Saving Without Coupons - Using Apps

I wanted to share with you a few additional ways to save money on your purchases that didn't involve clipping coupons. I must admit that I am simply too frugal to regularly buy ink for my home printer. This means I often don't get in on those great deals that require printable coupons. But that doesn't mean I can't find other great ways to save.

I personally use each of the following apps, which are 100% to sign up for, and have earned hundreds of dollars in cash back or gift cards rewards. Please know that I do earn referral credits if you sign up for one of these apps through my referral link. In some cases, you also earn a referral credit for using my referral link.


Receipt Hog


Receipt Hog is a free mobile app that turns your everyday shopping receipts into easy cash rewards! For every qualifying receipt you snap a picture of and submit, you'll earn coins or spins depending on the retailer on your receipts, and a sweepstakes entry for a monthly drawing that could win you up to 5,000 coins! You can redeem your coins for Paypal credit, a Visa prepaid e-gift card or an Amazon e-gift card.




Ibotta

Ibotta is an app for your smartphone that lets you get cash back through rebates on products you buy at the stores. I usually use this mostly for groceries, but you can get money back on alcohol, household products at home improvement stores and even clothing at department stores!

It's 100% free to sign up. You can earn cash back 3 different ways: buying at the store and scanning your receipts; linking your store's loyalty card; and shopping online through Ibotta.

You earn actual money, not points to redeem! Once you've racked up at least $20, you can request a payment to Paypal or you can order one of their available gift cards.







ReceiptPal

Use ReceiptPal to snap your paper receipts, or connect your email or Amazon account, and you’ll earn points for every receipt for online purchases. You can redeem your points for gift cards from great retailers. Plus, you’ll be automatically entered into weekly sweepstakes for cash prizes. Minimum earning threshold is only 2,200 points which will earn you a $5 e-gift card.


Fetch


Fetch is a free app that turns grocery receipts into rewards. Just scan any grocery receipt, and earn points towards awesome rewards. You'll earn at least 1% on all listed brands and products, and gain access to exclusive offers that earn you even more points. No more entering codes, completing tasks or jumping through any hoops! Just scan your grocery receipt, and get rewarded.

Sign up with my referral link or my referral code V7FTN and you'll start out with 2,000 Fetch Points ($2.00 in points)!







Checkout 51

Another free app, Checkout 51 allows you to browse your offers and buy products at any store. Then, upload your receipt using Checkout 51. When your account balance reaches $20, you can cash out via PayPal or you can get a check in the mail.

Dosh

Dosh is the passive couponer's best friend. No receipts to scan!
Shop with Dosh and get cash back for shopping on items you already buy. Get money for shopping, eating, and booking hotels. Get paid when you shop and dine at the places you visit every week including Wendy’s, Uber, Sephora, Papa John’s, Grubhub, Old Navy, Gap, Domino’s, Forever 21, Apple Music, and more!

Simply download the Dosh app, securely connect your credit and debit cards, and live life as usual. Every time you use those cards, Dosh searches for available offers. If it finds one, Dosh automatically redeems the offer and converts it into cold, hard cash, then deposits it directly into your Dosh Wallet. You don’t have to do a thing.


Happy Couponing!

Thrifty Thursday: Couponing with Technology



I must admit that I am simply too frugal to regularly buy ink for my home printer. This means I often don't get in on those great deals that require printable coupons. But that doesn't mean I can't find other great ways to save.

In fact, I just tallied up my earnings - I'm at $311.64 between all my apps!

Here are just some of my favorite ways to coupon using technology. This is especially helpful if you have a Smartphone, although some of these apps can be used on a computer.

I'll post more next week!



Ibotta 
Ibotta is an app for your smartphone that lets you get cash back through rebates on products you buy at the stores. I usually use this mostly for groceries, but you can get money back on alcohol, household products at home improvement stores and even clothing at department stores! You can even 'stack' these savings with store and manufacturer's coupons!

It's 100% free to sign up.
You can earn cash back 3 different ways: buying at the store and scanning your receipts; linking your store's loyalty card; and shopping online through Ibotta.

You earn actual money, not points to redeem! Once you've racked up at least $20, you can request a payment to Paypal or Venmo, or you can order one of their available gift cards.

Sign up with my referral link and cash in your first rebate and you'll get $10 deposited in your account to get you started!

