Money Making Apps

They say, “the best things in life are free,” and  I agree.

I love free. I also love cheap.

I’m the girl that brags about how cheap an item was.

With a small budget like mine, a girl has had to get creative to maintain sanity and fulfill a love for shopping.

First, let’s take a look at some free apps that can save or make you money. Yup. Make you money.

Shopkick: My favorite money making app. This app just needs to be open when you are out and about. The phone picks up that you are at stores, and gives you points just for walking in. You can gain more points by scanning select products. (Sometimes I look like a weirdo when I do this, so maybe do it when a store is not busy). You can redeem your points for gift cards to various places. I have earned over $40 in Target gift cards to date. Use my code to sign up http://get.shopkick.com/sphere15024

Ibotta: This app is a grocery store rebate app. You can upload receipts from shopping at various stores. The app highlights various groceries to return cash on if you have those items on your receipt you start banking money. You can cash out and use your money towards whatever your heart desires.

SwagBucks:

An app and website that pays you to complete tasks and take surveys. You can even earn points for watching commercials and short videos. I have set my phone to the side in the past and let them play, and just let the points roll in. You get Swag Bucks or points and then you can redeem them for gift cards. It is free to sign up and there are no strings attached. I have personally received multiple Amazon.com and Starbucks gift cards from using this site.

Givling:

An app that can eventually pay your student loans. A long shot, likely. But, why not download it just in case if there is nothing to lose. You sign up for free, and every day you get one free play. You answer trivia questions until you get 3 wrong, and then you interact with ads. Easy enough. You can use my code to sign up CK895855

EliteDailyDeals.com
On this site you can sign up to review items on Amazon. Shipped to you for a steep discount, and sometimes even for free. I have received countless supplements, beauty products, and odds and ends for nothing, or for under a dollar. Use my link below to sign up:

There are a few apps where you can make side cash when you sell your items. We have all have items in the closet that we no longer want or use. Turn these unused items into cash to put towards your loans or use it for new items

 Now, these apps and sites are not "get rich quick" schemes. Rather, they are ways to make small amounts of side cash. I like to use this money towards grocery purchases, coffee, and in conjunction with couponing for free items. (More to follow) 

I will check back and add to this often!
