One of the most rewarding things to do is to get the best shopping deal you can online. Personally, I'm not one that likes to go shopping, so when I decide there is something I would like or need to get, I go online and check around for the best deals.

Something that I have found amazing that so few people seem to know about, is this website called "Fat Wallet". It's a place that you can go and easily compare the prices from one store to another, and best of all, the majority of them offer a cash back incentive for shopping through Fat Wallet.

You can still even use your regular incentive cards on top of the incentives you receive through this site and save quite a lump sum of money. Here's how it works.

You go to this site, and sign up, (no charge), and go to the cash back and coupon tab, (yes, they also have coupons!). There you will find up in the area of 2500, yes you read that right, retailers, and the majority of them will give you a cash back incentive to go through Fat Wallet.

When you find the site that you want to shop from, you click on it. A list of specials that the store is offering will come up, and you click the "shop now" button that is located on the same page. A little pop up page that keeps track of how much you spend at that store will come up, and you minimize it to your tray and keep on shopping.

You are now at that stores actual website. It's the exact same page as you will get if you went directly there. Say you clicked on 123 Inkjets, for instance, the same page comes up as if you went to www.123inkjets.com. You do your shopping as usual, and check out with 123 Inkjets, or any other retailer on there, using any promotions or coupons you have, as usual. You will get the same customer service, the same promotions, the same deals, the same everything.

Some stores don't have cash back, but most do. Some have special deals, some have a one time cash back for your first purchase of, let's say, $10.00, some have smaller cash backs, and some have quite large cash back incentives.

In any event, it doesn't cost anything to sign up with Fat Wallet, you can talk to other shoppers on their forums, learn about products, and make a tidy little bundle for shopping at the same places that you would be shopping anyway. Many of their stores are the same stores you would shop in anyway, such as Staples, Office Depot, Walmart, Wallgreens, etc., the list goes on and on.

Fat Wallet keeps track of how much you have earned from their site, and you can easily click on the link that takes you to your account and shows you how much you have earned. This is also where you request them to send you your check.

It's really that easy. Go to www.fatwallet.com, pick the store you want to shop from, shop as usual, check out, and when you are ready, request your check from Fat Wallet. You have a great place to compare price shopping, and get money back on the money you spend. What better way is there to shop online? Check Fat Wallet out. I think you will really enjoy it!
