This post contains affiliate links, but these are all apps I use myself. This post was originally published in 2012 and I have updated because many of these apps I sill use today!
ibotta
Why do I like this app?
IBotta is cool because you can redeem offers but you can also use manufacturer coupons with these offers. You can 'like' the offers you like so you get the offers you want. The money redeemed from any offers goes straight to your Paypal or you can donate to a charity. They have "ANY BRAND" offers which include like any brand milk, eggs, salad, pasta sauce, etc. You can also use paper coupons or store e-coupons with this app.
How can this app benefit you?

Coupons.com

Print HIGH VALUE Coupons.com coupons from my iPhone or iPad with ease, add coupons to my shopper's card, and score other's discounts from retailers all at the click of a button, in the palm of my hand.

I do like the idea of all of the apps to help save money on groceries and other different goods. Unfortunately, I don't have a smart phone, but the convenience does sound really tempting enough to go out and get one. Thanks for your article.
ReplyDeleteHmmm this app sounds like heaven to any mom. Frugality is a life style nowadays and any apps helping to save money are just precious!
ReplyDeleteBtw I am giving away 10 ads spot of 125x125 px incase you are interested :)
I put up the link on my name.
Those all sound like great apps. Sadly, I am not frugal at all and almost never even use coupons. Sigh.

I recently downloaded grocery IQ, not for the coupons persay, but to make sure we follow a list when we go shopping!
ReplyDeleteThose do seem like a bunch of really useful apps! The only apps I have on my phone are the ones my kids have loaded on, which are games! I'm going to check some of these out!
ReplyDeleteI love Ibotta! I use it all the time, as well as a few of the others, and some you haven't mentioned. Other than Ibotta, im still figuring them out, but I'll have to let you know how they go!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to share ones I missed. :)
DeleteThese look like great apps that I will have to check out!
ReplyDeleteSchoola, Cartwheel and Pampers are my constants!! I will have to check out the others!!
ReplyDeleteI am a big Ibotta fan. I was just there looking for rebates. Today's shopping day, and I want to make sure I get the most out of my trip. Thredup is great, too, for gently used clothes.
ReplyDeleteCurious its 2017 now are you still couponing? I'm just starting thanks for all the APPS and Ideas. I agree its a lot of work we do for coupons then to watch someone take the easy way is notbabgood feeling. Would you handle the same situation differently now? if you are still couponing. Thanks Tammi (BEGINNER)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great info. Just curious I see that some of these comments were written in 2012 are you still couponing? I really appreciate all the great info. (BEGINNER) TAMMI ANY NEW THOUGHTS? THANKS AGAIN
ReplyDeleteNo they’ll send you e-Gift cards for various places too.
