Top 10 Money Making & Money Saving Apps

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

We all love a good deal, and I'm pretty sure we all love to save money when we're shopping. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, that actually isn't a secret, but did you know that you can actually get paid for shopping?! I know, I know, but seriously hear me out. I am going to share with you all my top 10 favorite money making and money saving apps! 
These aren't gimmicks or scams, I wouldn't do that to you! They actually work, and you actually get paid! I genuinely love these apps and use them almost daily, so I want to shout it from the rooftops!! I love a great deal and saving money, and when it's easy to do, that's even better! And the best thing yet, they are all free to use!
#1. Ibotta ~ is my absolute favorite money making app! Ibotta is an app that allows you to earn money by purchasing participating items. You can earn this money in addition to using manufacturer and store coupons. And the best part: You don't even need your phone while you are shopping!! All the work is done once you get home! Cash back every time you shop. You get cash back for buying everyday household items, clothing, and groceries like milk, fresh produce and bread. Scan your receipt and the rebate money gets added to your account. Plus if you use my referral code, ityhrnr, YOU will receive $10 when you verify your first rebate! Instant money! You can have the cash you earn be transferred to your PayPal account, or you can choose to get it back in gift cards such as Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Sephora, iTunes, Cabala's and more. An awesome bonus to this app is that every time you refer someone and they verify their first rebate, you earn $5! Click here and watch the money roll in. I love getting paid to shop, especially when it's things I have to buy anyways! Here's how it works:
*Download the App. Download the Ibotta app, available on iOS and Android. The app is required to submit a receipt. And please make sure to use my referral code, ityhrnr, so you get $10!
*Unlock Rebates. Before you go shopping, unlock cash rewards on great products by completing simple tasks.
*Go Shopping. Buy the products you’ve unlocked at any supported store.
*Verify Your Purchases: Scan your product barcodes, then submit a photo of your receipt.
*Get Cash. You’ll have the cash deposited into your Ibotta account within 48 hours.
#2.  Walmart Savings Catcher ~ is another great money making one! I've been using this one for almost 2 years. I just love it! All you have to do is download their free app, create an account, shop, and then scan your Walmart receipt. The app does all the work for you. If there is a lower advertised price from another store in the area for an exact item you bought, Walmart will pay you the difference! This one is so stinking easy to use, and if you shop at Walmart regularly you should definitely get it! As soon as I get in my car when I am ready to leave Walmart, I scan my receipt. It takes up to 48 hours for them to process your receipt. You can save up your earnings or cash them in right away.
Here’s how it works:
*Submit your receipt to Savings Catcher in any one of two ways: #1 Enter the receipt number (the TC number) into Savings Catcher at savingscatcher.walmart.com or in the Walmart Android or iPhone app. You’ll find this number located near the bottom of your printed Walmart store receipt. Or #2 Scan the code at the bottom of your printed store receipt, using the scanner in the Savings Catcher section of the Walmart app.
*Savings Catcher compares the prices of the eligible items you bought at Walmart to the advertised prices found in the print and online versions of the weekly ads of top retailers in your area. The ads must be valid at the time you made your Walmart purchase.
*If Savings Catcher finds an advertised price that is lower than what you paid for the same exact item at Walmart, you’ll get back the difference in the form of Savings Catcher Reward Dollars, which can be redeemed for a Walmart Rewards eGift Card or Walmart Bucks added to your Bluebird by American Express Card, which can be used to make purchases exclusively in-store at Walmart or online at Walmart.com
#3.  Find&Save ~ is a great money making app for bigger purchases. Just download the app, snap a photo of your receipt and start saving. This app gives you money for spending money and gives you a percentage of cash back. For instance one Cash Dash (deal) is for 3% cash back when you spend $150 at Costco. Another Cash Dash is that you get $5 for spending $100 at Home Depot, or $3 for spending $75 at Target, etc. Find&Save is a referral app and you can make extra money when someone signs up and redeems a Cash Dash offer. Use my referral code QG3K, and I will earn $3. And when someone signs up using your referral code, you get $3! This link is to a blog explains how Find&Save works really well.  Just download the app and start making money!
#4.  Shopmium ~ this app is by coupons.com, and when you sign up you will receive a free Lindt Chocolate bar, just by using my referral code, KMEKGHFH. This is also a referral app and you will ear $2 for every person you refer! This app is pretty easy to use. You can use clipped coupons with this app to save even more money, so all the extra money you will get from Shopmium, is just icing on the cake!
Here's how to get started with Shopmium:
*Create a Shopmium account. I'd love for you to use my referral code, KMEKGHFH.
*Download the Shopmium app to your smart phone.
*Choose an offer and find that item in any store you shop in
*Buy the product and keep your receipt
*Scan the barcode and take a picture of your receipt
*Receive your rebate via Paypal or transfer to your bank account
#5.  Checkout51 ~ using this app is another easy way to make some cash from grocery shopping. It's similar to Ibotta and Shopmium. Every Thursday new items are added and the offers are good until the next Wednesday. You have to shop and upload your receipt while the offers are good.
How to start saving:
*Download the app
*Browse the offers to find savings
*Head to the grocery store, buy the products and keep your receipt
*Use to app to upload a photo of your receipt
*Get the cash added to you account!
*Once your account reached $20 they will mail you a check.

#6.  Snap by Groupon ~ this is a super easy way to earn cash by grocery shopping. This app is so easy to use. Just snap a picture of you receipt proving your bought a promoted item and get cash.
Getting started with Snap:
*Download the app
*Browse the special offers before you shop
*Buy Promoted items at any store
*Snap a photo of your receipt within 2 days of purchase
*Get Cash Back!
 #7.  Cartwheel ~ this is an awesome app from Target and another one of my favorites! Cartwheel is a free savings program that you use at Target where you can save anywhere from 5-50% on the items you purchase. You choose the offers you want to use and scan the barcode at checkout to save. You can download Cartwheel from the app store on your smartphone or access it from a computer. Plus if you use your Target RedCard you will also save 5% on your entire purchase. An awesome feature I use overtime is the scanner. You use your phone to scan the barcode, while your in the store, to see if there is a cartwheel offer for the item. This is another one where you just download the app and start saving money!
#8.  Flipp ~ is a coupon app that matches up coupons with local ad sales. It also has all of the stores ads and flyers right at your fingertips. You can search a coupon by name and it will show which store has them on sale and if there's a coupon for it also. Never miss a coupon! You can even clip the coupons and print them! This app is super handy to use! Just download the app and save!
#9. SnipSnap ~ I never miss out on a store coupon! I use this all the time when I need a 20% off Kohls coupon, or 40% Hobby Lobby coupon. This comes in so handy because if you're anything like me you always leave those awesome coupons laying on the desk instead of remembering to bring them with you...Doh! You can search by store name or by popular coupons. Just find the coupon you want and Snip it, when you go to check out the cashier with can the coupon barcode. This is definitely an app I use often! Just download it and start saving!
#10. Groupon ~ This has been around for awhile and for good reason, it's awesome. You can search local deals, or deals in other cities. And if you buy a Groupon and you forget to use it before it expired, you're not out the money it just goes into your Groupon account as credit towards for next purchase. Their customer service
is amazing too! The way it works is that Groupon offers different deals each day for a local good, service or event in a city where it operates. Discounts range from 50 percent to 90 percent off. The promotion is only valid to a certain number of customers and usually the offer is only good for a limited amount of time. So if you see something you want, you better grab it.

If you use any of these apps let me know how you like them. And if you decide to try any of these let me know! I'd love to hear about you earning some cash and saving money :) Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day :)
