In order to use these apps you need a smart phone or iDevice and you’ll be on your way to saving both time and money. Let the savings begin!

5 Must Have Money Saving Apps

1. Favado is my husband and my go-to app when we plan our grocery shopping each week. It gives you the sale prices, including secret sales, coupons, including links to printable coupons as well! It is EVERYTHING you need to plan a successful – on budget – grocery shopping trip!

4. Substitutions is a great app for you iPhone or iPad. This app can save you money by giving you substitutions for products that you may only use for one recipe, or if you happen to leave something off of your grocery shopping list. This app is very easy to use and has saved our behinds in the kitchen many-a-times!

  1. Hi there! I downloaded the Ibotta app but now I see that you have to scan each product individually AND submit a pic of the receipt. The scanning part seems pretty cumbersome and honestly I’m not sure I’ll fool with it. Any tips for doing that? Thanks for your help!

    1. Hi there :)
      There really isn’t any way around their set up. At first it seemed like a pain to me as well — but after a bit of usage it has just become second nature to me. I’d encourage you to give it a try and decide whether or not you can add it into your routine. It really can be a blessing to earn money on things that usually do not have coupons (ie: fresh produce, milk, etc). Hope it works out! xoxo, Carlie K.

  2. I recently discovered the MobiSave app, which is similar to Ibotta/Checkout 51. Lots of products to choose from and easy to use. (You do have to be invited, but it only took one day after I signed up to get started).
