I’m all about finding simple ways to save money without giving up the things I love—and Rakuten is one of my favorite hacks for that. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a free cashback site that gives you money back just for shopping through their links. Sounds too good to be true, but I promise—it’s legit and super easy.

I use Rakuten whenever I’m online shopping (which is, let’s be real, pretty often). All I do is go to Rakuten first, click on the store I want to shop at (like Target, Ulta, or even Etsy), and it redirects me to the site like normal. I shop how I normally would, and then bam—a few days later, I see cash back show up in my account. It adds up fast, especially during big shopping seasons or when I’m stocking up on essentials.

The best part? It’s totally free to use, and they even give you a bonus just for signing up and making your first purchase. So if you're not already using Rakuten, it’s honestly just free money left on the table. And I’m all about the soft saves around here. 💸
