Are You Getting Paid To Back-To-School Shop? Even For Computers, Netbooks & Dorm Furniture?

As a Mom of three with two girls still in school that are totally fashion conscious I have to be a savvy shopper. Not only do they have differing tastes, one is "HotTopic" girl and the other is more feminine, but I have to make them understand how to stretch a wardrobe. I've always tried to guide their fashion choices but this year with "jeggings" and tunics being the popular thing I'm sure they'll need a few key pieces to mix and match. This year more than ever, I am strategizing to get the most from our purchases and getting paid for all of it is key!

Our favorite stores have a website that I've got online accounts with so that I get their weekly sales updates and other incentives and thankfully they are all in the Market America webportal partnership program so that I get extra savings. The updates in the Hot Deals tab also gives me the latest coupons for discounts plus the company itself pays me as a customer with varying cashback amounts and as an independent UnFranchise distributor with points toward commissions. It's a Win-Win!! 

Some of my top online shopping sites on the portal for Back-To-School are: Old Navy, Staples, Sears, Kmart, Target, HotTopic (for "school" clothes LOL) and of course the big kahuna, Walmart. And sometimes Kohls, Walgreens and The Children's Place too. The only one that's missing from my regular shopping list is CVS but they don't have an affiliate program, but I can get gift cards from GiftCertificates.com via the portal and at least get IBV points. I have shopped Drugstore.com in the directory instead of them for that stuff. We're not in the market for any netbooks or computers yet but if I was this would be the place to get go!! Last year I snagged a netbook and laptop for great prices online and picked them up at the stores.

The biggest advantage for this month is Walmart offering MA Customers 2% cash back via the MA site!! This is groundbreaking news since they don't do that for anyone but since it's Market America's incentive for customers and they are our top online partner next to HomeDepot and Travelocity, they must have considered testing it out to see if it boosts the results even higher. And with the economy stalling and no real recovery in sight I'm sure it'll be a well appreciated bonus for smart shoppers. Getting a computer from Walmart can also be an extra savings with 2% cash back! I know I'm taking advantage of the "college dorm 2010" deals for furniture and organizing and already have items in my cart waiting to check out!  

Time to get going....more later!
