Money saving apps and websites

These are a few of my favorite money saving apps and websites. Some of them even give you money or gift cards!

Websites:


I really like mypoints because you get points for shopping online. And those points can then be turned into gift cards or cash via a Paypal account. There are several ways to earn points. Such as taking surveys, purchasing items online, watching videos, and printing grocery coupons. Their online grocery coupon section is powered by coupons.com. If you download their add on it will let you know how many points per dollar you will receive and if there are any online coupon codes. Some examples of online coupon codes would be free shipping or a free gift with purchase. With this website I have already made enough points to get $100 in amazon gift cards. And I used those to buy Christmas and birthday presents.
If you are interested please PM me and I can send you an invite.


I love coupons.com. Before I go out for my grocery shopping I always check out their site (through mypoints, but if you decide not to use them you can go directly to coupons.com). They allow 2 prints per coupon per computer.(So if you have 2 computers, you could print the same coupon 4 times!!) They even sometimes have coupons for car care, movies, and prescriptions.


The krazy coupon lady is probably by far my favorite website. On their website you can find all sorts of steals. If you have not checked them out you should. I could go on and on for days about how wonderful they are.
Apps:

IBOTTA
My favorite shopping app is Ibotta. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! This app gives you rebates for buying things you already buy. Such as fruit snacks, baby food, milk, and eggs, just to name a few. To unlock the rebates you simply answer a short survey (I have never had one more than 2 questions), learn a fact, or watch a short clip. Their are bonuses available for buying more than one item in a category or redeeming the same rebate 2 months in a row. There is also a teamwork section, if you and your teammates reach certain goals during a month you get extra cash! With this app I was able to cash out and buy Christmas presents. Purchase the item and snap a picture of your receipt. This app is available in the Google play and apple app store. If you sign up be sure to enter my referral code: efwsdfr

CHECKOUT 51
Another one the money saving apps I have in my arsenal is checkout 51. Unlike with Ibotta, most of the items can be redeemed at any store. Simply purchase the item, snap a picture of your receipt and boom! Money in the bank. You do have to get a total of $20 before you can cash out. But it is not hard. This too was another app I used around Christmas time and used it to help pay for gifts.

RECEIPTPAL
Receipt pal is not a money saving app, but they do give you points for shopping. Those points can then be turned into gift cards. They simply want to know what you are buying. Take a picture of your receipt and wait for the points to be credited to your account. Receiptpal does not discriminate against the type of receipt. As long as it has a purchase date and time, vendor name and items they will accept it.

RECEIPT HOG
Receipt hog is another app that likes to know what you are buying. This one gives you coins in turn those coins can be turned in for gift cards or cash through a PayPal account. They accept coins from grocery stores and major retailers. The amount of coins you get is based off the total purchase price. For example if you make a purchase that is less than $10 you will get 5 coins. If you make a purchase that is $50-100 you get 15 coins, and if you make a purchase of $100 or more you get 20 coins. Some receipts give you spins. You can use those spins to get extra coins, or even win $100. If you wish to try this one out add my referral code: clong289

RETAILMENOT
This is a great app for when you are on the go. They have mobile coupons for many stores such as Jcpenny, Joann's, and Kohl's. Whenever I am out somewhere I always search to see if the store I am at has a coupon through this app.

FAVADO
Favado is an app that searches what is on sale. If there are coupons that you are able to stack on top of the sale they let you know where to find the coupon and what your final cost would be.

TARGET CARTWHEEL
This app is only for Target stores. This app gives you additional savings on hundreds of items. If you do not have a smart phone, but still wish to use cartwheel you can. Simply sign up for it online and print out your own personal bar code. You can add items to your cartwheel via app or online.

WALMART SAVINGS CATCHER
The Wal-mart savings catcher can be found inside the Wal-mart app. If you shop at Wal-mart simply scan the bar code at the bottom of your receipt and if there is a lower advertised price they will give you the difference on an e-gift card.
