How to Get Actual Cash Back on Everyday Purchases

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well!

With the big shopping season upon us, I want to share my favorite way to save money with you, that actually works.

It's called Rakuten. You may have seen their ads on TV or social media and wondered if it's real.

Let me tell you, it is.

My husband and I have been using Rakuten to get cash back every quarter for over 10 years, it really works.

Even better? When you sign up for FREE with my referral code you get an additional $40 welcome bonus on your first qualified purchase plus the percent cash back that is available at the time!

I've tested this with a friend of mine and it is legit, we both got $30 back when she joined and used Rakuten!

Now through December 8th you can get a $40 welcome bonus instead of the typical $30 on top of the % cash back from the store you're shopping at!

Just the other day I got $11.13 cash back on my Vitacost order because Rakuten raised the cash back from 3% to 11%!

Get ready for this to happen a lot this time of year!

Want to get started now? Click the button to sign up with Rakuten now!

Have a great week!!

Top essentials for a family beach day plus toddler and baby ideas

. Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well so far! Quick update: Last week, I emailed about lead in Tom's of Maine toothpaste. We got the results back from our kids' blood tests, and thankfully, they don't have lead poisoning, though they'd been using that toothpaste all their lives. We LOVE going to the beach, how about you? We'll be spending a lot of time at the beach this month so I thought I'd share these beach favs blog posts with you, full of our tried and true favorites. Family Beach...

PSA: Lead in Tom's of Maine Toothpaste

. Hi Reader, I hope you're doing well. This week's email is a PSA about a popular toothpaste that I recently happened to find out has lead in it. It is the kids' toothpaste that my kids have used their entire lives. 😡 I'm devastated and angry, to say the least. The toothpaste I'm specifically talking about is Tom's of Maine Kids' Natural Fluoride-Free toothpaste (the fluoride version has lead too...). Turns out, ALL Tom's of Maine toothpastes have dangerous amounts of lead in them. (Many...

I go more into it in the first blog post below, but for longer trips, we have our kids listen to kid-friendly podcasts that not only help them stay occupied and less distracting to us from the back seat, but also teach them things they're...
