We all like saving money in the traditional ways: free
stuff, coupons, sales, etc. But there are other ways for us to be smart
consumers, all it takes is a little bit of effort.

 

We spend time researching the best deals on the items we
want to buy, but we rarely think about what happens after we make the purchase.

With cash back credit cards, you can get $6 back after a
$100 purchase. It may seem like a small amount, but these rewards begin to add
up. And I’m not talking about frivolous purchases, either. This is money you
spend on gas and groceries. You’re going to buy the stuff anyway, so why not
put it on a credit card and get cash back?

To help you take advantage of this savings strategy, I’ve
compiled a list of the best cash back credit cards in 2015. For more info on
these cards, including instructions for signing up, check out Google
