Five Ways to Wear Your Gym Clothes All Day

One way to stay good on your 2018 fitness goals: Never take off your gym clothes. Paired with the right pieces, these stylish separates look even cooler post-workout. Use your hard-earned Cash Back from Ebates to invest in gym clothes that do double-duty. Below, a few of our current favorites and some secrets on how to style them.

1. Crop Tops

Instead of hiding under baggy tees, a crop top lends extra incentive not to skip your ab workout. After the gym, they look cool with a pair of high-waisted pants or a long, high-waisted skirt. If it’s cooler outside, layer one over a plain white tee or a long-sleeve cotton shirt.

2. Cool Leggings

A step up from basic black, you’ll want to live in these chic leggings. Pair them with a big, luxe sweater and a cool pair of sneakers for a casual yet cool dinnertime look. Or dress them up with a fitted tank and chunky boots.

3. Slouchy Sweatpants

Sweatpants get a bad rep, but there are plenty of cool alternatives on the market now. Pair them with a simple slide and leotard to run errands, or elevate the outfit with a fitted denim jacket, high top and polished bag. Adding accessories instantly upgrades the look way beyond gym basic.

4. Smart Sneakers

Sneakers with a dress may conjure images of bad commuter fashion, but the look is style blog worthy when executed properly. Try them with colored pants or cuffed, high-waisted trousers, or pair them with a utilitarian summer dress. High tops paired with office-ready skirts and tailored jackets are a chic replacement for boots in the winter.

5. Sporty Socks

Don’t be afraid to embrace the socks-and-sandals trend. Fancy heels look quirky and chic when paired with athletic socks. We love them with open-toed sandals on cooler nights, if you dare.

How to Shop End of Summer Sales Like a Pro

The end of the season is fast approaching. Soon, the weather will change, the foliage will change and of course the fashions will change. For all of you summer lovers out there we have great news that will ease your transition into the cooler months. The end of summer is one of the best times to find great deals on clothes, home wares, seasonal goods and more. An end of summer sale at your favorite store can stock you up for a year or more, if you play your cards right. The key to banking big on end of summer sales is to shop smart. To secure your end of summer savings, make sure to shop with a summer deals promo code from Ebates. When you shop our top stores with these insider tips, you will find the best end of summer shopping and the best savings of the year with Cash Back at Ebates on every purchase.

1. Have a Battle Plan

The end of summer is full of holiday sales, specials on seasonal goods, closeouts and more. Check out the Hot Deals at Ebates to find out which of your favorite retailers are having Labor Day sales. Mark your calendar for when sales begin and end. Combine a promo code within the sale window and you could save even more when you buy. Make the most of a Labor Day sale and you will see that it pays to plan ahead – literally.

2. Shop for Transitional Pieces

Look for layering pieces that can bring you from the heat of the summer into the cool, brisk air of fall. You can always depend on the classic looks from Ralph Lauren and Lacoste to transition your wardrobe seamlessly from late summer to early fall. Pick up a variety of pieces that can easily be layered. Still in love with summer colors? There’s no harm in having a pop of bright summer color highlighting the more neutral tones of your go-to fall wardrobe.

3. Stock up for Next Year

Thinking ahead to next year will help you make the most of your end of summer clothes shopping. Because retailers are turning over their summer inventory to make room for upcoming fall and winter fashions, this is a great time to stock your closet with basics for next year. No matter how styles change in a year, be sure to pick up wardrobe fundamentals like light fabrics, beach basics and accessories from versatile stores like J.Crew and you’ll be fully stocked and ready for next summer.

4. Make the Most of Loyalty Rewards

Just like some credit card companies offer per-purchase reward points or other incentives, many retailers reward their customers with free shipping offers, bonus rewards, store credit and more. So before you hit the big end of summer sales, check out the reward programs offered and make the most of every dollar spent.

5. Invite Your Friends

Every retailer wants to spread the word about their products. The best way to do that is to encourage shoppers to refer their friends and many retails offer rewards for referrals. The other great part about shopping with friends online is that you can comparison shop and see who can get the best deal on a specific item. A little friendly competition has never been so rewarding!

6. Don’t Fear Commitment

The shopping cart is your friend. You can fill your cart with dream goods and amazing bargains at will and then carefully cull it down before you check out. Don’t think of your cart as a place to put your purchases, think of it as a place to put potential purchases. It’s not an impulse buy if you don’t actually buy it! When you review your shopping cart before checking out, you might be surprised by how easy it can be to combine items and deals to get more of what you want for less.

