Ways to Save, Earn Points or Cash Back While You Shop

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you my favorite ways to save.  

Anyone who follows me on Social Media or here even or just knows me I love to save,  in fact, I used to be one of those people who could go grocery shopping, end up with free items that I usually donate, and would end up paying $20.00 -$30.00 on a $300-$400 bill! But with the last two relocations, it became a bit of a challenge to keep it up so I've kind of gotten away from couponing, but plan to get back into it for the new year!

Just because I no longer coupon, doesn't mean I don't save though, I save, I earn points, and even get cash back from my purchases, just in a different way.  

Today, I am going to share with you those ways as well as the sites and apps I use to do so.  

The links I'm sharing are referral links and not affiliate links and I've used these sites as well as these apps for years now and so far I've never been spammed, so I don't think they spam and I've found out of all the sites and apps I've tried these are the real deal, meaning I've always earned my points, savings or cash back no hassle and the rare time something was missed they took care of it right away!


My Favorite Websites and Apps that help me save Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Year-Round:

Rakuten formally Ebates Gives a bonus when you sign up, sometimes it's a Cashback bonus or a Gift Card Bonus and this is honestly my overall favorite, I'm always earning Cashback either online or with their App.

Ibotta Is my favorite Grocery one, though they offer a bunch of other categories, I mostly use this app for Grocery shopping as they even have Cashback for places like the Military Commissary, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, a lot of the Wharehouse stores such as Costco, Sams Club, BJ's and they offer Cashback for other stores as well, whether your shopping in-store or online, plus items can be on sale or clearance or if you've used a coupon for them!  So it's great, and earns something every shopping trip!

Fetch Rewards 

Allows you to earn points for gift cards, giveaways, and more, plus, there are often bonus points for certain items (brands and items change) Plus, they seem to accept all sorts of receipts, even things like fast food, gas stations, and more (at least it always has for me)

Swagbucks Is a great way to earn points to use towards Giftcards, Giveaways, and more, plus there are other ways to earn points and the points add up quickly!

Other ways to save are your Credit Cards or ATM Cards:

Check with your bank or even your Credit Card company, because this time of year many cards offer Cashback savings or points that can be redeemed for Gift Cards when you shop specific types of retailers or restaurants, even grocery stores or use certain services.  My bank as well as Discover Card

Other Places to save money is through sites such as Groupon

Tips On Finding Pantry Supplies, Groceries, Ways To Save and More!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for stopping by today, gosh honestly I never thought I would be doing a post like this, but hopefully, it will be helpful to at least some of you.  Most importantly, be smart, be safe and please be kind, remember we are all going through this, some more than others.

As I am sure everyone knows there is a pandemic going one,  and some states are on lockdown, a lot of schools are closed for several months, until fall and possibly longer.

Now, even if you're amazing at making sure your pantry is stocked, many haven't, so that can mean trying to search stores as well as online sites for goods.  Some online retailer, have sellers are really price gouging goods, and some are just simply out of stock.

I am a long time shopper of an online retailer that sellers have been doing this sadly and I've seen a ton of gouging on there, even for items I tried to get.

As I was about to give up on some much-needed items, I got to thinking and well researching, and I was able to find several of those items I was looking for and thankfully no price gouging, plus I can have it delivered, and often free with a small minimum order.

If your local store is out of an item, consider places like Target who does have delivery on a lot of their items, but many stores offer pickup, just check online for your local store.  Target, for me at least has been awesome!  I was able to buy a multi-pack of toilet paper, an 6 pack of kleenex, find hand sanitizer, cruelty-free toilet bowl cleaner, bathroom disinfectant cleaner, a box of crackers, get coffee and locate a skillet sauce I was looking for, all for normal if not on sale prices!  So be sure to check places like Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Costco,  Sams Club, plus places like Safeway, Fred Meyer,  Whole Foods,  Pea Pod  also offer delivery to some areas or at least pickup. Be sure to also check your local store as different retailers are in different areas.  Plus, if you are pregnant, a senior or someone with a compromised immune system, many retailers are offering set instore shopping hours, again check with the retailer for hours.     

For fresh produce (if avail in your area) Full Circle, they are offering my readers $15 off their first box with code: ERIK9291 *this is a referral code only, not an affiliate link

If you are a family in need, (please know there is no shame in that, bottom line we are all human!), as many families sadly are, check with your school districts to see if there is a meal plan in place, many are still providing breakfasts and lunches via a pickup location.  Also, check with local food banks, as well as local churches as many have a pantry or can at least offer advice.

You might check Instacart for grocery delivery



Ibotta Is my favorite Grocery one, though they offer a bunch of other categories, I mostly use this app for Grocery shopping as they even have Cashback for a place like the Military Commissary, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, a lot of the Wharehouse stores such as Costco, Sams Club, BJ's, and they offer Cashback for other stores as well, whether your shopping in-store or online, plus items can be on sale or clearance or if you've used a coupon for them!  So it's great, and earn something every shopping trip!  *This is a referral link, not an affiliate link

Ways To Save This Cyber Monday and Year-Round on Groceries, Gifts and More!

With all the chaos of Black Friday, it’s tough to remember to shop around for the best prices on everything, however, there are some great Apps that allow you to save after you’ve shopped and a great site I've been using since 2008 that helps you save when you shop online.

Even when I shop around, I always check these Apps before I head out to the stores or this site if I’m shopping online to save even more!

Some of my favorite Apps which I have been using for some time now are;



Ibotta: Ibotta offers savings from a wide range of stores, sometimes, restaurants as well as movies, plus it doesn’t matter if you used a coupon for an item, you can still save with Ibotta. I always use Ibotta after a grocery shopping trip, but I’ve also used it online, for some of the restaurants and movie theater offered at the time. With Ibotta, you just search the offers for the store, purchase the item that the offer is for, scan the item once your home and snap a pic of your receipt for them through their App and once you reach $20 in savings you can have it sent via PayPal! Check it out for yourself: https://ibotta.com/r/ljtl8w




Another App I like to use is for Target, it’s called Cartwheel







Now if your shopping online only this Cyber Monday or Anytime you shop online you'll want to check out Ebates! Ebates is awesome, not only do they offer Cashback Offers, they often have Offer Codes, Coupon Codes, Shipping Codes, Gift with purchase codes and more for many of your favorite retailers. I've been an Ebates member since 2008 and it's saved me $$$, plus I've been able to take advantage of some great offer, gift and shipping codes as well! If you're not already a member, check it out here Ebates



I'll be shopping Cyber Monday this Year so I'll definitely be using Ebates like I always do when I shop online, plus again they often have great coupon codes


Another way to shop and save is Swagbucks With Swagbucks you can earn points towards gift cards, contest entries and more, plus you can earn points by doing things other than shopping, like surveys, polls, watch quick video, enter a Swag Codes, playing games and more!


You Can Get Free Gift Cards For Shopping, Searching and Discovering What's Online at Swagbucks.com


Whatever shopping you do, be safe out there and be kind.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Missy :)
