Everywhere USA, December 2011 — They say it’s a way to save money on the gifts you purchase and have a percentage of what you spend go back to your favorite cause, at no cost of obligation to you. Goodshop.com has partnered with more than 2,500 retailers such as Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Gap, PetSmart and others to donate up to 30% of virtually every purchase to the charity of the user’s choice. In addition, GoodShop offers over 100,000 money-saving coupons and free shipping deals. So, people are saving money and helping a cause they care about at the same time at no extra cost to them. It’s a form of philanthropy that works for everyone in this tough economy.   In addition, for every search conducted on the sister site GoodSearch.com (powered by Yahoo!), approximately one penny is donated to the user’s favorite charity.  You can use it exactly like any other search engine, but with GoodSearch, the pennies add up quickly. Just 500 people searching four times a day will earn approximately $7,300 a year.  Plus, it doesn’t cost the users a thing!