7. Shop Now For the Holidays

There are fewer than 120 shopping days until Christmas. Now is the time to pad out your holiday shopping list with awesome end of summer deals. The end of summer is a great time to shop for summer-weight clothes, linens and towels at huge savings. With the kind of low prices you can find by shopping a summer sale, you’ll save enough to get yourself a little something special too!

8. Shop for the Family

The end of summer means the start of school. This is the time to find all the back-to school goods for your kids while you shop for yourself. Concentrate your shopping at department stores like Walmart and you can find great whole-purchase coupons when you buy everything from socks to snacks.

9. Watch for Price Adjustments

Did you fall in love with an item that just never seems to drop in price, even during the best end of summer sales? If you know you’ll wear it and love it, don’t be afraid to buy the occasional full price item among all your summer deals. Some of our top retailers, like Gap, offer price adjustments so that if an item you purchase goes on sale right after you buy it, you can get that deal after all.

10. Save Everywhere You Go

When it comes to saving money, you can never save too much. If you know how to work it, it is possible to find a coupon for almost every product and service out there. Groupon offers the best daily deals and coupons for your local retailers, restaurants and service providers and can save you up to 70%. Now that’s just good math.

7 Secrets to Finding Spring Clothing Deals

Spring has finally sprung! Whether you’re planning to jet off somewhere fabulous for spring break or just want to get out and take a stroll in the recently returned sunshine, spring is the perfect time to give your wardrobe a much needed pick-me-up. If your ambitions of new spring fashion have your budget quaking in its boots, don’t fret just yet. Spring generally means flowers and more sunlight, but did you know it also comes with some pretty incredible fashion deals? If you know where to look, spring fashion coupons and clothing sales are ripe for the picking on everything from basics to swimwear. Wondering where to get started? Check out these seven insider secrets and you’ll be on your way to the perfect spring fashion makeover at a price that will make the most of any budget.

1. Join the Club

Staying in touch with your favorite brands simply by entering your email address can mean some serious spring fashion savings. Many stores will reward customers for loyalty or even just for signing up for their email newsletters. Get incredible spring fashion coupons, spring sample sale alerts and exclusive early access to spring clothing sales when you register online with your favorite brands. Signing up for store loyalty programs can also mean that you get reward points for shopping that can later be redeemed for a clothing promo code or freebie. Spring shopping can easily turn into enough points for fabulous fashion savings later on in the year!

2. Take Advantage of End of Season Sales

Mark your calendars! As the seasons shift, stores will usually knock down the prices on the previous season’s apparel and spring is no exception. Many retailers will move into warm weather apparel and swimsuits as soon as spring starts and put their cooler weather apparel on sale. If you happen to live in a region where spring doesn’t exactly equal bathing suit weather, this can mean some awesome clothing deals for you! Stock up on warmer wear or even the apparel that came out in prior seasons that still fits in with ongoing fashion trends and you’re in for a steal!

3. Shop Top Fashion Outlet Stores

If you’re looking for the top brands this spring but don’t want to pay top price, make sure you cash in on the incredible spring clothing deals available at popular online outlet stores. High fashion stores are full of gorgeous accessories and clothes on sale that will have you looking like you stepped out of a fashion magazine without the top fashion prices. Plus, if you activate Cash Back at Ebates at any of these stores, your spring fashion budget will go even farther!

4. Update Your Accessories

Even if you don’t have the cash to do a full spring wardrobe overhaul, updating your accessories and accent pieces can go a long way toward freshening up your look. Give those drab fall and winter outfits a fun spring accessory like a bright pair of flats, some sparkly jewelry or a scarf with a cheerful print. Check out stores like J.Crew for a wealth of fun accents that won’t break the bank and will score you some Cash Back.

5. Cash in on Coupon Codes

When it comes to stretching your spring fashion budget, coupons and promo codes are going to be your best friends. Plus, spring fashion coupons are easy to find if you know where to look! Keeping an eye on the store’s homepage will ensure that you don’t miss any deals, but no one really has time to constantly watch for that spring accessory promo code you’re after. While this is another reason you’ll want to sign up for store e-newsletters, if you’re overwhelmed with emails, don’t forget that you can simply head over to Ebates for a full listing of available codes and sales from all of your favorite online stores. Make Ebates your first stop for spring fashion shopping and never miss out on an apparel promo code or spring accessory coupon code again!

