If you have been reading this blog for more than a minute, you know that my favorite cash-back program is Ebates.
I love Ebates. I love that they send me a BIG FAT CHECK every quarter. I love that they pay me to do something I’d be doing anyway – buying stuff online.
And I LOVE that they love Purim.
And are showing it by giving away $100 to one lucky Kosher on a Budget reader.
Now, truth be told, Ebates is also giving away $100 to celebrate another March event – Mommy Madness.
Haven’t heard of it?
That’s because this is the first year of Ebates’ spring celebration called Mommy Madness!
Ebates is kicking off two weeks (thru March 13) of crazy cash-back amounts in the run-up to March Madness. And they are targeting stores that many of us mommies like to shop at, hence the name Mommy Madness.
Blue Nile – 5% cashback
Drugstore.com – 12% cashback
JCPenney – 6% cashback
Lands End – 6% cashback
Philosophy – 10% cashback
Sephora – 8% cashback
The Childrens Place – 5% cashback
Vitacost – 8% cashback (time to use your $10 credit!!!)
Plus, everyday, there will be a special Daily Double store – with double (and sometimes even triple) cashback!
So who wants to win $100??
There are two ways to enter this giveaway.
The first – and this is MANDATORY – leave a comment on this post telling me either:
(a) what you/your kids/your dog is going to be dressed up as for Purim
or
(b) what team you’d like to see win the NCAA Tournament. (You can tell me both, but it only counts as one entry!)
The second entry is not mandatory to enter, but it is mandatory to collect your winnings in the event that you win – and that’s to sign up for an Ebates account if you don’t already have one. Leave a SECOND comment telling me that you have signed up for Ebates – or already were signed up for Ebates.
If you win and are not a member of Ebates, you will be disqualified and a new winner must be chosen. That would be very sad.
This giveaway will be open until Thursday, March 8 (PURIM!) at 11:59 pm CST. The winner will be notified on Friday, March 9 (Shushan Purim).
Disclosure: Ebates will provide one winning KOAB reader with the cash prize and requires that the winner be a registered member of Ebates to claim their prize. I was not compensated by Ebates to run this giveaway, nor to share my positive opinions of their cash-back site. I am, however, an affiliate of Ebates. For more information, please see my disclosure policy.
This Purim I’ll be rocking my Venetian mask. Not sure what this costume will be named, perhaps Venetian Carnival in Washington Heights… 🙂
I’m already registered with eBates and recently got my 3rd cash back payment!
I want the University of Iowa to win the NCAA championship, of course! Are they even in the bracket? Not sure…
Second entry: love me some Ebates! Thanks for convincing me to sign up quite some time ago. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I want the University of Michigan to win the NCAA Championship! (not even sure if they’re in it :))

Dog is going to be a bumble bee 🙂
We are doing a Suess theme… not because of the Lorax, but because my son decided that the HAS to be Cat in the Hat and his sister HAS to be Little Cat Z (you know, the one that you can’t even see).

Ok, I’m not a big dress up for Purim kind of gal. And, I don’t have a family. But, I will be at Shul people watching and commenting on everyone else’s costumes.
I also love Ebates and have received not so huge refunds from them quarterly; but every $15 or $20 helps!
My 2 daughters are going to be “different” things while both wearing the same costumes – 1 will be a bride, the other a princess!
I’m already a fan of Ebates!

My boys are both scooby doo one daughter is daphine the other is Velma
I know one kid will be Rapunzel, one will be something from Star Wars, one will either be a frog or an elephant (depends which one fits) and one is giving me a hard time and can’t make up her mind 🙂
I’m already a member of Ebates. Love the cash back!
We will have an astronaut, a princess and a frog.

For Purim my husband will be a speed hump sign and I will be a road block sign! Slightly inappropriate, but I think its clever/funny!

My kids will be a fireman and penguin.
One child will be a lego man, daughter queen Esther, son kohen gadol and not sure yet what else.
I already have an ebates account, thank you!
My 9 month old, first kid on his first Purim, will be wearing a Carter’s monkey costume I snagged for less than $7 at Macy’s post-Halloween. (It retails for something crazy like $35.)

Already an Ebates member- my 7 month old will be a character from Monsters, Inc. this Purim…wishing everyone a MONSTROUSLY freilichen Purim!
This Purim we’ll be joining my sister where she makes a Purim party for her community. Her thieme this year is Africa. So we will be dressing up like Africans. This is the first year in quite some time that my mishloachmanos won’t be connected thru theme to what we wear. I’m wondering if it’ll be the first of many more to come, or if it will be the first and last. There are pros and cons to both 😉
My girls are wearing cute flamenco dresses their great aunt and uncle got them in Spain.
