You know that I am a lover of online shopping because it is very convenient for a busy worker bee. Between home life and work life, the last thing I want to do is be in-store shopping. I always wished that I would be paid to shop. Well, my wish has come true! I mean who wouldn’t wish for that. Making money while you are spending money. It is a win-win for all.
What is even better is being able to donate to a charity as well. When I heard that I can make money and donate at the same time. I had to give it a try. Giving Assistant does just that! Giving Assistant provides you with both options. You have complete control on who you want to donate to and the percentage of your cashback money will go to the company. Here is how it works:
Now it is time to shop! Simply type in the search box for your favourite stores. I couldn’t believe that they even have my latest guilty online shopping site GearBest.com. Since I was going to shop there anyway, I figured why not give it a try plus they offer 7.5% cashback. You can also find awesome coupon codes on the page which is perfect for when you’re done your shopping.
If you are curious on what I bought, you will be happy to know what I did not go overboard. I bought myself and my mom a few items. First things first, is we both desperately needed an organiser for our purses. I recently bought a new purse for work and hate that fact that I can’t find a single thing. Next, I bought myself a tripod for my camera. I have the light equipment but have no tripod and the price was right. Lastly, I bought my mom a watch similar to a Fitbit. She likes mine so I figured, why not get her one too!. With this purchase, I am donating a $1.00 to Autism Cares.
There are so many stores to explore such as Esty who offers 2% cashback, Walmart who offers 4% on standard items and 1% on Electronics, Video Games, Movies, Music, Books and Photo and Groupon who offers 6% cashback just to name a few.
I really enjoyed using Giving Assistant. It is such a creative idea of bringing both making money and giving money together in one spot. It is very simple and easy to use. It is definitely a site I will keep using.
