I currently use three different apps.
The main one I use is called Ibotta. When you go to sign up you can use my referral code to help you out: aaobmao. This one is fairly easy to use. You scan your QR code and then you pick the items that are on your receipt that you purchased. Once that happens they'll send you an email saying your savings have been added to your account. So far today I've saved $4 on different items that I purchased from Wal-Mart. Keep in mind that you have to reach $20 to make a withdrawal, but it's well worth the few extra minutes you spend in your car to scan that receipt.
The second app I use is called Checkout51. you can use my Checkout51 code to help you sign up. I've used it for a while. It used to be a little more complicated, but has gotten a lot easier. I click the items I would likely purchase from the list of coupons available, this is called adding offers. Then I click redeem and upload my receipt if I happened to have purchased those items at the store.
The third app I use is Coupons. I click my stores I normally use and I add items that I might purchase from the available coupons list. Then once I purchase some items I submit my receipt and then it's up for review and those amounts I saved are up for review and will be put into my account.
Okay. So there's a few ways that I save money when it comes to couponing. It can be a slight headache with children, but if you have time, you're dedicated and you're willing. You're going to save some money in the end! I hope these help all you penny pinchers out there! I know they do me!
Have a great school year people!
