Don't stress out because the best part of being a Savvy Saver is that you are creative and use the tools that you have at your disposal. And you are probably using it right now.... YEP! Your smartphone!
Couponing has become so much easier with mobile coupons and downloadable apps like Target Cartwheel, Target Mobile Coupons (text OFFERS to 827438 to sign up), and even apps like ShopKick. Plus just about every grocery store (Kroger, Publix, Target and many more) has an app that has integrated coupons into their apps. Making savings just a click away by adding coupons to your store savings card.
If you have not already signed up for a store card at your favorite grocery store, take the time on your next visit.
So here is a brief run down of some of the mobile apps I use.
Ibotta - They offer cash back for items that buy everyday (eggs, milk, bread, laundry detergent, and even LIQUOR!). Once you download the app, I would recommend using your Facebook account to login. This way you can connect with Facebook friends and earn money for team activities.
All you need to do is click the item you plan to buy and either take a 1 question survey, watch a short video, read info about the product, or post to Facebook. Then after your purchase, scan your receipts. Once verified (usually withing 2-3 hours) the credit will appear on your profile. Once you earn $10, you can cash out! You can have money transferred to Your PayPal account or use it on select eGift cards. I have used both methods and it definitely pays to save!
**If you use coupons on the items you purchase, you might end up snagging something for FREE OR MAKING MONEY just for buying something!!!
Kroger - They have a mobile app that allows you to added the coupons you select to your savings card. Then later when you shop you can either scan your card or enter your alternate ID (usually a phone number).
Old Navy - Click here to sign up for mobile alerts. Another great thing about Old Navy is that they participate with ShopKick, so every time you walk in, you earn kicks! Plus when you make a purchase with a linked card, you earn more kicks.
Publix - They have a mobile app that allows you to added the coupons you select to your savings card. Then later when you shop you can either scan your card or enter your alternate ID (usually a phone number).
ShopKick - Go to your App Store or Play Store and download the ShopKick App. Register is very easy. The great thing about this app is that they have partnered with various retailers and reward us for shopping at these stores. So once you download the app and register, you can start earning kicks that can be redeemed for a variety of rewards. For instance, I am working towards a Hyatt gift card. Check out the possible choices from gift cards, movie tickets, clothing, or even a CRUISE!
Link a credit or debit card to earn an initial 200 kicks! Then start shopping with the linked card to earn more kicks.
**Remember to open the app as you walking in to earn kicks and scan items to earn even more**
Target Cartwheel - This app is great for saving money on things we by everyday! You can save from 5% to 50% on select items. Check your App Store or Play Store and download the Target Cartwheel app. Sign up is very simple. Next find the "offers" tab and tap the item you want to add. Right now I am able to add up to 21 items. Don't forget to show the cashier your phone so they scan the barcode. **be patient, the percentage will not come off until AFTER all coupons and other discounts have been taken AND the cashier presses the TOTAL button**
Target Mobile Coupons - text OFFERS to 827438. You will have to register, which only takes a few moments. After that you will receive weekly coupons. Just follow the link they send and if you purchase the particular item(s), remember to give your phone to the cashier so the barcode can be scanned.
Have a great day Bloggers!
