When you’re not busy shopping the best deals and offers on the internet, catch up with your favorite cash back site in the news!
TopCashback has been making headlines for its expert savings tips for a long time, and now members like you can read all about them here. This latest edition of our In the News series features only a handful of the amazing coverage we’ve received in June, so keep your eyes peeled for additional TopCashback mentions across national and local publications.
Our resident consumer expert Samantha Landau appeared on KAGS-TV last month to talk about how Americans can save on their travel plans this summer.
To cut costs, she said, “you’re going to want to make sure you’re using the right credit card when shopping.” That is, a credit card that can rack up miles, points, cash back or other rewards.

Cheapism called out shoppers who aren’t using TopCashback to save on their Dollar Store purchases. (We currently offer cash back deals for the Dollar Tree online!)
Did you know that you can earn cash back on your groceries using the TopCashback mobile app? Samantha spoke to GOBankingRates about the benefits of our iOS- and Android-supported app, which “guarantees the highest cash back rates on all qualifying purchases at over 7,000 stores nationwide, such as Instacart, Kroger and HelloFresh.”
You might’ve noticed the Kirkland brand dominating the aisles at Costco. And for good reason! The budget-friendly label is a household staple with many shoppers. Yahoo! Finance highlighted five of Kirkland’s best value products with a little help from Samantha.
“Consider Costco’s 180-count Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Towelettes for $19.99,” she noted. “Amazon Basics has an alternative—150-count makeup remover wipes for $20.04.”
“Not only are you paying a bit more for Amazon’s option,” she added, “but you’re also getting less product than you would by purchasing this item at Costco.”
Enough said.
Walmart, like Costco, carries its own affordable brands—including Mainstays. Samantha wisely pointed out to MSN readers the label’s four-pack of 28 in. x 60 in. striped beach towels, which is selling for $16.98.
“Target is selling their beach towels in a two-pack for $10,” she added. “When comparing the two big-box stores, Walmart’s offer will save you a few bucks when buying in quantities of four.”
Samantha connected with Best Life last month to discuss which items are cheaper to buy at Dollar Tree than its competitors.
“Check out Dollar Tree’s three-outlet, six-foot indoor extension cord for $1.25,” she advised. “A similar option on Amazon will run you $2.85.”

Buying in bulk doesn’t always save you the most money. Samantha told NewsBreak’s audience what to look for when shopping—and gave a mini math lesson in the process.
“Calculate the cost per unit by dividing quality of the item by its price,” she instructed. “If you see a value pack of an item on your shopping list, divide the price of the value pack by the number of items it contains in order to determine the cost per unit.”
