As useful as Ebates is, it does have its limits - not every online store will be on there, not even all the major ones. But this doesn't mean you have to pay full price on your purchases! Before you check out, do a quick Google search for coupons and promo codes to see if there are any discounts floating out there on the Internets.
Whenever I search, the site that seems to come up in the first few results is Retailmenot.com. These sites can all be hit-or-miss, but this one is good because it allows users to rate coupon codes based on their reliability, and add comments (users often add comments noting that it worked on xx/xx/xx date).
The codes come from a variety of sources, and are good for dollars off, free shipping, gifts with purchase, and the like. It never hurts to check, especially if you're like me and paying extortionate shipping rates kills your soul. I just knocked $3 off my Threadless order, which made the shipping, you know, almost reasonable.
