A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Joann's Fabrics
Oh, how I don't like shopping at big box stores.
But I was in quick need of a couple of notions for holiday orders the week of Christmas.
Reluctantly, I went to the Joann Fabrics website to see their prices before heading across town for the last-minute notions.
Well, I had downloaded the Giving Assistant toolbar in my browser, and, to my surpsie, I got a pop-up about a cash back bonus available at Joann.com! I didn't think about it before, but it certainly is a good idea to check Giving Assistant first whenever I find myself shopping online.
For example, as of this post, you can earn up to 4% cash back at the following craft supply stores through Giving Assistant IN ADDITION TO any cash back offers from your credit card or other discounts:
Joann: 4%
Etsy (including your Etsy shop and mine): 3%
Hobby Lobby: 3%
Michael's : 2%
(IMPORTANT: These cash back amounts fluctuate and are only for online purchases made through the Giving Assistant site.)
Use this link to sign up for Giving Assistant, and also get $5 as a cashback bonus!
Giving Assistant is free and easy to use, but you need to remember to use their pop-up or shop through their site to get your savings. You can even use coupon codes on top of these savings!
But the coolest thing about Giving Assistant is that you can use the cash back to donate to charities directly through their site! They even have a Giving Tuesday reminder to support important causes. What a great way to help others - shop for things you were shopping for anyway and give the discount you save to causes that you support! For example, Giving Assistant, through its members, have given over $100,000 to Zidisha.org, a micro-lending program throughout Africa and Asia that I have been supporting for years!
