year’s Resolutions Without Breaking The Bank

My friends and I made a pact this year that we all need to spend less and save more—except we also decided that we need to be more interesting people, like read more, travel more and be more cultured. Isn’t that the ultimate struggle? How can you be an interesting person while also saving money? Being interesting is just so expensive.

Well I always knew I had awesome friends but listen to this, we figured out a solution…or really Amanda figured it out. She told us about Ebates, this awesome cash back shopping portal that has 2500+ partners, including Amazon, Sephora and Macy’s. How does it work? It’s simple. Stores pay Ebates to do their thing, and then Ebates applies the best deals available at checkout, and pays you directly as you shop — they send a check in the mail or drop it directly into your PayPal account. It’s that easy. Here’s how to become a more interesting person with Ebates:

Step 1:

Discover that Ebates partners with Barnes & Noble and start a book club using the New York Times Best Sellers list.

Step 2:

Find out that Ebates partners with TicketMaster and StubHub, get tickets to Tony-Award winning play, Angels in America, for culture and Frozen on Ice for fun—it was a blast!

Step 3:

Jump for joy when you realize that Ebates partners with Expedia and Marriott Hotels, coordinate 4 busy friends’ schedules and book a delicious weekend getaway in the dead of winter to Costa Rica.

Whether your resolution is to become a more cultured person or to just save some more money, Ebates has got you covered. It’s free to join, and Ebates will give you a $10 welcome bonus here for a limited-time!
