favorite online stores&#8230;and many deal codes are already there. &nbsp;GivingAssistant.org gives the entire rebate of what they receive from each retailer directly to you, their customer.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, using <a href=\"https:\/\/givingassistant.org\/?rid=EMMbTkAvos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">GivingAssistant.org<\/a> was a pleasant experience. Most of the stores I shop are a part of their 1,800 stores. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t need to waste time looking for coupons&nbsp;on the Internet to save some money, as many coupons are already there for me on their site (even for stores not supported included in cash back rebates). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I feel less gouged about paying for shipping now because of 1.) the coupons on their site and 2.) I&#8217;m getting cash&nbsp;back on GivingAssistant.org. &nbsp;3.)&nbsp;every transaction I make at a store, GivingAssistant.org will give a meal to a family in need through Feeding America. So now, I can feel even better about my purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Try out <a href=\"https:\/\/givingassistant.org\/?rid=EMMbTkAvos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">GivingAssistant.org<\/a> for yourself. &nbsp;It&#8217;s free, fun, and really streamlines your shopping, while putting money back in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18988\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18988\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?resize=602%2C90&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"GivingAssistant.org\" width=\"602\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?w=896&amp;ssl=1 896w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?resize=300%2C45&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?resize=768%2C115&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?resize=150%2C22&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant-1.jpg?resize=600%2C90&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Back-to-School season is here&nbsp;&#8211; it&#8217;s the start of a very busy shopping season. &nbsp;Before you know it, Christmas will be upon us too. &nbsp;I try my best to buy as many&nbsp;of our Christmas presents during Back-to-School to make it less stressful in November and December. &nbsp;Shopping online has enabled me to do this without [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7,10,14,22],"tags":[3006,3005,3003,2274,239,3004],"class_list":["post-18973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dads","category-deal","category-how-to","category-moms","category-websites","tag-cash-back","tag-deals","tag-givingassistant-org","tag-savings","tag-shopping","tag-website","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/08\/GivingAssistant.org-Main.jpg?fit=570%2C315&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
