data-id=\"https:\/\/computertimes.com\">https:\/\/computertimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By Angie Kibiloski<\/p>\n<p>It seems like the price of everything, from groceries, to household items, to clothing, increases every time we go to the stores.\u00a0 With everything we buy on a regular basis being so expensive, why not save money, and even earn money, any way you can?\u00a0 I have a handful of mobile apps that I use almost every time I go shopping, which not only save me money at the register, but also give me money back later on, for doing just a few simple tasks.\u00a0 Everybody loves saving a buck, so I\u2019d like to share these apps with you, and get you in on the savings.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t new apps, but I\u2019ve discovered a surprising number of people who\u2019ve either never heard of them, or just never bother to use them, so I felt the need to highlight them all, despite them having been available for some time.\u00a0 All of these apps are FREE to sign up, and always FREE to use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/computertimes.com\/2019\/08\/09\/must-have-shopping-apps\/ibotta-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4105\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4105 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/computertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ibotta-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Ibotta App Logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a>The app I want to start you out with, and the one I\u2019ve made the most money with, is\u00a0<strong>Ibotta<\/strong>.\u00a0 Basically, this app gives you a monetary rebate for items you purchase, by scanning in your receipts.\u00a0 They have a huge collection of stores they partner with, like\u00a0<strong>Ralph\u2019s<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Walgreen\u2019s<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Target<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Whole Foods<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Lowes<\/strong>, and many, many more.\u00a0 Under each store, there\u2019s a long list of products, conveniently categorized, and a rebate offer for each.\u00a0 Add them to your Offers list for that store, go buy those items, then take a photo of your receipt to upload it to the app.\u00a0 You\u2019ll earn whatever the offer amount was, once you have a receipt that matches.\u00a0 For instance, you may want to add a $1 rebate offer for buying a pack of\u00a0<strong>Keebler<\/strong>\u00a0cookies, a $0.50 offer for buying a bottle of\u00a0<strong>Vita Coco<\/strong>\u00a0coconut water, and a $0.25 offer for buying Any Brand of milk.\u00a0 Whether you purchase these items in one transaction, or 3 different transactions, as long as you upload your receipts before the offer expires, you\u2019ll get that rebate credit.\u00a0 They have so many products to choose from, with new ones being added all the time, that even if it\u2019s only the Any Item, or Any Brand of Milk\/Bread\/Soda\/etc., it\u2019s rare that I go shopping and don\u2019t have something to earn money back for buying.\u00a0 Some of the offers are worth several dollars too, and will even allow you to essentially get an item for free after the rebate.\u00a0 For added convenience, you\u2019ll be able to add your favorite stores to your account, so they\u2019ll be easy to find when you want to browse offers, and they\u2019ll recommend offers to you based on what you\u2019ve earned before.\u00a0 You can also earn Bonuses every month, both by satisfying purchase requirements, or referring friends to join your Team.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have personal goals and team goals, and earn extra money if you reach them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/computertimes.com\/2019\/08\/09\/must-have-shopping-apps\/ibotta-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4098\"><img

alt=\"Ibotta App Scanning Receipt\" width=\"150\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Save up your rebates and get your money back in the form of gift cards to the partner store of your choice.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be cashing out for a $100\u00a0<strong>Ralph\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0gift card very soon.\u00a0 It has taken me about 9 months to get that much saved up, but I\u2019m only shopping for one person, and I typically only add offers for items I know I intend to buy anyway.\u00a0 My friend, who introduced me to\u00a0<strong>Ibotta<\/strong>, made that much in 3 months, because she has a family to shop for, and she uses this as a way to try new products at a discount.\u00a0 However long it takes for you to rack up the savings, it\u2019s FREE money, so why not do it?\u00a0 You can even connect your shopper\u2019s cards from stores like\u00a0<strong>Ralph\u2019s<\/strong>, or\u00a0<strong>Albertson\u2019s<\/strong>, but you can\u2019t upload receipts if you do this.\u00a0 I don\u2019t always remember to add offers before I go shopping, and if you connect a card, this is the only way to earn, because the app gets your purchase history directly from your shopper\u2019s card.\u00a0 I prefer to have the ability to add offers after I know what I bought, and just scan the receipt.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy enough, and it gives me flexibility, and maximizes my earnings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I really LOVE this app, and it\u2019s so satisfying to see the rebate saving accumulate in my account.\u00a0 I highly recommend checking this out, by downloading the app via these links for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ibotta.android\">Android<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/ibotta-cash-back-rewards-app\/id559887125\">iOS<\/a>.\u00a0 You\u2019ll get a Welcome Bonus of $10 when you scan your 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0receipt, as a gift from\u00a0<strong>Ibotta<\/strong>\u00a0to get you started.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">IMPORTANT NOTICE: This file is protected by copyright laws.
