You're missing out on cash back.

Ebates pays you to shop at Macy's, Amazon, Walmart, Sephora, Petco and 2500+ other stores you love!

We all love getting a good deal shopping online, but we don't want to spend hours searching for the same product on multiple sites to find the lowest prices, or searching third-party websites to get coupons and special offers. That's why Ebates was a game changer for me. Not only does Ebates find and apply coupons automatically when you check out at pretty much all your favorite stores and travel sites, but they also give you cash back--just for shopping!

Ebates is an online shopping marketplace that gives shoppers a hassle-free way to save money on the things they buy anyway. It's simple: stores pay Ebates to do their thing, and then Ebates applies the best deals available at checkout, and pays you directly when you shop, it's that easy. Ebates features over 2,500 stores, including Amazon, Expedia, Kohl's, and Sephora.

Once I heard about Ebates, I was immediately drawn in. I downloaded the free app and got signed up, and was amazed by how quick and simple it was. I was getting deals, still earning points on my credit card, and was literally seeing the cash back build up in my account. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Download the free app on your phone to get started.

Step 2: Shop as usual on the app! You can search by your favorite stores, or see Ebates' special weekly deals where all stores will show their coupons and cashback offers that week.

Step 3: When you checkout, Ebates will apply any coupons and promotions automatically. Watch your cash back grow in your Ebates account and get paid.

Last month, I bought a vacation on Expedia through Ebates and got 10% cash back on the package. That purchase put $300 in my PayPal account! But even the small stuff adds up too. Sellers on Amazon offer different cash back options, and I normally reel in $10 each time I buy something there. Shopping online at high-end retailers like Saks, Barney's, Neimans, Gilt, and Nordstrom Rack gets me even more cash back, with no exclusions! You name it, and you can make a small fortune just by doing your usual shopping with Ebates. It's fast, it's free, and it's for sure the best way to get rewarded for shopping!

If you're stuck in an unhealthy eating pattern, you're certainly not alone. When life gets busy, it becomes difficult to find time to prepare healthy meals. Heck, half the time I'm so hungry when I get home from work, I'll grab the first thing I see in my fridge, and I'm proud if I bother to even put it on a plate. When there's nothing left to eat, I resort to ordering online, but that gets really expensive…and caloric! I couldn't seem to break the cycle, until I got a little help from what I discovered to be an awesome service.

My friend Lauren told me how much she loved HelloFresh, the meal-making delivery service that caters to busy people looking to make fresh and healthy meals without the chore work. Once I signed up, it got me to stop making excuses and start cooking delicious home cooked dinners that completely changed my life.

HelloFresh allows you to select 3 meals from their updated menu each week. They then send you prepackaged fresh ingredients delivered locally in a refrigerated box. I'm a big fish, meat and veggie eater, but they've got vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options each week too. One of my favorite meals was a juicy sirloin steak with red cabbage, Balsamic-Cranberry Pan Sauce and Yukon potatoes (which I learned to slice in 1-inch thick wedges to make steak fries), It came with everything – right down to the last sprig of rosemary – and even included mustard seeds to sprinkle on the red cabbage.

HelloFresh does a great job at making the whole experience enjoyable and convenient: step-by-step instructions with tons of photos, and simple recipes that turn into delicious meals with just a touch of something special I probably wouldn't have thought to add. My HelloFresh delivery comes to my door each week with 3 meals ready to go packed in slim boxes that fit perfectly in my fridge. On top of HelloFresh's food being health-conscious and delicious, it's a fun cooking experience, and allows me to get a home cooked meal on the table in only 30 minutes.

It feels like I'm doing things the right way, but for once it's actually easy. I love flipping veggies in a pan while listening to music and making the house smell like home cooking. HelloFresh has even helped me kick my snacking habit before dinner. Now, instead of snacking while waiting on a Seamless delivery, I'm in the kitchen enjoying the fun parts of cooking. The energy in my kitchen is now a lot more positive, and having the house smell like home cooking is just a wonderful feeling.
