Are you ready to save more money? Even those of us who would never think of clipping a coupon are looking for ways to save these days.

Here's a great one that I learned about from ShopSmart magazine:

Ebates.com is a fab site. When you sign in, you get a choice of $5 in cash or a $10 gift card from Circut City, Target, Sephora or iTunes. When you check out, Ebates.com gives you credit on your account with a rebate. It can be as high as 26 percent, but most are 1 to 4 percent. If you are really generous, you can donate your rebate to charity.

ShopSmart gives a great tip: "Click on the "daily double" tab. For that day, rebates from a selected retailer are doubled."

Have a dog that loves Halloween? Get started with this cute hotdog outfit from target.com. It's only $9.99 and comes in small, medium and large.
