JoeShopping.com Review & $50 Amazon GC Giveaway

With two little ones, I have found it's much easier to do most of my shopping online. Rather than fight the crowds and stand in long lines with a 3 year old who needs to use the potty and a 1 year old who is tired and hungry...I prefer to shop from my home at a time that works best for me. The problem is, shopping online isn't always the most convenient way to shop either. Browsing site after site looking for the right product at the best price can take a lot of time. That is, unless you're using JoeShopping.com!
JoeShopping.com is a combination of comparison shopping and the best parts of social network websites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Users can compare products/prices, post photos, add videos, write a product review or blog post, win prizes, and so much more! They don't actually sell anything on their site, but instead show you the best/cheapest places on the Web to find them and send you right there.

I have had the opportunity to check out JoeShopping.com and am impressed with how user-friendly it is. I can now go to one site that will compare prices and stores for me. I simply search for the product I'm looking for (like a new flat screen tv for my hubby) and up comes up a number of possibilities with prices, stores, coupons, etc. It's that simple! I love that there are also reviews to help me in making my purchase as well.

As I said though, it's not just the comparison shopping that makes this website so great. Yes, it helps you save time and money...but there's also a fun social aspect to it too. You can upload a photo, write blog posts, write a shopping status, etc. I love that you can even earn badges based on doing various activities. They're just fun, cute little achievements to show off on your page.

There are also a couple of really great promotions going on you'll want to check out too.

• The Monthly JoeShopping Sweepstakes is a random drawing. You earn JoePoints just by using the social network side of the site. (Upload a photo, write a blog post, write a shopping status, etc.) You can earn points throughout the entire month. At the end of the month, your total points are converted to entries in the sweeps. So the more active on the site you are, the more points you earn. Which means the more active you are, the better your chance of winning.
  

• The second promo is the Refer a Friend. This isn't random. Basically you refer your friends to the site via email or by posting your referral link anywhere you want (blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). You earn points based on the people who sign up AND use the site. So instead of just rewarding you for sending 10 people to the site, you'd be rewarded for the total POINTS those 10 people earn.
  

If you're like me and prefer to do most of your shopping online, be sure to check out JoeShopping.com. Comparison shopping has never been so fun! Keep your eye out for more great features coming in the next few months...this is just the beginning for JoeShopping.com.
