How to Coupon in the DIGITAL Age on your Phone {Tiff's Tips}

So if you follow my page, you know that I STOPPED cutting Coupons and threw away my Coupon Binder! WHY? Because coupons have gone DIGITAL and it has simplified my life, and yet I still SAVE MONEY!

(STOP HERE, Get to know me and Follow my Facebook page HERE if you don't already!)

So let's talk COUPONS in the DIGITAL age...

*****************************************

Checkout 51

• How it works: Take pic of your receipt and get CASHBACK (ANY STORE included)

• My favorite feature: Healthy "coupons" are always available for fruits and vegetable purchases. 

         Sometimes you can get them totally FREE (like buy 1-2
         bananas for 25 cents and get 25 cents back = FREE!)

• My least favorite feature: Other grocery/household product offers can sometimes be limited, but if it is items that you purchase, then get the savings while you can!

BONUS: Upload your first receipt by June 15, 2016 - and get a BONUS FREE $5.00! To redeem this, you must Download the app with this LINK HERE!

IBOTTA

• How it works: Purchase a product on the list - scan barcode and take a pic of your receipt (At SELECT STORES)

• My favorite feature: Cashback is not only for grocery items, but also includes Movie Theatres, Electronics at Best Buy, Gamestop, Payless and other Store rebates like $5 cashback on a $50 purchase, etc.

          I also love that Ibotta offers ANY BRAND options fairly often (any brand milk, eggs, orange 

          juice, etc) The items are usually on everyone's grocery list - the cashback is usually a small 

          amount, but it adds up quick! And Every penny counts!

• My least favorite feature: Select stores only, which means no local stores (Winn Dixie, Target, Walmart, etc are included)

Bonus: First time users, also get a $10 CASH BONUS with your first rebate redeemed!

SAVINGS STAR

• How it works: Get CASHBACK for grocery store items (AT SELECT STORES)

• My favorite feature: TOTALLY FREE 100% CASHBACK offers! About once a month they offer a product with a instant rebate for the full amount paid = FREE

          I also like that this app works in the background at many stores - meaning once your store 

          rewards card is input (and you use it at checkout register) it will automatically track your      

          purchase! If you purchase at a store that does not have a reward card, you simply take a pic of 

          your receipt so it's still pretty easy!

• My least favorite feature: You must "Activate" coupons in order to use them.  So I try to remember at the beginning of the month to check the app for new ones (or at the very least before grocery shopping) - If the coupon is not activated, you don't get the cashback amount listed:(

SHOPMIUM

• How it works: Purchase an item on the list - scan barcode and take a pic of receipt (ANY STORE)

• My favorite feature: THE FREE LINDT Chocolate! When you download the app, you get an offer for 100% cashback on a Lindt Chocolate Bar

• My least favorite feature: There are not a lot of options available, but if it is a grocery item that you buy, then scoop it up while you can!

GROCERY STORE APPS

• Winn Dixie has a FREE phone app that allows you to "clip coupons" on your phone that automatically DEDUCT that amount off your bill when you scan you reward card at checkout!

Tip: You can use these coupons PLUS any of the ones listed above when they both have the same offer! Note: You must select offers in advance to redeem them.

• Target has Target Cartwheel that allows you to "clip coupons" on your phone - scan the code at checkout and you get automatic discounts at the register!

Tip: You can double dip these coupons too when one of the other apps has the same offer!  Note: You MUST select offers in advance to redeem them.
