4. How to get cash back if you shop online

Online shopping can save you from going out in the rain or snow to pick up essentials, and it also can help you deliver that last-minute birthday gift. But don’t just spend money while shopping online — be smart about your spending.

Cash-back online portals such as Ebates and Swagbucks help you tap into rebates as you shop. It takes about 30 seconds to sign up, and then you’ll have access to cash rebates on goods from thousands of merchants. Or, load a browser extension such as Honey, which notices when you’re shopping and automatically tries known coupon codes to see if it can save you more.
