Grocery Shopping and apps

So, I do spend about a good half an hour every Sunday poring over ads and clipping coupons but I forgot to mention that I use my iPhone quite a bit, too. Here in Evanston, the stores that I use frequently for couponing and apps are Jewel/Osco, CVS, and Target. The two apps that I use are Ibotta and Endorse. What's so great about these two apps is that it's cashback. Have you ever forgotten a coupon at home or in the wrong purse so you didn't purchase something? I'm constantly forgetting which purse I put my coupon book in whether it's the diaper bag, my work purse or my usual purse. Well, with these apps, you take a picture of your receipt and you upload it to these apps and then, you get cash back.

Endorse is a great way to get cash back on your purchases and best of all, I use both apps and use coupons so if I can get something on sale, use a coupon, Ibotta and endorse, sometimes, I'm even making money!

For Endorse, I currently have these offers on my phone, but they may vary by account:

  • $3 Back on any Brand of Coffee
  • $2 Back on Planters Nut-Rition Peanut Butter
  • 20% Back on Mighty Leaf Tea
  • 20% Back on Quaker Chewy Granola Bars
  • 10% Back on Yoplait Original Yogurt
  • 30% Back on Any Paper Towels
  • 10% Back on any Dishwashing Detergent

Ibotta is another great way to get more coupons for products. Here are two really great examples with Ibotta:
At CVS:
Buy 3 Tressemme for $10 (make sure that you buy one for split end remedy)
Use B1G1 Tresemme from 1/27 RP (exp 2/10)
Pay $6.67, Get $1.50 from Ibotta for Split End Remedy
Final Price: 3/$5.17 ($1.72 each!)

Or CVS:
Buy 4 Colgate Optic White Rinse 8 oz $3 each ($12)
Use 4 $1 Colgate Optic coupons from 1/6 SS
Pay $8, Get $6 ECB AND $1 Colgate Optic White Mouthwash from Ibotta
Final Price: 4/$1 ($.25 each!)

And just a disclaimer: I did link both Ibotta & Endorse to my referral accounts because if you sign up there, I get $1.
