Apps I use to save money

 These are the apps I currently use to help stretch my dollar. Some of these won't work for you but maybe you'll find a new one you don't know about.

Fetch Rewards- scan your receipts and earn points. I scan every receipt and I cash out for Amazon gift cards. I've cashed out $80 gift cards so far. As long as this app is around I will not stop using it.

CVS- I use this to clip store coupons. When I get to the register I just enter my phone number and the coupons come off my total. You can earn rewards cash that you can use towards your total.

Walgreens- I use this mainly to track sales because they don't usually have coupons for what I use. This is another one where you enter your phone number at the register and the discounts come off. You also build up reward cash which you can use whole dollars of towards your purchases.

Dollar General- You can clip store coupons and at the register you enter your phone number and the coupons come off. I save a ton of money with this store using only the app.

Swag Bucks- I need to use it more but you scan your receipts and they give you points which you can use for gift cards and I think paypal money

Ibotta- Scan receipts with purchases that they reward you points for that I think you can turn into cash

Upside- link your debit card to it and get cash back for gas fill ups and also certain restaurants like Burger King. I've gotten paid out twice from them, it really does work

Shopkick- You go into a store and scan barcodes of different items and you cash out for giftcards

Receipt Hog- Scan receipts and earn points. I need to use this more but I always forget

Fluz- is a new one for me I'm not quite sure how it works yet but has been recommended a lot and says that it gives you cash back.

Miles- this is an app that everyone should have. You'll earn rewards just from driving/riding. You cash out for gift cards. It takes a TON of miles but you're driving anyway, might as well get rewards. Yes, you can get Amazon gift cards.


This next one is a website that I signed up with years ago.

www.bookbub.com is a site you sign up on and it send you ebook deals daily. I have built my kindle library through free books that I have gotten through this site. You get an email daily with the offers. Currently they have deals on Amazon, Nook, and Google

What have I done in October to get ahead?

The things I have done in October 2022 to get ahead have been not that many. But I figure if I start small I will grow big. Versus starting big and ending small. October I did a no spend challenge for the month. I only spent money on bills and envelopes.  Microsoft Bing Rewards. Every morning I get onto my Bing and I do my web searches, phone searches, and little points items the day has to offer. Currently at the end of October I have earned 17,263 points towards my 13,000 points needed for a $10 Amazon gift card. I will keep saving my points until December 31st and then I am going to be cashing out for Amazon cards to use towards financial books, budget binders, budget binder supplies, and the like. Then I will earn all of next year and cash on yearly on December 31st to see how much I actually make in a year. I have been scanning receipts into my Fetch Rewards app. I am currently at 12,966 points of my 50,000 points needed for a $50 Amazon gift card. I ended up leaving my job ...

Getting Started

 Getting started for me meant sitting down and figuring out what monthly recurring bills I have. Simple, I know. But for some reason I hadn't taken the time to write them down and things were falling through the cracks. It took getting a disconnect notice to realize I hadn't paid my electric bill for 2 months. I'm pretty sure that I'll have a notice on my internet bill this next cycle. I came up with the following list: Rent, 5 credit cards (trying to build my credit score), Savings, Paying off debt, Emergency Fund, Car Replacement fund, Pedicure (trying something out so this has become a need), Electric company, Car Insurance, Storage Unit (which will become the clothing fund in a month), Internet, Spending for me, Car Repairs, Family Fun, Garbage, Verizon (for my oldest), Household supplies, Tires, and Gas. Each of these has its own envelope with a sticky note on it stating how much it gets paid monthly. I also have a master list that states how much the item is paid ...

Unit Price Sam's Club comparison DISH SOAP

 One of the ways that I save money is by buying in bulk at Sam's Club. Here is an item that I buy at Sam's Club in bulk to save money. Dish Soap. I can save money some weeks by couponing but for those weeks that I am not able to coupon I have a gallon (128oz) jug that I can refill my kitchen bottle from. I pay $5.98/gal and that is equal to $0.046 per ounce. Let's call it $0.05 per ounce. Dish Soap at Walmart. I can get Ajax 14oz for $1.24 or $0.088 per oz that we'll just call $0.09 per ounce. This is the cheapest option for Walmart. I suggest you buy a bottle of soap at the store and then buy the gallon from Sam's Club and refill. By doing it this way, with these prices this is what you'll pay if you buy both bottles and then just refill vs buying just the Walmart bottle every time. Refilling is $1.24 for the Ajax plus $5.98 for the gallon. That equals out to $7.22 for 142 oz. In order to get the same amount of dish soap you'd have to buy 11 bottles of the ...
