Smart Ways to Save Money!

We are in a constant battle of where our money is going and how to stop spending. My famous words are that its not about how much we make its about how we spend it. People can make millions and still not know how to manage their money and just in a financial burden; it doesnt matter.

I have to take a step back and re-evulate spending and budgets. We can be frugal and still have a good time. Often times people don’t want to go out because they don’t have the money, its all about how you budget it.

  • Let’s tackle this first topic.. you don’t need groceries. Now before you say uh we need to survive I am talking about about the excessive groceries. You know those that you buy on impulse or think you need. I constantly stock up on meat and there is no way we will ever eat it all. Plus sometimes there’s a good storm that comes by and causes us to lose power…. thus means losing money and food! Instead of purchasing all this processed food, why don’t you try making items? I know what you are thinking, uh I don’t have time. We are joining this journey of eating healthier food and eliminating processed food. Take off your list ice cream and make a smoothie instead with FRESH fruit. Take off that expensive cheese and get the cheaper cheese. Take off soda and try fruit drinks instead (add in lemon or limes, etc). Just because you eliminate these items doesnt mean you are going to starve. Trust me when I eliminate these items from grocery shopping I come home and think I hardly got anything.. Well.. the truth is that I didnt! I just eliminated processed food!
  • Set a budget for your groceries and stick to it! You have to! Otherwise it is pointless.. Shop around and find the better deals on certain items so that this way you can be sure that you have stuck to your budget. We like to have snacks, we do, but cut out the bad snacks like chips, cookies, etc. add in peanut butter and apples or rice cakes simple small things. If you like to bake you can always make cupcakes or bread! We like to make banana bread and freeze it!! We make about 4 loafs at a time so we take them out as needed.
  • Make a meal plan and pantry list. Always cook items at home. Use what you have!!! Do t buy things you won’t use simple as that! I tend to buy canned goods because it’s nice to have in stock but don’t over stock. Make a meal plan and prep for the week I promise you that your money will go to the right spot!!! Do it!!
  • Don’t go shopping every week.. you don’t need to! Go every two weeks. And go as needed for eggs, milk, bread, fresh veggies and fruits!! Why? Because if you have to think further ahead than two weeks you will be excessive and have wasted food.
  • Freeze left overs.. um thats your lunch in a few weeks or tomorrow.  Use left overs for meal prep! Eat the left overs!! You need to. You can even re create meals from your left overs… if you have chicken make a chicken ceasar from it!

4 ways to make money off your receipts.

Did you know that you can make money off your receipts, yes it is 100% true. I promise! There are so many ways for you to make money and my goal is to share them with you. It takes two seconds and you can actually make extra cash money!!

  1. Ibotta App – First make sure to find any products that you are buying in the app and you will be able to get money back from it. You can collect as many items as you want!! (from several stores!) You can shop at any store that is on their list: Target, Kroger, etc. It’s super user friendly and easy to use.  Once you purchased the items you scan the receipt and it puts money into the account! Use my code (ocwrist)  to sign up today and we will BOTH get some money added into our account!
    make-money_shopping
  2. Savings Catcher App (walmart) – Whenever you go shopping at Walmart they have an app where you can scan the receipt and they will find items if they were cheaper at other stores and you will get money back for it. Walmart is a huge corporation and a lot of people use them!! So why not make money back using them? I mean it would be foolish for you to not take advantage of this!! They do all the work for you and you can make back a few bucks per each visit! Jump on it.Unknown-2
  3. Yaarlo I love this app!!! It allows you to earn cash back whenever you shop and you can redeem your cash back via gift cards or cash. Literally all you do is scan your receipt and it takes care of the rest. Sign up using my referral code: SUSIELIB274
  4. Coupon or Survey – My biggest and newest way is by taking a survey!! Lots of times there are surveys at the bottom of receipts that allow you to get a coupon or enter into sweepstakes!! This is huge and great!! I have won a FREE tank of gas from taking a survey on a receipt! PLUS lots of times it helps add up points if I have a rewards card or something. Many large corporations do this: Giant Eagle, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

You aren’t going to get rich by doing any of these, but it is nice to have some extra money for birthdays, events, etc. Get started with just one today and add in the rest later if you want!

Ibotta, making money off groceries & more!!

Written by Melissa Langston.  I keep hearing about Ibotta but have no idea what it is! So I decided to check it out for myself.

In case you aren’t familiar with Ibotta and/or have never heard of it, Ibotta is a free app that can help you save you cash on things you buy every day.

The first thing to do is to download the app. It is available for both iPhone and Android users. Once the app is downloaded, you can check out all of the nearby retailers to see which one is offering the most rebates. Or, you can search for your favorite (or the one you know you will go to) and see what types of rebates they may be offering.   Once you unlock your rebates, they will be added to your Shopping List.

Next, go shopping! Be sure to go to one of the Ibotta retailers-there over 80!

Now, you are ready to verify your purchases. I clicked on the green “Verify Purchases” button at the bottom of my screen and scanned the barcodes of the items I had purchased and wished to verify. The app scanned with no problem and the amount of the rebate appeared in my account!

The first week I joined, I earned a $10 welcome bonus. That was really helpful! On a pretty regular basis, I receive notifications for different rebates I can unlock. The only down side to this app that I have found is that you must have $20 in your account to withdraw cash. To get your cash, you can link your Ibotta account with either PayPal or Venmo, or you can create a new PayPal or Venmo account within the App.
Another neat thing you can do in lieu of withdrawing cash is to choose to receive gift cards from iTunes, Walmart, and Amazon-just to name a few. An additional feature is that you can invite friends and receive a $5 referral bonus each you’re your friend redeems their first rebate!

What is my opinion of Ibotta? I didn’t sign up for it to get rich, I just wanted to have a little fun and try it out. I think it’s a really neat app! I figure if I’m going to be out grocery shopping, I may as well get paid for it!

Download the app with referral code: ocwrist (there’s something for both of us!)