6. Check Out Fashion Blogs to Get the Look for Less

Staying up to date with top fashion trends is fun, but it can mean serious danger for your bank account balance. As you know, some high fashion just isn’t affordable, even with major clothing sales. The good news is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t get the look you’re after at a great price. The secret? Check out fashion blogs and magazines with features on how to get the look for less. Most retailers will produce similar garments and accessories as top fashion labels, so you really don’t have to spend top dollar to keep up to date. Finding a great deal on the looks you want and getting clothes on sale is a much easier task at a trend and wallet friendly store.

7. Think Outside the Box & Get Creative

Still not finding the savings you’re seeking? Tap into your creative side and make your own spring fashion accessories! Start collecting ideas on Pinterest or your other favorite creative hub and then head off to the craft store! Stores like Michaels and joann.com both have a terrific selection of DIY fashion supplies that can help fuel your projects, like headbands, faux flowers and jewelry essentials. Whether you are adding a little sparkle and a flowery touch to an old clutch or making a bright new statement necklace, you’ll stand out from the pack with your truly unique creation and keep up with spring fashion trends at a fraction of the cost!

The Best Things to Buy in November

November may be all about holiday gift shopping but don’t forget that you still have plenty of time to check off your list. In order to stretch your budget as far as it can reach, you may want to jump on certain items this month and leave others for December. Here is our complete guide on the best things to buy in November.

Kitchen Goods – Restock your own cook’s corner or plan gift-buying for all the foodies and chefs on your list this month. Experts report that nearly half of all kitchen sales have featured the lowest prices of the year on top items like Pyrex containers and even KitchenAid mixers.
Stores to watch: Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond.

Major Appliances – Black Friday has been known to feature the hottest appliance sales on items like Dyson vacuums, washers, dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators. However, the entire month of November is fair game. So while you may not be planning to gift an entire washer/dryer unit, you may consider taking this time to upgrade your own.
Stores to watch: Sears, Best Buy.

Tools – Expect to see amazing deals on select hand tools and power drill sets. This is usually typical for the colder months when people are less likely to take on household projects. However, beware. Some purchases may require in-store pickup while others will offer free shipping. Always be clear on the purchase terms before checkout.
Stores to watch: Ace Hardware, Lowe’s.

Tablets – Tap into savings with rock bottom prices on cheap tablets including Android and Windows models. Believe it or not, you may be able to score off-brand Android tablets for as low as $20 and Windows tablets for as low as $45! Want to save even more? Go with a refurbished model. If you’re an Apple user, don’t fret. The iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 are projected to drop significantly in price with the upcoming release of the iPad Pro.
Stores to watch: Lenovo, Best Buy.

Clothes – Start shopping for clothes on the Monday before Black Friday to see the most savings on apparel for the whole family. The average clothing sales for this time of year can take off over 50% while some can go as low as 80% off. Also, be on the lookout for clothing coupons that can take up to 60% off.
Stores to watch: Kohl’s, J.Crew.

Console Bundles – Black Friday is slated to bring the best prices of the year on console and game bundles including PlayStation4 and Xbox One. The best bundles will include two free video games normally priced at around $60. If you’re tempted to buy a refurbished console to save money, it may actually be a better deal to go with a bundle so be sure to weigh the costs.
Store to watch: The Hut, Game Stop.

15″ Laptops – Expect to see amazing price drops on big-name laptops that use either Intel’s current generation Core i5 processor or the Broadwell Core i5 CPU. These laptop sales will also extend to generic laptops, however, you may want to opt for higher quality at a great deal. Big names will go for about $300 while bargain bin, 11″ laptops will be as low as $150.
Stores to watch: Kmart, Microsoft Store.

Candy! – Need we remind you that Halloween has passed leaving lonely Halloween candy on shelves just waiting to be eaten? Fill those candy dishes with fun-sized errthang at next to nothing!

cn9307456 — Canvas Shorts in Pepper Rally | $22.94 | Old Navy

As the weather gets warmer, you can start breaking out the shorts. This spring, men’s shorts are shifting toward more colorful styles with a slimmer leg. It’s a great way to add some life to your look and balances nicely with light neutrals like a grey or white shirt. Just remember that in general, it’s better to stick to one brightly colored item per look to keep things balanced.
