            You may not realize it, but in the retail world we are already in the “Christmas Season”.  Turns out that starts mid September…  In the deal world though, I would say that we are always in the season.  Saving on presents and gifts is so much easier when you see things throughout the year and grab them at amazing prices.

            One other side to saving on things though, is making sure you are taking full advantage of online cashback opportunities!  As you shop online, you can be saving a small percentage on every order when you use a cashback program.  They are free to use, and honestly there is no reason not too!

            With online shopping these small percentage can add up quickly.

            Lets say you spend:

            $100 on Amazon for gifts
            $50 at OldNavy.com
            $30 at BooksAMillion.com
            $100 at Groupon (daily deals can make awesome presents)
            $40 at The Sports Authority

            That in the end would get you $9.10 back in cashback in your Ebates account.  It may not seem like a lot, but in reality it’s money you are just throwing away by not using a program!

            That amount can skyrocket if you are traveling for the holidays.  Plan ahead and book online and you’ll get cashback from many sites on airfare, hotel rooms etc.

            Oh… and the best part… you can still use coupon codes to save on your purchases.  This is just icing on the cake!

            There are two main programs for cash back… my favorite is Ebates because it is the easiest to earn a check on.  You get $5 saved up from various purchases and they will send you a check.  They mail checks quarterly, so you should never have a problem hitting $5.  Shopathome.com is another large company offering cashback, they are the same except they only send checks when you have $20 saved up (much harder for most of us frugal folks to hit).

            If this all seems Greek to you, watch a video I did explaining it all:

              If I go in my girls bathroom I’ll find at least 6 toothbrushes at any time… sadly I only have 3 kids that have teeth to brush.  My girls have a love for all things teeth.  We are probably one of the only families that flosses every night and will have kids wake up in the middle of the night and floss if they forgot.  Yeah, I know we’re weird.

              Because of our crazy love for oral hygiene, we’ve partnered with Sunstar GUM to bring you guys a chance to win some new products!  Sunstar GUM believes that when you have healthy gums, you have a healthy life and they back that up with quality products. Their mission is to enhance the health and well-being of people everywhere through its four business areas: mouth and body, health and beauty, healthy home and safety & technology.

              GUM sent me some products to try out for myself, and on of my favorites is the Crayola Flossers.  It’s dental floss that comes in easy to handle shapes, and a tasty grape flavor.  We were already slightly addicted to flossing, by flavored floss has only made this worse better.  They also sent a  Timer Light Toothbrush which is ideal for my 4 year old.  She knows how to brush, but doesn’t usually stick with it as long as she should each night.  This flashes a light for two minutes and she knows to stop when the light stops blinking.

              Don’t worry, GUM has flossers and toothbrushes for adults, too!

              Since I know we’re all constantly in search of a good deal, GUM has a discount for Southern Savers readers!  Use the code 1012SS for 15% off and free shipping on order over $15.
