11 FREE Apps That Help You Save BIG
Did you know that you can earn cash by purchasing products that you are planning to buy anyways (products that you may also be able to score Free or cheap with coupons!) with various grocery apps or just for sharing your shopping insights and observations?! Below are my favorite Free apps that will help save you time and money…
Ibotta
One of my favorite apps! 🙂 With the FREE Ibotta App, you can unlock offers by completing various tasks, such as learning a fact or watching a short video. Then, search for offers in-store by scanning the barcode of items that are buying.
After making a purchase, you can submit a rebate by tapping on “redeem” for eligible items purchased. Then scan the product bar code and submit a picture of your receipt. Go here to watch my detailed video on how to use the Ibotta App.
Find & Save
Find&Save is a FREE app that lets you browse all the sales in your area, all in one place, from retailers such as Macy’s, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Home Depot, Staples and Best Buy, just to name a few (over 500 stores available). They’ll even tell you when you’re near a store where you can earn cash via their Cash Dash alerts. Then just snap and submit a picture of your receipt and you’ll get paid just for shopping! Browse the latest sales, deals and coupons, and make your cash go even further.
*NOTE – Be sure to use referral code WXH6 when signing up.
Shopkick
Shopkick is a FREE location-based shopping app for iTunes or Android devices that gives you rewards and offers simply for walking into stores, for scanning products, and for making purchases.
Once you are a Shopkick user, you can collect kickbucks and bonuses at millions of stores and restaurants in America including Macy’s, Target, Best Buy, JCPenney and more. You can then redeem your kickbucks for rewards for various gift cards, such as Target, Starbucks, Best Buy, and more!
Checkout 51
Browse through the different Checkout 51 offers available and buy participating items from the “Offer List.” Upload a photo of your entire receipt using the app or website (it is recommended that you upload your receipt immediately after purchase since there are only limited quantities of offers available).
When your account reaches $20, you can cash out and they’ll mail you a check. Note that offers go live on Thursdays at 12AM in each time zone and they expire the following Wednesday at 11:59PM in each time zone. You must submit the receipts while the offers are live.
Shrink
Get cash back with the FREE Shrink App whenever you purchase select items at the grocery store AND earn rewards for buying certain items as well. Shrink recommends items based on your preferences (and you earn cash for trying these products!); and if you buy these items multiple times, you can even unlock loyalty rewards!
Browse through Shrink’s offers and click the Reserve button to claim the offers you like before they’re gone. After you’ve purchased the item(s), just snap a picture of your receipt. Once you have reached a total of $20, you can redeem your cash back via Paypal.
Shopmium
Want to discover new products at your local store for FREE or at a reduced cost? 🙂 The FREE Shopmium App, available for both iPhones and Smartphones running Android 2.2 and up, allows you to do just that! Even sweeter, enter the referral code GHUEYUVP when signing up to snag a FREE Lindt Chocolate Bar!
Shopmium offers up exclusive offers available at your local neighborhood stores and allows you to try products for free or to receive a cash rebate for purchasing select products. Just buy the product at your local store, take a picture, submit your receipt and get your refund! Go here for more details.
SavingStar
View offers on your mobile app or online – there are often 100% cash back “surprise” freebies during the month. Then, use your registered card at checkout as you normally do. For receipt-scan stores, take a picture of your receipt and submit through the SavingStar app or website.
Note that discounts are not received at checkout but will be posted in your account within 2-22 days depending on the store. In addition to cashing out your earnings using your bank account or PayPal, you can use your earnings to score Starbucks eGift Cards, AMC Theatres eGift Cards and iTunes Gift Codes.
MobiSave
With the FREE MobiSave app, you can add offers to your account and redeem then at ANY store! You can submit your receipts and will get paid via PayPal within 24 hours. There are no inactivity fees, no minimum threshold for payouts, and you can browse offers with or without a phone signal. Go here for more details.
Target Cartwheel
If you shop at Target often, you’ll want to be sure and download the FREE Cartwheel Savings App! Just head over here, sign in/register for an account and then add the offers you want (the number of offers you can save to your account will vary by user). Then just print out or show your unique barcode on your mobile device at checkout and the applicable savings will be deducted.
You can manage your Cartwheel list from anywhere – Cartwheel.com on any web browser, from your desktop, or on your mobile device. The offers will be valid on specific items and each Cartwheel offer may be used for up to a maximum of 4 qualifying items per offer per transaction, unless otherwise noted. There is a limit of 1 Cartwheel barcode per transaction and 6 Cartwheel transactions per day.
Key Ring
Tired of carrying around tons of store loyalty cards? Download the FREE Key Ring App and you can eliminate the store loyalty cards you’ve got hanging off your keys – just scan them straight from your phone at the checkout counter. Once you add your supermarket loyalty card, you can browse coupons specific to your store. Just scan the bar code on your loyalty card to add to the app.
With Key Ring, you can even browse weekly ads from your area right within the app! Just “pin” items or promotions within the weekly ad and add them to your shopping list. You can even share the list with your husband, and have him do the shopping! 😉
Hip2Save
Another one of my favorite apps! 😉 The FREE Hip2Save App is available for iPhones/iPad/iPod Touch, Android and Kindle devices. In addition to bringing you all the latest deals, coupons and freebies, the Hip2Save app offers lots of extras like a budgeting tool, weekly contest, store coupon policies at your finger tips, restaurant deals tab, hot offers alert and more! Plus, each week, I will choose one Hip2Save App User to win a $50 Amazon eCard!

