Daily Deal, CashBack, CashBack Credit/Debit Card
First we need to find a Cashback website that offers us the most money back for shopping through them. (What's cashback? When you shop a website/vendor through one of these websites, they will put aside a portion of you purchase and refund it to you via paypal, check, or deposit. It adds up real quick)
Fatwallet - Fatwallet is the orginator of cashback online
TopCashBack - TopCashBack Offers the Highest Rates I have Ever Seen
Ebates - Ebates Offers Great CashBack
CouponCactus - Coupon Cactus has a lot of "SALES" where cashback can double or triple
Now is when the science begins... find one of these daily deal site on any of the above cashback sites.
(For Example I bought the LivingSocial special below through TopCashBack at 4%.)
