I love shopping online and I’m always determined to get the best price; however, that can be a daunting task. There are so many websites making the claim that they can save you money, but many are not up-to-date and you’ll waste time shopping with outdated coupons and offers. 

I’ve found a couple of sites that can be counted on to deliver – both savings and cash back!  One of my favorites is FatWallet.com.  The concept is simple – log onto Fat Wallet, click on a retailer’s link, complete your order, and in a few weeks the percentage of cash back promised is deposited into your account, ready to be withdrawn at your convenience by check or PayPal.  For even deeper savings, Fat Wallet tracks current sales and provides additional special offers and coupons for many of the retailers. Be careful though, if you use a coupon other than the one provided by Fat Wallet, the retailer may cancel out your Fat Wallet cast back savings.

FatWallet has been around for years and I’ve come to rely on them for up-to-date information and a great shopping experience.  So much so that when I recently designed some post cards to send out  I went straight to Fat Wallet to research printers.  I found a great offer from VistaPrint whom I’ve used before and been pleased with the quality.  Not only did I use a 50% off coupon, but by shopping through the Fat Wallet link I received an additional $9.60 in cash back (12%)! 

FatWallet has an active savings community and specials and deals from all over the Internet are posted by members in the forums for everyone to share.  The community is very helpful and friendly and I’ve found some fabulous deals by reading the forums. 

Do I always shop through Fat Wallet? No! I have other sites that I use that I’ll be sharing with you over the next few weeks and percentage off and special offers change constantly, so before shopping any retailer I check all of my favorite cash back and coupon websites to see if they offer a better deal.  Additionally, while Fat Wallet offers a great number of retailers, it’s not uncommon for me not to find the retailer I’m shopping with available. 

You can knock down prices to save money on your purchases with a little planning and a few minutes of research. I recommend you sign up for FatWallet.com and start saving!
