Do you goodshop?

One way you can give to New Rattitude with with no money coming out of your pocket is to goodshop. Goodshop.com is a Website with links to hundreds of retail Websites. All you have to do is designate New Rattitude as the group that you goodshop for and then link to your favorite online store through the goodshop site. Anything you spend there during that "shopping trip" earns money for us.

So save yourself some driving this season and shop from your computer instead. You can buy just about anything through goodshop. Recently I asked the volunteers at New Rattitude what the weirdest or most obscure thing that they have ever goodshopped for. I wanted to get some examples for you to prove that just about anything can be found on goodshop - and earn New Rattitude some money when you buy it.

They came back with some great things: smurfs, herbal moth repellant, day planner refill pages, shoes, specialty skin care products and German silver cello strings.

Some of the most common sites that people shop at can be linked to from Goodshop: Target.com, Bestbuy.com, Amazon.com, L.L. Bean, Gap, eBay, Toys R Us, drugstore.com, giftcertificates.com...

A Website that one of my adopters told me about and I just love is Drs. Foster & Smith Pet Supplies (drsfostersmith.com). They have great prices and a huge selection of doggy stuff. Another Washington New Rattitudette swears by Zappos.com, an online shoe store. I'm sure that whatever you love to shop for, you'll find it on goodshop.com. It's a great way to stretch your holiday shopping dollar: you will be shopping and giving to charity at the same time.
