Got a Penny? Turn it into $10 with Ebates!

Credit goes to Jennifer at www.imommies.com for finding this incredible deal!

Here's what you do:
1. Click here to sign up for ebates.com Ebates is a shopping portal that gives you cash back for purchases you make online. (If you feel so inclined you can use my email address adh913@yahoo.com as the friend who referred you :)
2. After you create your account, click on the "all stores" link and locate Petsmart.com. It is under the Pets category.
3. Once you get to Petsmart, enter 2811431 in the search box. It should take you to a page with dog and cat wrapping paper. This paper is now just $.01 per sheet.
4. Order as much or as little wrapping paper as you'd like.
5. Proceed to checkout. Shipping will be FREE!
6. Pay your pennies and then on May 15th Ebates will mail you a check for $10 for signing up and making a purchase! It will be a nice surprise for Mother's Day!

I have used Ebates in the past and they really do send out the checks!

If you already have an ebates account you can open up a new account under someone else in your household. This is totally legit because it says "Only one new account per household"; not "only one account per household". At least that's my take on it!

I tried this earlier today and the item number no longer seems to exist? Got to act fast on great deals like this one! : ) Thanks for the tip. By the way, I live in Florida too and your site has helped me specifically for deals in this area - thank you! My Winn Dixie is a bit of a drive from here, unfortunately, 2 nearby have closed down in the past year. I'm wondering where you get your $5/20 or so on a purchase there? I'd like to use one at Publix, but not sure if I need to sign up on their mailing list or something? I did get a store card, just seldom get in there unless it's a great deal. Thank you for your help. Hope your enjoying your "time off" with your new baby girl. So precious! : )
