Rebates = Savings

Every couponer will tell you that couponing saves you money. However, you usually won't hear a couponer say that rebates save you money. While, rebates will not save you instant money, in turn giving you instant gratification, you will in the long run save money.

Rebates allow an individual to purchase a product and request reimburstment. The maufacturer of the product will usually provide you with a form to fill out return to them along with the proof of purchase (a receipt or piece of the label containing the barcode). There is usually a 4-8 week time frame in which the company processes your rebate and then mails you a check for the cost of the item.

Not many people want to spend the time to fill out the rebate form and then mail them in however these rebate checks are perfect to deposit directly into a savings account. $3 here and there may not seem like a lot but continue depositing these into a savings account and see your fund continue to grow.

Rebates are turning up left and right with the holidays right around the corner. I have included some links for common items purchased that have rebates available right now. I will keep you posted on more to come.
