Sustainable living includes smart shopping and great budgeting. As much as we try to buy locally, sometimes we want or need something that is only available online. Or sometimes, we are trying to stretch the dollars of a gift card, and will try to find a shopping opportunity that allows us to get some of the money spent, rebated to us. There are many rebate website portals out there. Some of them have limited store availability - some have only limited tools or cumbersome processes, like having to start out at their site in order to have a cookie track your identification to process your rebate.
A new shopping tool, MonaBar, gives you a convenient tool that is an add-on for your browser, so you don't have to go to the portal to shop. It has thousands of stores in its offerings. When you are shopping, if it is one of the many stores in its database, it will show you a little bar at the top of your screen with the rebate percentage, as well as any coupons or specials that you can take advantage of while shopping. Just continue shopping normally, the tool keeps track and will figure out your earned rebates. And as an added bonus - everyone you refer will earn you money. Not just a one time referral bonus, but 10% of their rebates for as long as they are using the service.
