Top Money-Saving Grocery Apps

CHECKOUT51:

Checkout51 offers fewer (usually) higher-rebated items. Just snap a picture of your receipt and get cashback. When your account reaches $20, they’ll mail you a check.

BRANDCLUB:

I just learned about the most awesome way to earn cash. Sign up for FREE Brandclub and get $10 to start.

TO EARN MORE CASH:

  • Register click join for all of the “clubs” that are listed on that page

  • Connect your Amazon, Walmart, and Target accounts to get $7. They’ll load $10 for making a new account, then $7 from that.

  • Go to the home page in the app and scroll down to the tutorials. Scroll through those to get another $3.

  • It might take a day or so for them to allow you to cash out via Venmo or Paypal.

  • Make sure you do the email verification under the Rewards-cash out section as well.


IBOTTA:

Ibotta is one of my fave apps. Add deals for all kinds of items like food, alcohol, beauty items, clothes, and household items. Then scan your receipt (and usually the item’s bar code) after you buy the item. Once you get to $20, choose from PayPal or gift cards for places like Amazon.

For Apple and Android

FETCH APP:

Fetch is at the top of my fave apps.

Scan receipts for everything from groceries to gasoline and more.

TARGET CARTWHEEL APP:

With Target’s app, you browse and add offers to your unique bar code online. Then, just pull up the bar code on your phone and present it like a coupon at checkout.

RAKUTEN APP:

Hundreds of readers have gotten this deal and you can too! It’s so easy. Sign up for Rakuten using this referral link. You must be a new user and use the referral link to get $40 cash back.

Get paid for completing small “gigs” in your area with Gigwalk. Download the app and you’ll see a list of jobs you can apply for. If your application is accepted, you’ll have a certain timeframe to complete the task.

Examples of past gigs: going into a particular Hallmark store to make sure all the cards are in correct categories, or going into a Walmart to make sure a new Red Bull product display is organized with the correct call-outs.

Once you complete your mission, you’ll cash out through PayPal.

The simplest way possible to earn money from your receipts is by using Receipt Hog. Just take a picture of your receipt and upload it to the app, and you’ll earn coins. Trade your coins in for Amazon gift cards or PayPal cash.
