Online shopping rebates became my quiet way of getting free coupons when buying for my pantry

I used to ignore those “rebate” things when buying online because the extra steps felt like too much.

Then I started testing a few sites that automatically give back a small percentage from regular stores I already use. Nothing dramatic, just quiet money that shows up later.

What surprised me more was how it changed how I buy my groceries. I stopped impulse buying and started waiting for those little percentage-back windows. The funny part is, I end up saving more because I buy less.

What more can help me on my ongoing finance journey?
