Rebates can get you cash back but combined with coupons and or cash back programs you can really earn money to shop. The first thing you have to do is start a way to track your spending and rebate rewards. I suggest a spreadsheet to keep things in order. Some companies offer "rewards" that are similar to rebates and some offer both "rewards" and rebates.
Ink recycling rewards
Staples, Office Max and Office Depot all offer this type of reward for turning in your old ink toners or cartridges. Each program is different and I find that Staples is the easiest. They allow me to recycle 10 ink cartidges per month. They pay $3 per cartridge and sometimes offer double rewards! If you spend $1,000 a year, you can recycle 20 cartridges per month.
Now this may not sound like much but 10 cartridge at $3 each is $30 free to use in store. Staples also has rebates that make items cheap or free. This is how I work this one;
Recycle ink cartridges - rewards sent out monthly (must use them in store) ->
Use the rewards to buy rebate items ->
Buy rebate items (cheap or free after rebate) ->
Get rebate checks that pay me to shop!
If you shop online, always use a cash back program to maximize your deal shopping. Programs like Bing, mypoints and ebates all pay cash back for making purchases through their links. Read the fine print - some cash back programs do not allow you to use a coupon code and some do. Research before you chose which one you will use.
