Free shipping day is Dec. 16!
There is scant time to finish your Christmas shopping online! Most retailers require online purchases to be completed by Dec. 16, 2011 to guarantee Christmas Eve delivery.
If you do not finish your online shopping by tomorrow, you have two options.
1. Pay a ton for expedited shipping.
2. Fight the crowds at the mall, then package your gifts, wait in line at the post office, and pay for Priority or Express shipping.
If you shop tomorrow, thousands of online merchants – 2,339 to be exact – are participating in Free Shipping Day. What that means is that these 2,339 merchants all offer free standard shipping AND guarantee your gifts will arrive by Christmas. Some have minimum spend requirements, others don’t. Most allow dollar off or percentage off coupons on top of free shipping, which is hot.

If you are having a hard time coming up with a gift or finding a good deal, let the Bargain Babe solve your holiday dilemma.
When you shop online, get a cash back rebate on every purchase by shopping through Ebates. Don’t leave money on the table!

1. Use a cash back site for all your online purchases, for heavens sake. My favorite is Ebates. If you join its email list, the site will alert you to their daily DOUBLE cash back offer and weekly cash back deals. You can combine the cash back rebate with any coupons, free shipping offers, or sales the retailer has going on. I’ve earned more than $1,000 through Ebates. It is not a scam, and if you aren’t using it for your online purchases, you are leaving money on the table.
Downside: Ebates pays out every 90 days.
2. Monitor the Black Friday ads. Each week we share the latest
