Raising money and Saving Money with 2ClickFundraising

3 steps to raising big money, like the 2click guy does.

2011-10-15T10:53:00.001-07:00

My one man fundraising account does better than a lot of our groups. How do I do it? Do I spend that much money online? Do I work that hard at it?

No, I don't work THAT hard, and I, myself, don't spend very much at all. And, here's how I do it. 3 steps ...

1. Listen to your friends and family.
2. Take 5 minutes on Amazon.com
3. Share your findings and Ask for 2 clicks.

Listen to your friends and family. When they're talking, listen intently for purchases they make. Here's an example ... my brother-in-law, Tim, is a big believer in Fish Oil pills. It's believed to be good for your heart, skin, joints, brain, and more. He tells me he has three pills a day. Sounds like a Recurring Purchase to me! Those are the best.

Take 5 minutes on Amazon.com. I asked Tim where he buys the Fish Oil pills. He told me the site, and that they had great prices. So, I spent 5 minutes comparing the prices on that site, with the prices on Amazon. No surprise to me, Amazon was cheaper. After shipping and handling, his site was $45.52, and Amazon was $40.32. Neither site charged Tax. No more than 5 minutes.

Share your findings with your friend. I emailed him, told him Amazon was $5 cheaper, and if he goes through 2click, about $2 of that order will go to help Fisher House. Next time Fish Oil pills come up with him, I'll ask if he's remembering 2click.

Fundraising doesn't have to be selling stuff. Just follow these 3 steps, and save some money, for yourself, AND your friends. Oh, and raise a lot of money for your cause!

For more examples of ways to raise and save, watch this Youtube video ... http://www.youtube.com/2clickguy#p/u/6/MN8hRWunNLY

SHOOT ME AN EMAIL with questions, feedback ... anything!! Jeff@2clickfundraising.com

Happy clicking!
Jeff, the 2click guy.

Why you should Ask Supporters to watch latest video

2011-08-25T11:55:00.000-07:00

2clickfundraising.com is a very unique fundraiser. And, because of that, it some times takes groups a little while to "get" it. This video aims at informing and motivating them to take full advantage of the many benefits of 2click. As I like to say, "it's better than selling stuff!"

Please ask your supporters to watch the video, and we will all get off on the right foot, and have a great year.

Thanks!
Jeff, the 2click guy.

Raising money for your group with Office Depot

2011-06-06T18:57:00.001-07:00

Asking your supporters to shop online at Office Depot is a great way for your group to make money. As you may know, I run this site as a busines, but I also USE it to raise money for Fisher House, which helps Military Families in need. I ask my friends and family to help support the cause, and not surprisingly, we are often the top earning group, as we were again in May. Office Depot is a big part of that. First, why Office Depot ...

1. They are an established merchant with very competitive prices.

2. They offer NEXT DAY free shipping on anything over $25.

3. There is a great coupon for $30 off when you spend $150 (find it at 2clickfundraising.com)

4. These are regular, recurring purchases, not one time stuff or holiday only type of purchases. Make money all year long!

With just a TINY bit of effort, your group can cash in on this, too!

Ask for full participation. Too often, I think 2click is a "I'll try to remember that" type of endeavor. Ask people to call five people(details below). And, remember, you're not asking them to buy wrapping paper or cookie dough, this is something people actually NEED. And, are already buying. You're just aking them to price shop at OfficeDepot.com (after going to 2clickfundraising.com, of course!) Tell them, if you're getting a better deal somewhere else, great! But, I'm willing to bet a large number of people will start SAVING money, and MAKING money for your group!

Who to target? Ask people to think of friends and family in small business. Small businesses are often in need of supplies, and always looking to save money. Write down five people's names and give them a call! Hey, maybe even YOUR organization needs supplies, huh? Ask around!

Best of luck, and happy clicking!

Great Last-Minute Gift Ideas: Gift Cards

2010-12-15T14:36:00.000-08:00

So, we're all running out of time for shopping. With just a little more than a week until Christmas, there's not a whole lot of time to do much more shopping. And the hope to get something big shipped in time is a tall order. But you definitely still have time to get the perfect gift for everyone on your list: gift cards. Not only is a gift card the perfect gift for the person that you're not quite sure what to get, but they're commissionable for a lot of our merchants!

Simply go to 2clickfundraising.com to choose your group, then choose your merchant and purchase a gift card--it's that simple to finish up the remainder of your shopping list.

Here are some examples of our merchants who will give money to your group when you purchase a gift card:

Amazon.com

iTunes

Barnes and Noble

Macys.com

OldNavy.com

Many, many more of our merchants offer commission on the purchase of gift cards. With the time winding down, you still have the chance to raise money for your group while you finish off your list--gift cards ship a whole lot faster than a flat-screen television.

Email jeff@2clickfundraising.com if you have any questions about whether one of our merchants will offer commission on a gift card. Chances are, the answer is that they will.

2010-11-16T10:09:00.000-08:00

As everyone is gearing up for their holiday shopping, we wanted to share a quick story about some recent big purchases on 2click. Remembering to head to 2click before holiday shopping can both save you money and help your group out in a huge way.

We decided to do some price comparison both online and in person when shopping for a great digital camera--specifically, a Sony Cybershot DSC-H10. 8.1 megapixels, 10x zoom. Just a quick check around led us to the best deal, at Amazon.com.

Amazon $348.29
Circuit City $399.99
Best Buy $399.99
ABT $399.99
Tiger $399.99

So not only did a little shopping around online turn out to be a much better deal than the camera that we found in the stores, but Amazon gives a great percent to our groups.

Honestly, Amazon has pretty much everything you could possibly need for a gift. In some cases, they've got products that you can't find anywhere else yet. Take for example the Vizio XVT553SV 55-inch 240Hz TruLED LCD HDTV with VIZIO Internet Application. This is a great television, and we couldn't find it anywhere else. Plus, we saved $150 off the retail cost. And by spending $1,749.98, we got to give a huge chunk of money to our favorite organization.

Shopping online makes comparing prices so much easier, and almost every time we've been able to find the best price with one of the merchants listed on 2click.

Deals of the Week

2010-11-12T05:30:00.000-08:00

As holiday season is approaching/already upon us, we thought that we'd start up a weekly tradition to help out the folks trying to save some money while shopping with 2click. Every week we're going to post all of the deals currently running through our merchants right here on the blog. Hopefully this will spark some holiday ideas for you while saving you a few bucks (and of course raising some cash for your favorite group).

As we've mentioned before, you can always go directly to our merchants page and check for the green "Deal!" tag to see who's got a special running. But to help you out over the next few weeks, we'll be giving you a weekly update on the deals that are running on the site. And as always, let us know if there's any way that we can help you make your shopping experience better.

So quick recap: The merchants listed below are all running a special currently. Just click on the merchant's name, and you'll be taken to a page where you can pick your favorite group. Start shopping, and a percentage of your sale will go directly to the organization that you chose. Happy deal hunting!

How Much Has My 2click Shopping Helped Our Group?

2010-11-10T12:56:00.000-08:00

We've had a very busy few months here at 2click. The third quarter of 2010 was our best EVER, and we're heading down the same path for Q4. The fact that we've seen more and more people shopping with 2click means one very important thing: We've been raising a whole lot of money for our groups.

If you've been using 2click and you'd like to know how much your group has raised, please send us an email. We'd love to give you some numbers. And if you've just made a big purchase (or even a small one!) and want to find out how much your shopping raised for your group, feel free to email us as well.

Our last few months have been great at 2click, and it's completely because of your online shopping. So if you'd like to know how your group is doing, how much your purchase donated to your group, or anything else, please, please send us an email at jeff@2clickfundraising.com. We want you to know how much your shopping is helping, and we'll get you as much info as you'd like. Happy shopping!

Here's a whole list of merchants who are running deals right now, and some of them last through the end of December!

You can find a gift for anyone from your list from our merchants and raise money while you shop. But when you get to save a few bucks in the process it makes holiday shopping even sweeter.

