4 ways to save money when shopping

4 Ways to save money from couponing and using apps:

1. Cash-back apps really work
Cash-back apps worth checking out:
Ibotta App, Rebaid, Rakuten, Swagbucks, CouponSurfer, TopCashback, Mr. Rebates

2. Sign up for loyalty programs
Your retail and grocery store surely has some form of loyalty program that gives you instant savings on certain items throughout the store.
Likely this store has an app that links the loyalty number to both manufacturers’ coupons and promotions. Find the stores that you regularly visit and sign up. Most programs are free.

3. Learn how to stack deals
Websites like CashbackMonitor and AwardWallet make stacking deals easy. There are also sites like CashbackMonitor that tell you which shopping portal offers the highest “base percentage” back for purchases at your favorite stores.
And to make sure you don’t miss a deal that’s expiring, AwardWallet is another website that stores all your loyalty programs, including airline miles and hotel points, in one place. If your coupons or points are expiring, AwardWallet will alert you.

4. Sign Up for Promotional Emails
Signing up to a retail store’s email list can be a great way to receive exclusive deals. But subscribe to something called Unroll.me. This is a free tool that gathers all of your promotional emails into a single newsletter and delivers this to your inbox once a day. Save these newsletters in a special Unroll.me folder. Before you visit the store, check the retailer’s name to see if any coupons or specials show up.

Shopping through cash-back apps, signing up for loyalty programs and email lists, and learning how to stack deals are easy ways to save time and money on your next shopping trip.
