Ok… I know, I know. 

I’ve already posted a WFMW today with links to my favorite online shopping sites (ones that completely support home-based businesses).  But it suddenly occured to me that with all of the online shopping sites being promoted by Mr. Linky at the Rocks In My Dryer WFMW tip page, there is one place you should always go before you shop online!

www.FatWallet.com

FatWallet is an online tool / community / forum / wiki all rolled into one.  It provides the best up-to-date information about online coupons, forums where people share hot deals they have found, plenty of discount codes, tips on how to get things for free.

They also have a dedicated “online stores” section where links to corporate shopping sites (such as staples, photoworks, and even American Eagle!) offer cash back percentage on EVERY order.  Some companies even give a cash reward (such as $10 for first time orders), which means “profit to you!” if your order cost is only a few dollars in the first place!

To make this site work for you, sign up for a free membership account.  Then, whenever you are in need to “shop” for something (anything!) go to fatwallet first, ensure that you are signed in, then search their list to see what cash back offers they have.  Click on the desired link - you’ll then be taken to the site you were going to go to in the first place (i.e. Banana Republic), but now when you order, you’ll be given a cash back discount which will appear in your FatWallet account within 30 days.  It will be “on hold” at first (to protect FatWallet from losing money on product returns to the original company) and it usually takes 2-3 months for the hold to be released.  After the hold is released, you can request a direct deposit or check to be sent to you for the amount in your FatWallet account!

If the company you are wanting to buy from, or the product you need, is not in their cash back list, head over to the forums and do a “search” for the product you are looking for a discount on.  Someone in the forum probably has some valuable information for you!  The forums also hold great tips on current credit card / bank promotions (i.e. $100 bonus for signing up for ABC Checking..or whatever!).  In-store deals are also discussed on how to make the best use of paper coupons.

So what are you waiting on?  Head over to www.FatWallet.com and sign up.  Then don’t forget to go there first before shopping anywhere online!  You’ll save money every time.

Here is a list of current companies that offer cash back from every order that is generated from FatWallet users!
