Thrifty Thursday

Sometimes being "thrifty" is not just about saving money at the grocery store or when making purchases.  As technology has increased it is amazing to see all the new apps that are created to help save and earn money... 

I have listed a few of my favorites.   I know that many people have found great ways to make and save money.  If you have found one that I did not list, that you have tried, let us know so we can give it a shot too!  Sorry they aren't fancy... with time, maybe I will figure out how to be a better blogger, but for now, here is my attempt.

Everyone grocery shops, and this app allows you to get paid for items you have purchased.  They pay through check or PayPal.  All you have to do is buy items that they have on their offers, and then take a picture of the reciept!

Another app that has over 37 retailers.  You just take a picture of your receipt and get cash via PayPal!  It doesn't take very long and the items are things I use all the time.

Ever wondered how people get gift cards for free?  This is one great way, and it works!  If you use Swagbucks, they will reward you with what they call Swagbucks and you can redeem them for gift cards.  I usually use mine to get Amazon gift cards, but there are several other places as well.  I will do the daily poll and the NOSO each day.  They take just a few minutes and the points add up. If you use it as your search engine, you can get more points too!

This is where I print all my coupons and get paid $0.10 per coupon I use!  I also "read" all the emails and get $0.02 each one I open!  Some people do surveys as well and that helps accrue money a lot quicker.  I occasionally do them, but if you don't have much time reading the emails and using the coupons is a quick way to get a little extra money. 

Those are just a few things that I do each day or time I go shopping.  Sometimes it may not be much I am earning, but every penny adds up.  If you have others, post below!
