I love a good deal. Coupons, sales, clearance items, they all make my heart SINGGGGG. Most of the time though, trying to save a little extra coin turns into another full-time job that I didn't ask for (right up there with being a human tissue for my kid). Will these save you enough to retire and sip your coffee while it's still warm??? No....BUT these apps can make it to where you aren't throwing away extra money that you don't need to be. Maybe it'll be enough to ease the strain on your wallet when it comes to school supplies, extra curricular activities, or to get a gift for the 15th birthday party that you have to go to this month---every little bit helps and these money savings apps will do the trick.
Links/Codes below may provide you as well as myself with bonuses/incentives at no cost to you. Feel free to use them or search on your own.
Even though paper coupons are wonderful, it can be hard to find them, keep track of them, and make sure that you have them on you when you need them. What's something that we always have though? Our phones. These apps are free to download, easy to use, and always just a click away.
Best Apps to Download Today!
Ibotta: You will find everything from grocery bonuses to percentages back from online shopping on this app. You can get a lot of different variations of cash back, some $0.25 and even other bonuses for $5, $10, etc. The only thing you will want to be sure of is to add the items you bought before you scan your receipt and go through the app to use the specialized link to earn for purchases online or it won't count! Once you rack up the savings you can cash it out for gift cards, to PayPal, or directly to you bank account Use code: ismwgwp to get $5 when you submit your first receipt!
Fetch: This is probably the most widely usable app given that you can get points for uploading just about any receipt. While you still scan your receipts like Ibotta, you receive points vs dollar amounts that can be redeemed for a gift card to different stores, charity donations, estaurants and more. Use code: FF2465 to get 1,000 points when you scan your first receipt!
Upside: By far I use this app more than any of the others. Even though you can find offers for restaurants on this the best use by far is to get money off of gas! At select gas stations you can get anywhere from 5-20 cents off EACH gallon of gas depending on the grade you get. Plus, if you fill up 10 times in a month you will get a special bonus on your first fill up in the new month. Use code: 52FX4 for an extra 15 cents off per gallon on your first fill up!
Poshmark: I'm the first to admit this is a bit of a hit or a miss but depending on the item things can sell fast. Will you make hundreds like the commercial says? Maybe not but if it's between throwing things away and getting some money back, it's worth a try. You can sell clothes, household items, toys, shoes, purses, and a whole host of other items that are used or new. Plus you can buy from sellers from all over which can be especially helpful if you are searching for something particular or looking to get a good deal on something you've had your eye on. Get $10 upon joining by using code SSRUN
