Top 10 Money Saving Apps





Do you like to save money, I know I do! I have most of these apps on my phone and I love them all! Especially Shopkick and Retail Me Not! I use them all the time! So if you have a smart phone or a tablet make sure you are downloading these apps!

GoodRx:
You can compare prices of prescription drugs at pharmacies near you and online to find the best deals!

Ibotta:
Use this app to score rebates when you shop. Complete a short task, purchase your product, scan your receipt and you can redeem rebates. Once you have earned $5 you can transfer your earnings to Paypal or Venmo!

Kayak:
Do you fly? Rent cars? Sleep at a hotel? Then Kayak is for you! You will find the best prices at all three listed!

Mint Personal Finance:
Keep track of your spending and stick to a budget with Mint Personal Finance! You can link your financial accounts to the app and it will automatically track and categorize your transactions. Receive alerts to notify you of fees, remind you of bills to pay and even warn you if you are over budget!

RedLaser:
Use this app when you are shopping to scan the barcode of items to find out if they are selling for less at another retailer or even online. If the store offers a price match policy you can use this app as evidence that another retailer has the item for a lower price.

RetailMeNot:
One of my favorite! This app has thousands of coupons from a very long list of retailers, all you have to do is show the coupon to your cashier for savings! Or you can apply the code it gives you if you are shopping on line!

Shopkick:
Earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards just by walking into a store and scanning barcodes. You can even earn points for shopping! You can turn your points into real giftcards once you have reached a certain amount!

Waze:
Save money with this app if your on the road a lot. It provides real time traffic information that has been contributed by users. This way you can find the best route and avoid backups! You can also use the app to find the cheapest gas on your route.

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots.