Tis the Season to Raise More Money for Your Group

2010-11-02T07:22:00.001-07:00

Believe it or not, the holidays are already here. Yikes, we know. But, as you start to shop for presents for your neighbors, colleagues, brothers, aunts, third cousins, etc., we just want you to keep 2clickfundraising in mind.

A lot of your shopping can be done entirely online, which lets you avoid the madness of the season while being much more efficient, and philanthropic, at the same time. Just remember to head to 2click, choose your group, then start shopping. It's super simple, and it's money raised to help your organization.

Just a reminder, here's a list of all of our merchants so that you can keep in mind how you can turn your holiday shopping into money raised for your group. A little commission here, and a few bucks there can really add up--especially when you remind your friends and family to shop through 2click as well.

Happy National Punctuation Day!

2010-09-24T09:12:00.000-07:00

It's National Punctuation Day, the day that we all take a moment to enjoy all that the world of punctuation has to offer. Why not celebrate today by picking up a great book to refresh your memory on everything that our friends, punctuation marks, have to offer. (And give some celebratory cash to your school's cause in the process!)

Head to Amazon.com and pick up an AP Stylebook for all your grammatical needs.
Hit up Borders.com and go on The Great Typo Hunt with Jeff Deck.
Brush up on all the basics at BarnesandNoble.com with Strunk and White.

Celebrate National Punctuation Day by brushing up on your grammar love, and raise some money for your great cause in the process. Stop by 2Clickfundraising, pick your group, and start your shopping, period.

(Also, the punctuation seen above is The Interrobang. It's pretty solid punctuation--a mix of an exclamation point and a question mark. Can't beat the efficiency of that.)

Facebook and Your Cause

2010-09-16T08:06:00.000-07:00

This morning I wanted to offer a bit of insight from the American Express Open Forum, which the good people at Mashable regularly contribute to. I stumbled upon an interesting breakdown of how and why people "like" brands on Facebook.

While this post on the Open Forum was directed toward companies and larger businesses, causes and organizations can learn a lot from the information that they're presenting here. ExactTarget studied 1,500 Facebook users to find out exactly what people expect once they "like" a company or brand on Facebook.

For those of you who don't have time to read the whole post, here's a quick glance at why people say they've "liked" a brand or company on Facebook:

40 percent to receive discounts and promotions
39 percent to show my support for the company to others
36 percent to get a "freebie"
34 percent to stay informed about the activities of the company
33 percent to get updates on future products
30 percent to get updates on upcoming sales
29 percent for fun or entertainment
25 percent to get access to exclusive content
22 percent someone recommended it to me
21 percent to learn more about the company
13 percent for education about company topics
13 percent to interact

I'd suggest checking out the whole post, because it gives good insight on how to keep your "likers" happy once they've already clicked that magic button. Keep your fans in the know about what your group has going on. They support you and are interested, so use this opportunity to let them know about the events and fundraisers you've got going on. Keep your "likers" liking you.

Labor Day Sales Galore!

A to Z Buzz Words

2010-09-01T11:27:00.000-07:00

It's easy to remind people to remember 2Clickfundraising when they shop. To raise a ton of money for your group, it just takes adjusting the way that you and your supporters shop online. I've put together a list of buzz words to help you remind your friends and families to adjust the way that they shop as well.

Anytime you hear one of the words below, think about the way that you can gently remind your supporters to change the way they shop.

Give your Group a Boost--Have 2ClickGuy Stop By!

2010-08-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

Since we started 2Clickfundraising.com, I've had the opportunity to meet with many of our groups. This week I stopped by the Sundling Junior High Music Department to talk about ways to promote 2Clickfundraising to their supporters.

Through the years, I've talked to Sundling the most out of all of our groups; and through the years, they've consistently raised the most money by shopping online. Over the next few months, I'm hoping to visit as many groups as possible throughout the Chicagoland area. I'd like to talk about ways to remind your group's supporters to use 2Click to raise money for your cause. I will answer any questions that you have, and give you ideas to use 2Click to its fullest potential.

Please email me if you'd like to have me come to talk. As I said, I'd love to give a talk for any Chicagoland group.

Insider Deals to your Inbox

2010-08-13T06:50:00.000-07:00

We try to make it as easy as possible for you to use 2clickfundraising as a shopping tool to save money for your family. You can follow us on Twitter to find out what sort of deals our merchants are offering on the spot, you can look at our list of merchants and check for the "Deal!" in green that highlights the merchants that are offering deals, or you can check out our deals on Facebook. But, you can also sign up for email updates for specific merchants. For example, if you really dig wine, you can sign up for updates on specials and deals from Wine.com. Any time we find out that Wine.com is running a special, you'll get an update right to your inbox.

Simply go to the list of merchants, click your favorite merchant, and then enter your email address to receive updates on specials from your favorite merchant. Or, if you prefer to sign up for updates in categories, head to the "join newsletter" page and click any category that you'd like to receive updates on specials. We won't spam you, we'll just send you the best deals that you ask for. So when you get the heads up on a great deal, you'll be one click away from raising money for your organization and saving money in the process.

Back to School Savings

2010-08-06T06:57:00.000-07:00

Everyone's winding down from the summer and amping up for another school year--so we're going to tell you about some of the great deals running to help you with back to school shopping. Take a look at some of these deals before you trudge to the mall, and you can give a percentage to your favorite school group while saving some cash. Can't go wrong there!

Shoes.com
Shoes.com gives a great percentage back to your group (13% on all purchases) so it's a great way for you to get the kids the new kicks for the school year. Through the end of September you can save 15% on back to school faves like Converse and New Balance with the coupon code BTSHOES10.

Amazon.com
Amazon.com offers you pretty much anything you could possibly need to get the kids back to school. All the way from kindergarten to college, Amazon's got you covered. Right now you can save additional cash on textbooks (30% on new, up to 90% on used) as well as all kinds of deals from the back-to-school savings page. And, Amazon gives your group anywhere from 4-7% on all sales.

Office Depot
If you buy $150 right now at Office Depot's online store, you'll automatically get $30 off. Buy any school supplies, computer accessories, anything, and you get $30 off. And Office Depot gives your organization up to 6% back from purchases.

We'll keep you posted of more back-to-school sales as they come in. Just head to 2clickfundraising.com , choose your organization and start shopping.

A Little Change goes a Long Way

2010-08-03T09:00:00.001-07:00

If you change your shopping habits even just a bit, it can go a long, long way. I recently gave a speech to my networking group, ChamberNet Palatine, to explain how adjusting our family's shopping habits raised $260 for military families in one year. Take a look at the video below to learn how just adding one extra click helped us turn our everyday purchases into money raised for an organization that means a lot to us.

Holy Cow, Christmas in July Everywhere!

2010-07-28T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well, it's officially Christmas in July now. We've gotten alerts on all kinds of specials from our merchants. You'll have to act fast to get some of these, but they're all great deals--especially for those of us getting ready to go back to school.

Take a look at some of the specials going on right now. Head to 2Click and pick your organization, then choose your merchant, and you're in business to get some great deals and raise some cash for your cause in the process. Everybody wins!

Target, Amazon and the Pink Leapster

2010-01-04T19:35:00.000-08:00

My wife and I had finally figured out what we wanted to get our three little kids. I already had bought my son a bike (at Amazon, of course), and told my wife that I would buy my daughter the Pink Leapster we talked about, and the Tinker Bell game that goes with it. She (erroneously) thought Target had the Leapster for $35, and I was shocked to see it on Amazon for $48! So, got bundled up and I drove to Target.

The Leapster was $59 (so $11 more than Amazon), and both games we were considering (the Tinker Bell game and a Princesses game) were $1 to $2 cheaper on Amazon.com.

So, I drove back home and ordered it at Amazon. And, that purchase (and, the 2 clicks before going to Amazon), just the Leapster and the game generated about $4.00 in revenue for my Fisher House fundraiser. So, other than the wasted trip to Target, everything worked out just fine.

If you know someone who doesn't know Amazon is the cheapest, share this with them.

Are you a Catalog Freak like my wife?

2009-10-19T08:17:00.000-07:00

My wife is just crazy about catalogs. They stack up like crazy, especially around the holidays, but she still keeps them and flips through every page. One day, when her stack was overflowing in her mail drawer, I threw some out. She made it very clear, I should not do that in the future. Okay, even if you buy from catalogs just once and a while ... here is a great way to SAVE MONEY and MAKE MONEY for your organization.

First, we have some catalogs in our network, so instead of calling in, go online to 2clickfundraising.com. Click on the Organization you want to make money, and then on the link for that catalog (Colorful Images, EToys, Highlights Catalog, and more). Your purchase will be the same price, but your Organization will make a portion of the purchase price.

But ... here is a way to actually SAVE money. Recently, my wife was about to buy a Christmas present out of a catalog. It was this cool mug, that looked like an upside down Beer Bottle, inside the mug for my beer drinking brother (hope he's not reading this). It was $24.99 plus shipping. Anyways, instead of calling up the catalog, I did a quick search on Amazon. I found it for $20, and since I had another small thing to buy, shipping was free (over $25). Interestingly enough, it's also $19.99 on their website. I don't know if they reduced the price or if it's lower on the site, but we saved over $10.

So, I started to look around at some more. Some of the items I found were not on Amazon and some were there, offered through the same catalog I found it in, so it was the same price. But, every time I found it, it was the same or cheaper. Here are some examples of what I found ...

Catalog	Item	Catalog	Amazon	Savings!
Potpourri	Personalized Man Cave Sign	$49.95	$39.95	$10.00
Solutions	Songwriter CD Recorder	$399.00	$311.43	$87.57
Solutions	35mm Film Converter	$99.95	$89.90	$10.05
What on Earth	Elvis Presley Guitar Shirt	$49.95	$39.99	$9.96

Well, I could go on and on. So, if you are thinking of ordering from a catalog, look around a bit. You can probably save money and make money for your organization!

Price comparison on Musical Instruments

2009-09-07T19:50:00.000-07:00

Dear 2Click -

As a person who uses 2Click (2ClickFundraising.com) whenever it is possible - as long as an online store that I am looking at price shopping with has a link thru 2ClickFundraising.com. I want to say thanks for a cool site that has helped me shop for good deals and service, and be able to give money back. Yes, I am a musician and I always seem to be buying gear...seriously, it seems like always. Yes, I have done the ebay thing...a lot. (Editors Note! Ebay is in the 2clickfundraising.com network, too!!) Until recently I thought ebay was the only way to buy gear online, but I AM WRONG. After a rash of marginal or weak ebay experiences I decided to start looking at buying new stuff online instead of the ebay stuff. I figured having new gear could be a sound investment (pardon the pun), but really I just wanted to start getting what I wanted, and I wanted it in good, functioning shape. So, granted I am not buying gear for an orchestra or a huge band, but I figure I can do something - I give back to the Fisher House charity.

My most recent purchases this summer were both thru Musician's Friend and I think were great deals. 1st, I bought an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb pedal for my electric guitar, cost me $118.50 including shipping and IT IS GUARANTEED/WARANTEED to work. Price was the same as buying it new everywhere I searched on the internet (ebay, zzounds,&nbs p;samash.com) and shipping was free. Ebay was $20 cheaper, but most of those guys didn't have free shipping and clearly no guarantee/warantee. Pedal came in 3 days and sounds great/works great. A month later I decided to buy a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner thru 2Click. Same deal, I searched all the sites and found that the best deal was thru 2Click and Musician's Friend for only $99.00 with free shipping.. Ebay couldn't promise me the quality and the other sites don't offer free shipping. So purchase number two of the summer was the tuner.. Both products have been successes. So, I know my 2Click choice was Fisher House, but I don't know how much ended up going to Fisher House. If you could tell me that would be awesome. I know people buy all kinds of things thru 2Click. Music is my passion and 2Click makes feel about spending money on my tools and toys. Thanks.

jack higgins

Your answer, Jack ... For just 2 clicks before you made those purchases, Fisher House made $9.97. So, Fisher House and 2clickfundraising thank you for your 2 clicks. AND, your note. And, please note, Ebay is also in the 2clickfundraising.com network!

Keep clicking!
Jeff

Being successful with 2clickfundraising.com

2009-08-28T09:13:00.000-07:00

There is one major problem when your group decides to raise funds with 2clickfundraising.com. It's too EASY!! People here the idea, say that's great, maybe forward one email and think they're done. Unfortunately ... it's not THAT easy.

You have to treat it more like a traditional fundraiser. When you sell wrapping paper, you pick up the phone and call friends & family, ask neighbors to buy some, collect money, distribute the rolls, etc. Put half of that effort into this fundraiser, and you will certainly reap larger rewards.

1. Assign Tasks to People - Make people feel needed and accountable. "Who wears Contact Lenses?" Assign that person the task of researching 1-800 Contacts. If you can feel good about pushing all of the Contact users in your group to buy them through 2click, that'd be nice. "Who is a Wine drinker?" Have them sign up for Merchant Alerts at 2clickfundraising.com and wine.com, then when they see great deals come through, they'll be ready to spread the word to the group and other wine fans. "Does anyone Travel a lot?" "Anyone big into Shoes?" They will feel involved and you can find opportunities your missing.

2. Bring it up at EVERY meeting. People like 2click, they just don't remember it. When you mention 2click at every meeting, the reaction will not be, "Oh, geez, this again." It will be more like, "Oh, that's right! and, I have to buy Timmy's birthday present soon, too." Maybe have a suggestion or request ready for each meeting. Email me for suggestions, but here are some ... Make 2clickfundraising.com your Home page, Add simple tag line to the bottom of all your emails, Email the last three people you drank wine with to tell them about 1 cent shipping deal, Remind them about music downloads at 2click (iTunes and Amazon MP3), etc.

3. Get creative! You know your community better than I do. And, somewhere in your community, people are spending a lot of money online. If you can do just a little legwork, and find those people some savings, they will GLADLY help you out with 2 extra clicks. Ask a small business for their latest supplies bill from Staples and compare that with OfficeDepot.com (and the $30 coupon) or little leaguers all buy new shoes around the same time, put together a flyer (or ask us!).

4. If you are in the Chicagoland area, have me come speak. I would love to help get people excited about this program. I'm a BIG believer and will help turn your people into believers, too. If not, check out Youtube in the coming weeks, I will be recording and uploading my next presentation.

Best of luck. If you have ANY questions or requests at all, email me, jeff@2clickfundraising.com

Smart saving and happy clicking,
Jeff.

I needed nice sandals, the winner ... Amazon.com! (again)

2009-05-18T14:36:00.000-07:00

My summer casual sandals are pretty gross, so I decided to buy new ones. My brother, who has better taste and a better budget, had some nice ones he raved about, so I decided to jump in and get the same ones (justifying it, because I'll where them for the next 10 years!)

They're those half sandals/half gym shoe types, called Keen Newports. He told me they'd probably be just under $100. Yep. For in store visits, I went to DSW (didn't have them), JC Penny (nope, just knock offs), Sears (nothing close), and Nordstrom's. Nordstrom's had them (figures) and they were $89.95. Plus tax, would make them about $100 where I live.

Through 2clickfundraising.com, shoes.com has a $10 off $50 orders coupon this month (SPRING10), so I started there. The shoes were $97. The Bad news was, that Keen wasn't part of the coupon, so I couldn't use that. But, with NO Shipping & NO Tax, I still would have saved $3 over Nordstroms. AND (this made the decision tough), Shoes.com purchases create 10% going back to the Fisher House, so that was $9.70. Not bad.

But, on Amazon.com, they were on sale for $78.50 plus $6.50 shipping and NO Tax. So, it was only $85 total. And, Amazon.com is about 4.5% to the groups, so about $3.50 will go to Fisher House (Hey, I have to look out for number 1!).

If you know someone looking for shoes, share this with them.

Tell small businesses about OfficeDepot.com

2009-05-14T06:06:00.000-07:00

Pick up the phone and call everyone you know involved in a small business! Well, read this first, but then call them, they will thank you for saving the company money. AND, your organization will start making money on their regular purchases. Everybody wins.

The KEY: When you go through 2clickfundraising.com, find Office Depot and click on the DEAL link. There is a coupon for $30 off any order over $150. That's 20%! (although, it comes down if you order way over that, of course) But, you can use it as often as you'd like and for the rest of the year, until 12/31/09. Using this coupon makes this a very easy decision.

The DETAILS: I run a small business. So, I needed supplies, including ink, windowed envelopes, bubble mailers and more. I went to both Office Depot and Staples, both online and in store. Office Depot had the same or lower prices on ALL of my items, especially ink, where Staples (in-store) was over double what I paid. I also called a friend of mine who runs a small business and asked for the printout of a recent order from Staples.com to compare. The big ticket item, The Toner cartridges, were exactly the same price, so now she's saving $30 every time they need one (remember to get the $30 coupon, you need to click through 2clickfundraising.com!).

Both online stores are free Next Day shipping on orders over $50.

The WRAP-UP: My supplies arrived at my front door the very next day. The order was exactly as I'd placed it, and I didn't leave my house.

Diapers.com makes good cents!

2009-05-05T06:30:00.000-07:00

I have the three cutest little kids in the world. I know, I know, everyone says that. But, with my kids it's actually true. Everyone says it, my wife, my mom ... everyone.

Anyways, before 2clickfundraising.com, we bought our diapers at Target. It's the cheapest place around.

Enter Diapers.com. It's great, you think about needing diapers at 3 am, and walk downstairs to the computer to shop (clicking through 2click first, of course!!). A couple days later, the box is waiting for you at your front door. No lugging huge boxes of diapers, just drag it inside and open the box. But, that convenience (and the commission for the organization of your choice) isn't worth too much money. It was time for a price comparison. My youngest son is 18 months and in size 5s, so we'll start there (quick side story: My wife wrote a note for my Mom when she was taking care of the kids, saying "Put him in 5 diapies", meaning size 5. So, my Mom being very confused, put him in 5 diapers!!! Too funny.)

Drum roll, please ... Diapers.com wins! And, similar to Amazon, the No Tax and No Shipping is the key (they always have no shipping over $50). After breaking it down to the "per Diaper" price, and taking into account tax and shipping (but not gas money to Target), the Target price is .25 cents per diaper, and the Diapers.com price is .23 cents per. Doesn't seem like a lot, but when you go through as many diapers as this little poop machines go through ... it adds up.

Also, for first timers ... $10 off your first order of Diapers with code AFF10! ($49 minimum total order.)

Your purchase also makes a commission for your organziation of choice. Starting to look like a no-brainer, right?

Need Electronics. Think Amazon.com!

2009-04-29T18:03:00.000-07:00

Last month, the TV in my bedroom finally died. It lived a long, good life. The armoir could fit a 32 inch TV, so that's what I was looking for.

I went to Best Buy, and wrote down the prices for three or four brands, with various bells and whistles. Then I logged on to 2clickfundraising.com and clicked on Fisher House (the cause I support on 2click). I decided to check out the prices on three different websites.

ABT Electronics and TigerDirect.com both had the TVs I had just priced out and 3 out of the 4 were the exact same price (the other was more expensive then Best Buy). ABT has 1,000s of products with Free Shipping and that was one and TigerDirect.com was running a special with $2.99 shipping on most items. So, that was close enough for a wash.

Then, I went to Amazon.com (clicking through 2click first, of course!) and typed in the same model numbers. Amazon had the exact same prices as Best Buy on all four models. The kicker is, I got NO SHIPPING and NO TAX! The tax alone saved me $60 (I live in Cook County, ouch).

On top of that, Amazon gives 6%. So, minus the 2click fee, Fisher House got 4.2% of my $600 purchase, or over $24. Just for making 2 extra clicks!!

The TV came to my front door, two days later and is now installed upstairs in the bedroom. Where I end my day watching Important Things with Demetri Martin (have you seen that? he's hysterical! It's on Comedy Central.).
