My favorite App on my phone is Ibotta. This is an App that gives you cash back on hundreds of product that you will buy anyways. The rebates do change from time to time. One of the things I really like about Ibotta is that if you redeem a rebate it usually reappears in 3 days or so. I can't tell you how many $3.00 rebates I've gotten back on 18 packs or larger of Bud Light. I started couponing and looking to save money in April of 2015 and on Ibotta alone I'm almost at $275.00 saved. If you use my link and referral code that I'm posting you will get a $10.00 bonus if you redeem one rebate within two weeks. Referral bonuses can change so I would download quick. Just think you spend for example 16.99 on a case of bud light which is the price at Bakers currently and you're a new user. You submit that 3.00 rebate get our 10 dollar bonus. You essentially just paid 3.99 for 24 beers. Now that I really have your attention Ibotta offers many "goals" that you can hit over a weeks time or months time that gives you money back on products you normally buy and it's simple to use. Whether you like beer, wine, or liquor or you're just using it for the groceries or household items there is plenty to get money back on. This app allows you to even make money on items that coupons might make free. The link to use to get started is listed below and is my most recommended app. Just copy and paste into your URL bar and enjoy cash back. I made it almost a full year before my wife found out I was putting money from rebates in my paypal account for myself before she caught on. My advise if you don't want to get caught...don't start a blog.

The second app I use frequently is Cartwheel by Target. They add new deals every Sunday and sometimes will add special one day deals that make for great sales. All you have to do is search for the item you're looking to buy if it's in there you add it to your list and show the barcode at checkout. You start off only being able to add a few items at a time but the more you use it the more products they allow you to add. They will post items from all departments on here so never assume what you're buying isn't an option. In 11 months I've saved almost $204 by just clicking a few buttons. It takes basically no work to utilize.
Another App I'm excited to share with you is Savingstar. With savingstar they have a couple different types of rebates. They have rebates like normal buy and item save a buck or two and you can cash out when you hit $5.00. Then they have what the call one or more rebates. One of the more recent ones I did for this was Purex. If you spend 15 dollars or more on Purex you get 4 dollars back. With these you don't have to buy the full amount at once and just scan the item in when you get it. You usually have a month or two to hit the threshold and get your money. I've had this turn into moneymaking deals matching with sales/coupons/giftcards/etc. But even if you don't want to clip a coupon you're still saving good money. The great thing about Savingstar is that they have partnerships with a lot of online retailers as well. I have gotten money back for buying on Kohls.com and for booking hotels through different sights. If you travel a lot or shop online check out their deals you might be pleasantly surprised. I've saved almost 88 bucks alone in under a year using this app.
When it comes to grocery shopping I love Bakers. All you really need at Bakers is to get their free Loyalty Bakers Shopping Card. It automatically discounts most items even though the prices without the card are inflated pretty well but it also gets you all of the discounts and sales automatically. With the app you can add coupons from their list that will come off at the register without ever having to clip one. Most of the coupons match up with what was in the recent Sunday papers. Bakers Mega Sales like they're doing now are awesome. They have a lot of items on their Mega Sale list that are buy 5 save 5. A lot of these items are on sale and then an additional 1.00 off for buying 5 select items. There are always freebies before and after rebates at these sales. It's where a lot of my moneymaking items come from. A really nice feature of the App is the Free Friday Download where you just add the Free Item sometime on Friday and have a couple weeks to purchase. After you start using it a bit they usually send you "Best Customer Coupons." These can range from additional free items (I just had a free bag of Oreos and a Birds Eye Meal) to different coupons not normally in the paper. This can be really handy if you're busy and don't want to deal with finding, printing, and clipping coupons.
CVS will post Coupons on their app and then you can also print them off at their "Redbox" at the entrance of each store. If you join their email list they will send you a coupon most weeks that you can combine with manufacture coupons, store coupons, and Extrabuck deals that they have. CVS is where I would get $80 worth of product for 10 or 15 bucks. Apparently though if you save 700 in 8 or 9 months they stop sending you coupons to your email. Their coupons were for example spend 15 get 5 back or spend 30 get 10 back. It's a great place to stock up until they decide to stop sending you offers.

I like Checkout 51 but I don't love it. It has a few offers and it all depends what you buy. I have been using it a bit more recently then what I used too. On this it's just like Ibotta buy and Item select it and upload the receipt. I've saved 15.75 in just under a year and you can cash out for a check at 20.
There are other Apps out there to use. These are the ones that I use. I have family and friends who have had a lot of success with Walmarts app and the Savings Catcher option in there. Basically all you do is upload your receipt and if they find any cheaper deals you get a credit for the difference on the app. You can use this and your other rebates for additional savings.
Hy-vee has upped their app and discount card. There are a lot of opportunities to save big money on gas and they also have mobile coupons. I don't shop a lot at Hy-vee anymore because I feel I save more at Bakers but if you travel a lot or have a vehicle you can max the 20 gallons you get discounted with their offers you can really make good use of it. With Hyvee you really have to watch your deals and gas rewards you get back but you can make it worth it.
There are other opportunities for sure but these are the best ones that I know of out there for sure. I asked around why people don't coupon and had my wife ask people she knows as well. The answers we got were pretty similar. I don't have time I'm too busy or I'm just too lazy and don't think about it. These apps don't take a lot of thought and the rebate ones can be done after you have already completed your shopping trip. Add up what I've saved on Ibotta, Cartwheel, Savingstar, and Checkout 51 in under one year. This doesn't include any sales, coupons, or other offers that might have been going on at that time and you get $580. What would you do with an additional $580 without ever clipping a coupon not to mention what you can save with mobile coupons. I never even included the fact that I have the Redcard from Target and save 5% on every purchase. I've save over 100 bucks in the last year with that as well. You don't have to be a crazy couponer to save great money and I will continue to give you deals to help you along the way. After the Redcard I've shown you that you can save over $700 in a year. Use my link to join Ibotta and start saving money. This is the easiest way to do it. Obviously putting coupons with rebates makes it better if you can but it's not necessary and that's the biggest confusion people have when it comes to shopping. I hope I can continue showing you easy ways to save and if you have any questions on any of this please comment I check regularly throughout the day and evening and will get back to you as soon as possible.
