Got my Freezer! & EBates over $60!

I am excited I got my new freezer today. I was going to wait until it cooled down in the garage to swap the stuff over but I couldn't wait.
Getting the Freezer was fun. Lucky for me the closest Lowes Home Improvement is only 3 miles away. They loaded it up in the back of the truck and I got to drive 20 miles per hour home. I was happy to find out that I did not have to drive but only a few hundred feet on the busy road, I cut through parking lots and that made me not worry about holding people up. I did make my husband come and bring #1 to the bottom of a hill so he could make sure it didn't tip right before we got home. Whew! Now I get to fill it up the rest of the way because Triple coupons start Sept 18th at Harris Teeter.

On a separate note, I am over $60 on my Ebates account. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. I am not one for buying a lot on the Internet. But I did sign up on May 28th, when I needed to buy window fans. I couldn't find them locally and figured rather than search all over the place I would look on line. As luck would have it the cheapest place also has 3% back at J and R Music world of all places! When I signed up (through someone else who's blog I follow) at that time they had a special Promotion going and I got $10 for signing up along with my 3% back.
Here is my break down so far-
$10 to sign up
$1.80 (J& R Music World) 2 window fans
$4.30 (Best Deal Magazines)For a magazine subscription I found at the book Store
$5.04 (Petcare RX)for Advantage for Black Kitty
and a $5.00 Bonus for a friend signing up
I have already gotten that check for $26.14

Then on the new quarter
$19.96 (Target.com) for a Wedding gift for my sister where she was registered (Thanks SIS!)
$2.24 (Shoes.com) I have big feet finding shoes in size 11 is hard they had cute sandals (which aren't as cute in size 11 but I still like them)
$8.10 (Kohls.com) Business purchases
$6.40 (Shoes.com) I needed NAVY blue shoes for my dress for my sister reception those are VERY hard to find, then try and get them in size 11? I looked for several weeks and in several stores.

I also have 2 small ones (less than $2 total) pending from Marriott.com, we had to reserve a room in Greenville for the MS150 and again in Jacksonville FL when we go to FL for my sister reception.

All of these things are things I was doing anyways. I have also bought some items that weren't on Ebates, no one carried the tent foot print in the size we needed that are registered at Ebates so I bought it at the one place that carried it.
