Here at The Budget Savvy Bride, we *love* saving money… but we especially love saving YOU money! Over the last ten years, we’ve shared so many awesome tips and resources for you to utilize in wedding planning and in life, and one of our absolute favorite resources is Ebates Rakuten! By using Rakuten, you’ll save money by earning cashback when shopping at your favorite online retailers.

In case you don’t already know, Rakuten is the largest Cash Back rebates site. They partner with over 2,500 of the biggest name brands you love like eBay, Groupon, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Sephora, Walmart, and soooo many more!

These sites offer between 1%-26% cashback (usually 10% and under) on purchases you make online through Rakuten. Do you really NEED another reason to sign up? Especially if you’re like us and you do a lot of shopping online anyway… this just seems like a no-brainer.

So basically, this little browser extension exists to help you remember to use Rakuten when you’re shopping on your favorite retailer’s websites. So, for example, if you’re shopping on Macys.com, you might notice your Rakuten browser extension turn red with a Box around the logo like below:
