It's Black Friday, so it seems like the perfect excuse to repost my thread about getting cashback on your shopping. Last time, quite a few people found it useful.
In the last few years, I've accumulated a decent chunk of change from shopping as normal, as you can see below...

Earning cashback is very straightforward:
1) Join the cashback site
2) Shop at any of the thousands of online merchants it supports
3) Earn money on each purchase, either as a % of spend, or as a flat fee bonus
4) Withdraw the cash to your bank account, or take it as vouchers

Loads of well-known firms are taking part: Argos, Amazon, Etsy, Currys, eBay, Holland & Barrett, Boohoo, John Lewis, EE, Disney, Boden, B&Q, Asos, Joules, Lakeland, Virgin Media, O2, Vodafone, Money Supermarket, AO, Zavvi, Game etc.
Typically, you can expect to get 8-10% back on hotel bookings, 5-10% from fashion retailers, 1-3% from electrical stores, etc.
You can earn lump sum bonuses (£30-£100+) for new phone or SIM contracts, changing broadband provider or utility company, taking out insurance etc.

NOTE: The cash comes out of the fee that the merchant pays the cashback site for sending them shoppers.
In other words, the price you pay doesn't change. You simply get something back.
Literally "money for nothing", so long as you were planning to buy those things anyway.

If they are, click the "get cashback" button next to their listing.
