As a single mother of two, budgeting and saving money is a must! The girls are constantly needing things, so I’m always looking for deals and coupons to help with the costs. I have been lucky to find a few apps to help me along the way.

Ibotta
Ibotta is a rewards app offering cash back for over 500,000 stores. How it works is, you unlock rebates for items you’ve purchased or plan to purchase. You scan your receipt and Ibotta pays you for your purchase. For more information on Ibotta, you can download the app for Ios and Andriod. Use my code xukanfj to receive $10 for signing up today!
Walmart Savings Catcher
This is one of my favorite apps because I shop at Walmart at least twice a week. All you have to do is scan your Walmart receipt in the app. The app then searches for competing prices on the items you’ve purchased. If a lower price is found, Walmart pays you the difference in the form of a gift card.
Ebates
If you do a lot of online shopping, Ebates is definitely the app for you. Ebates offers cash back and coupons for almost every big name store you can think of. Just open the ebates app, select the store, and activate your savings. There is even an add on feature for your internet browser, so that you can still save from your desktop.
ShopKick
Shopkick is another one of my favorites. You chose your reward after signing up and the app lets you know how many kicks you have to earn to redeem it. All you have to do is open the app while you’re out shopping to get kicks (reward points). You can even get kicks occasionally by scanning certain items in the store. If you’re interested in downloading ShopKick, you can use my invite code Joy229184 to receive 250 kicks after your first walk in.
Checkout51
Checkout51 is another app where you choose an offer, make a purchase, and scan your receipt for cash back. Once your account reaches $20, you can request payment in the form of a check.
When you shop as much as I do, these apps really come in handy. The best thing is, most of the time you can scan the same receipt for multiple apps. Leave a comment down below with your favorite cash back apps to use for shopping!
