SHOPPING SITE TUTORIAL

LIVINGFREESHOP.COM

   Welcome to a different type of shopping site that can save you money and make your money go farther. Livingfreeshop.com has over 3,000 retailers that you can shop with, and most of those give you cashback when you shop. After I switched my shopping over from brick and mortar stores to the internet, I found that we had money left at the end of each week because I was spending less, and I was saving time, energy, and gas as well. I love shopping from my sofa in my pajamas, and I love saving money!

There are at least 8 ways to save money on this site, and I will go over them briefly so that you will understand just what you can do with it. First, I will explain how to open a cashback account and never miss a deal or cashback.

BECOME A PREFERRED CUSTOMER

Go to livingfreeshop.com, click on the Sign Up link at the upper right, and in just a minute you can create a cashback account. Make sure that you use a password that you are going to remember. Once you become a Preferred Customer, I will be your Personal Shopping Consultant, and I can help you with problems and questions. My name and contact information will be on the site.

SHOPBUDDY

After you create your account, locate the word Shop at the left of the search bar. Click on the down arrow next to it and click on ShopBuddy. It takes just a minute to download this, but it is one of the most important features that we have on the site. It will do the following:
Before ShopBuddy, if you wished to shop at one of our over 3,000 stores you had to go to livingfreeshop.com, locate the store, and then go to the store from there in order to get your cashback. Now you can just shop on the web, and if you go to a store directly, for example Walmart, ShopBuddy will pop up and give you a link to connect you to your cashback account, so you never miss your cashback.
But that is not all, it will give you the Hot Deals on the site, which are updated daily, and any coupon codes. When you go to checkout, it will search the coupon codes and apply any that you are entitled to use.
When you search for an item on google, the search results will let you know which of our stores carry the item that you are searching for, and will tell you if that store gives cashback.

So to summarize: ShopBuddy ensures that you always get your cashback, ensures that you can find the Hot Deals and use the coupon codes that you are entitled to, and helps you find products that give you cashback.

COMPARISON SHOPPING

    If you search for an item on livingfreeshop.com, you will be able to click on an item you are interested in and see the top stores that carry that item, the price, and how much cashback each one will give you so that you can find the best deal. Be sure to check out the shipping on each one, as that can be a big factor also. Most of the time I get free shipping on what I buy. Instead of going from store to store, you can just look it up and find the best price.

OPTIONS

   We have two types of stores: Partner Stores and One Cart Stores. When you shop with a partner store, such as Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc., you are shopping directly on that store's website, and you need ShopBuddy to help you with deals, coupons, and cashback.
   
   When you shop with our One Cart Stores, you are shopping directly on livingfreeshop.com, and you can shop with different stores but pay once with our one cart technology. When you look up an item, there are options available that you will see on a floating menu at the right of your screen, such as My Lists, Gift Registry, Price Alerts, eGifts, etc.. These options can save you time and money, especially the Price Alert. When you click on these, just follow the onscreen instructions. 

   One note: our Gift Registry allows you to add items to it from all of our One Cart stores, so you are not restricted to picking items from one store. When you give people the link, they can then shop on one site for items from many stores.

GIFT CARDS AND STACKING

   If you search for gift cards, you will see a number of options. Some of them give cashback but charge a fee, and some of the sites carry discounted gift cards, which can save you a LOT of money. Over the last three years I have saved over $800 through the discounts alone, and that doesn't include the cashback that I have earned. My favorite site is Raise.com, and if you check this site when you are shopping or going to a restaurant, you can save a lot of money. Here is an example:
  
 When we were going to eat at Applebee's a couple of years ago, I was getting out of the car when I realized that I hadn't checked for a gift card. I got back in the car, looked it up on my iPad on our shop.com app, went to Raise.com from there so that I would get my cashback, and looked up Applebee's. I bought a discounted card, it was delivered within a minute or two to my email inbox, I clicked the link and brought up the voucher, and then showed it to the server when we paid. You must buy a voucher instead of a physical card in order to use it right away, so make sure it says voucher and not physical. We saved $10 that night, but I have saved more than that at times.

   I wanted to make this post as short and simple as possible, but I must give another example because this is an important part of saving money with our site. This is an example of Stacking your savings:

   We were picking up an order at Home Depot one day, and we looked at the lawn mowers because we needed one. We picked one out, looked it up online, found that it was discontinued but found another one just like it on sale, so I went to Raise.com on my iPad, but you could do this on your phone, and bought a Home Depot voucher. We got a good discount on the voucher and 2% cashback. I paid for the voucher with my Bank of America cashback credit card, and then went to the shop.com app and then to Home Depot from there, and ordered the lawn mower, paying for it with the voucher from Raise. We got a good price and another 2% cashback from Home Depot. We estimated that we saved approximately $25.00. Once you get used to doing this, it is not hard. I get vouchers for restaurants all the time, and even saved $5.00 on a sweater that I was buying at Penney's one time. As I said, I have saved over $800 just using Raise. 

   The bottom line is that you can save a lot of money by changing your buying habits. I am hardly ever in a store now, I even buy groceries from sites such as Jet and Walmart. Not going in stores will save you a tremendous amount of money. I have so much more time now as well as money because I can shop at night while I'm in front of the TV,  and I don't have to get ready to go out, drive to multiple stores, and then run up and down the aisles looking for stuff. This used to drive me crazy because of people getting in my way constantly. I complained and complained about the stress and energy drain of shopping, but now I don't have that anymore. It is wonderful! And I'm saving a lot of money.

ONE LAST THING

   I not only own a shopping mall as part of my franchise with Market America, I own a Market America store as well, which has exclusive products that you cannot find anywhere else. Our Isotonix line of supplements have the best delivery system, and our products do what they say they will do. We have a weight loss system, TLS for Transitions Lifestyle System, that is really about lifestyle change so that you lose fat, not muscle, and keep it off, and we have a new product that people are going crazy over, TLS Trim Tea, a black instant tea that you can drink hot or cold. We have just recently added Trim Cafe, which is coffee with the same weight melting ingredients.
   Our most popular item is Isotonix OPC-3, which I consider to be a miracle straight from God. It helps so many people with so many different problems. 
   We also have incredible skin care, home care, pet care, cosmetics, etc. I will do a separate blog for these products, because they are so good and so helpful.  
   
   If you have any questions, you can call me at 910-620-7460, or send me an email at livingfreema@gmail.com.

   I hope that this has been helpful,  and that you will utilize this website to the fullest and save money and energy as I am doing. 

Happy shopping!