Yeah I would love to make a team with anyone else who is interested if we can figure out how lol

Think I have to add as a referral? I have no idea. I don’t have Facebook. I see that as only option?
I believe when you use a Referal code they become part of your team. If someone can use my Referal link below and test it out I can let you all know.
https://ibotta.com/r/tqlga
If anyone wanted to sign up for ibotta inder my link I’d appreciate it.
https://ibotta.com/r/uxkng
Add Favado & Flipp to the list.
Also fyi another sweet way to earn amazon gift cards or other freebies is bing rewards app. If you click them off once a day you can get about $5 gc every two weeks 😉
My referal link is https://www.bing.com/explore/rewards?PUBL=REFERAFRIEND&CREA=RAW&rrid=_f67bafac-4296-7f8a-f8cb-1b6bfa732710
If its not ok that I posted that here please let me know or delete it tho because I wasnt sure 😉
Ibotta team link code
ixljwod
I think if we make a team we all make money off each other right?
Do u have to have Facebook? Cause I dont. I see that you can’t add teammates without Facebook unless they signed up via your referral…
Your team, which can be found by selecting the menu icon and viewing Teamwork, consists of all of your Facebook friends that have an Ibotta account and have linked their Facebook with their account. To be on another Ibotta user’s team, you need to be friends on Facebook. It’s as simple as that! Once you are Facebook friends, you should see each other added to your respective teams within a 24 hour time frame.
The team is utilized to complete Teamwork bonuses, of which there is a new teamwork program each month. By working as a team, you can all earn even more cash back together!
***NOTE: Your team will also include any successful friend referrals as well as your referring invite to Ibotta if you used one. If you are seeing an individual on your team that you are not Facebook friends with, it is likely that they are one of your referrals or your referring invite.
Love the list, but one missing is Paribus, you literally don’t have to do anything once it’s setup. What it does is monitor your purchases at larger chains via email confirmations, then it watches for price drops. If one exists it will submit a request in your behalf. The credit goes back on the same form of payment and then Paribus bills you for their share. You can try it for free using my referral code: X1tBSK
I’ve been using it for a few months and just in the last few days got $25 back due to price drops, it works great for Amazon and Newegg in particular!
I have the Find & Save app but I can’t get the location to turn on on my iPhone. It says go to location services and set it to on, but the app doesn’t show up.
Has anyone else had that problem? And if so how do I fix it?
totally love h2s! also, I’ve been using ibotta a lot!! don’t have facebook but would really appreciate if someone used my code/ joined my team. pls use code trjaaxg👍
I use Find&Save to get cash back when I shop and you should too! Please use my code QJKS when you first open the app. https://fns.co/ZYcc/NdusHSCols
I used your code here is mine if someone would like to use mine. WX35. Thanks!
Check out Ibotta to get cash back! Use my referral code, h2ryq, and you can earn an extra $10. Sign up at https://ibotta.com/r/h2ryq
I love all of these! Thanks for the recommendations of Mobisave and receipt Pal. Excited to try some different ones. I’ve felt like some have lulled for me in offering things that I purchase. I also love mpoints and mplaces. You get points for checking into places which turns into gift cards! To check in you just have to be within 0.12mi from location and be in wifi. I can go sit in a parking lot and check into a bunch of places.
Also here is my shopkick link
https://get.shopkick.com/cone62273
And my Find and Save code KDCP
I also have a team with Ibotta if anyone wants to join.

Does some one have a link for Receipt Pal they want to share? Also, on Mobi if you say redeem an item one week will it ever reappear a few weeks later or is it a one time and that’s it forever for it, like bananas >
If anyone wants to sign up for ibotta under my link I’d appreciate it very much.
