I am a regular frugal online shopper and I regularly use cash back websites like FatWallet, AAfter Search, Bing, and ShopAtHome along with the recommended ones.

In reference to the current topic...I have 7 children and have 2nd hand shopped as long as I can remember. My husband and I run a not for profit thrift store near Kenosha, WI. The proceeds further the gospel of Jesus Christ. We support missionaries on a monthly basis, short/long term mission trips, gospel centered church plants etc. We play K-Love in the store and backroom...We do community service and Sherrifs Department Work Crew programs and when they come in to serve their time they often make a comment like I am not going to be stuck listening to Christian Music am I? By the end of their sentence they are even singing the words and innitiate God questions...very cool...my advice..wherever you shop/donate...ask where your money goes...God Bless!

Cheap stuff, often as not name brand. Sometimes new with tags still attached.

Great advise. There are other great cash back sites out there besides the two that you mention. They all vary in the amount you get back per merchant. It's best to compare the cash back sites using www.cashreporter.com

Word for word what I do--so of course this is a great column.
