How I Maximize my Holiday Budget with FreeShipping.com
The holiday season can be so much fun but it can also be a serious budget buster.
If you are trying to stick to a budget, it can definitely make your holiday shopping a bit more challenging. With 6 kids, including teen and tween boys who have a wish-list that seems to get more expensive every year, we’ve had to learn a few tricks to help us stay within budget. I’m so glad FreeShipping.com offered to sponsor this post so we can share a new way we found to stretch our holiday budget.
As far as my budget is concerned though, shopping online allows me to compare prices easier and find exactly what I want so I don’t have to worry about spending more than I was planning on.
I’ve gotten pretty good at finding the best deals online but this year I’m taking things a step further. I just discovered FreeShipping.com and I wish I had found it earlier because it would have saved me so much money, especially since they are offering 20% cash back from select retailers during the holidays!
FreeShipping.com is a membership site that not only offers you free shipping from over 1,000 retailers but also gives you cash back on all your purchases.
I love how easy the service makes shopping online. I love doing my shopping online but I’ll admit, there are a few issues that come up.
- The cost of shipping can add up.
- If you don’t like your purchase it can be frustrating to mail it back.
- Returning items you don’t want to keep can be expensive.
FreeShipping.com solves all of those problems. They cover shipping up to $10, as well as return shipping so you don’t have to worry about being out any money if you don’t like your purchase. They’ll even let you print out FedEx Ground® labels through the FreeShipping.com site so returns are super simple.
The benefits don’t stop there, though. Members also enjoy 10% cash back (20% from Nov 24-28 and Dec 16-18!), free shipping, free returns, price protection, money-saving coupons, and price comparison tools every day of the year. They’ll literally solve every one of your online shopping struggles.

Do a quick search for the retailer you want to shop through.
I searched for Walmart because I knew they were one of the retailers offering 20% back during their Black Friday. Since I was already planning on buying some things from my kids’ holiday wish-list there
Your store will come up with any additional information you need to know before you shop.
Click “Visit Store” to start shopping.
Search for the item on your list.
I found the dollhouse I’d had my eye on for my girls for quite a bit cheaper than I’d seen it other places. On top of that, I knew I was getting free shipping and an extra 20% cash back!
When you shop through the portal, cash back is automatic. You receive a check quarterly (holiday shopping will appear mid-January).
It doesn’t get much better than that!
My holiday budget is stretching further than ever this year thanks to FreeShipping.com. I love that I can earn cash back on things I would be buying anyway.

I would spent it on gifts for my family.
Great idea, Carly!
I would spend the 20% cash back on myself after buying for others.
You deserve it, Taylor!
I would spend the money on a more high quality Christmas Feast. We would upgrade to a Prime Rib Roast instead of the old Turkey and Ham.
Love that idea!
i would totally love to use this for shopping
More savings = more shopping 🙂 We love that idea, Ann!
I would spend that extra 20% on myself and get some new PJ’s and socks.
Stay cozy, Tricia! 🙂
I would spend my extra 20% on my daughter some winter pants.
I’m sure she’d love that, Paula!
I would use the extra 20% to purchase gift card deals to help save money throughout the year for my family of 7. Thank you
That’s a big family, Teresa! I’m sure you’re surrounded by lots of love and warmth 🙂 <3