SavingStar    
SavingStar, which can be used on a computer or through its app, allows you to clip rebate-like ecoupons for groceries and home-goods products. You pay out of pocket, but then the value of the ecoupon will be put in your SavingStar account after purchase.

You must activate the ecoupon prior to purchasing in order to get the money in your account. To earn savings at some stores, like CVS and Stop & Shop, you link your loyalty card information and use it when you shop. For others, such as Target and Walmart, you just scan in your receipt. SavingStar's ecoupons can be stacked with store and manufacturer's coupons!

Cash out once you save $5 - get it directly deposited into your bank or PayPal account or donate it to charity!

Checkout 51 
Checkout 51
Checkout 51 can be used on a computer or through its app. It is similar to Ibotta in that are submitting for rebates. Unlike ibotta, which requires you to purchase certain products at certain stores, most of Checkout 51's rebates are not store-specific, however, the receipt must be itemized.

Cash out once you save $20 and get a spiffy check in the mail!

BevRAGE
My husband and I are very much into craft beers, but they are so costly! BevRAGE has helped take the sting out of our liquor store trips.

BevRAGE is a free app that allows you to get cash back on your purchase of alcohol and mixers - wine, beer and spirits - both at retail establishments as well as bars and restaurants. Some rebates are brand specific, while others are generic - for example, get $3 back on any 12-pack beer purchase. You must have an itemized receipt, whether from a store or a restaurant, in order to cash in a rebate.

BevRAGE is currently undergoing some maintenance - the last I used it, my earnings were immediately depositing into my PayPal account as I earned them. However, you may have to accumulated $20 now in order to cash out.

Shaw's My Mixx
If you shop at Shaw's, then you definitely need to get a free My Mixx account. You can log-on either on a computer or through their app using your phone number as your login. My Mixx is the closest to shopping with coupons, except no manual clipping involved!

Before shopping, "clip" the ecoupons that match what you plan to purchase. When you shop with your My Mixx account number, the coupon value is automatically deducted at checkout. Keep in mind that My Mixx coupons count as manufacturer's coupons, so you cannot stack with other manufacturer's coupons, nor do these coupons double like regular paper coupons often do.

Target Cartwheel
Target Cartwheel is probably one of the most well-known technology-based savings programs out there right now. It can be used either online or via the app. It's similar to My Mixx - clip your coupons prior to purchase, then have the cashier scan your barcode - either on the app or printed out - and your discounts will be taken off at checkout.

Just like to meander the store? You can scan items' UPC codes with your phone and Cartwheel will let you know if there's a coupon available for it!

The best part? Target Cartwheel has so much stacking potential!
Cartwheel coupon +
Target Store coupon +
Manufacturer’s coupon =
HUGE SAVINGS

Come back next week for a few more of my favorite technology-based savings methods!

Join Ibotta for Grocery Rebates - Get $10 to Start



My youngest sister is currently saving for a down payment on a house. It seems silly, but every little bit helps. So she was asking for ways to save even more money on groceries beyond the typical coupons. I got her hooked on Ibotta!

Ibotta is an app for your smartphone that lets you get cash back through rebates on products you buy at the stores. I usually use this mostly for groceries, but you can get money back on alcohol, household products at home improvement stores and even clothing at department stores!

It's 100% free to sign up.
You can earn cash back 3 different ways: buying at the store and scanning your receipts; linking your store's loyalty card; and shopping online through Ibotta.

Double Dip Money Back on Bananas



Many of you ask about saving money on meat and produce. Both of these types of items do have savings available, but it can sometimes be a bit of work.

Savings apps like Checkout 51 and Ibotta are two great ways to save on produce and meat. Both are 100% free to sign up. Checkout 51 can be used on the computer or on your Smartphone via an app, while Ibotta can only be used via the app. You can view and unlock rebates on Ibotta on the computer, but you'll need a Smartphone to scan the UPC/barcode on the item and scan your receipt.


This week, you can double dip on savings on bananas. Get 25 cents back via Checkout 51 on your banana purchase from ANY store that shows an itemized receipt for bananas. Get another 20 cents off your banana purchase through Ibotta for a purchase at a bunch of different stores including BJs, Stop & Shop, Shaw's, Walmart, Target, and ShopRite.

I bought 1 lb of bananas for $.49 at Shaw's. I redeemed my Ibotta rebate for 20 cents and my Checkout 51 rebate for 25 cents, so I paid a final price of 4 cents!!
