Hello everyone!

This summer is flying by. It’s almost August! I’ve been on the road for personal and work travel, but I promise I’m going to have a plethora of exciting new posts soon. I’m working on a vegan round up for Prague, Salsburg, and Vienna. Plus, several new recipes!

2018 Annual Savings Round Up

* Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. That means I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. All opinions are my own.

Hello everyone,

Here we are. We’re facing the end of one year, and the start of the next. And admittedly, I have been MIA for quite some time. Two vacations, one promotion, a new kitten, and many other life obligations later, I’ve decided my hiatus was long enough. This year, I am setting out with my original goal for this blog—to have fun. I love sharing recipes and travel tips, but most of all, I really do love sharing my ways to save. And boy was 2018, a good year for savings! Check out my savings breakdown below!

Rebate Apps: (Check out my Top Ways to Save)

  • Ibotta – $248.25
    • I’ve earned nearly $450 since downloading this app!
      • This is one of my favorite apps because it is SO easy to use. In fact, I use it almost every time I shop because there is consistently a $0.25 rebate on any one item of your choice! Plus, there are great savings at places like Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more!
    • *If you sign up with my referral code, dlgmcji you can get a $10.00 welcome bonus.
  • Checkout 51 – $56.90
    • I’ve earned $121.00 since downloading the app!

  • Savingstar – $1.75 
  • Coinout – $8.19
    • This one is simple. Just snap your receipt and get a random amount of pennies.
  • ReceiptPal – $23.00
    • This is similar to Coinout, but instead of cash you can get giftcards for Amazon and a few other retailers. Additionally, it does have some restrictions.
  • Drop – $70.00
    • I LOVE DROP. Let me say it again. I LOVE DROP. You simply link your credit cards and pick five places where you frequently shop and earn points that build up to gift cards. My stores are Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, Target, Whole Foods, and Sephora.
    • Get a $5 welcome bonus when you use my referral code – g0wex
  • Dosh – $53.90
    • Save on hotels, restaurants, online and in person retailers, and more!
    • Limited time only – $15 referral bonus! Use my code JOCELYR68
  • *Cartwheel by Target – $834.74 in total savings since June 2013!
I saved $517.29 using the above listed rebate apps on my iPhone!

Online Savings Tools/ Browser Extensions:Swagbucks

  • Swagbucks – I’ve earned $50.00 in $25 Amazon.com gift cards this year ($250 in two years)!
    • Click the above graphic for $3.00 referral bonus when you earn 300SB! 
  • Coupon Cabin – $141.81 cash back in under one year!
    • This extension is similar to Ebates, but it seems to have a few extra perks. The more you use this extension, the more ‘bonus cash’ you receive. For example, I now get a certain percentage cash back, plus a 10% bonus on the cash back amount.  
  • Ebates – I received $124.52 cash back on purchases I’m already making.  Ebates Coupons and Cash Back
    • You’ve seen the commercials. Now, why not give it a try, too? Get $10 when you join with my link! It’s easy, just set it and forget it.

Other Ways to Save:

  • Chase Sapphire Preferredin my opinion, is the best travel credit card out there. In one year I racked up 136,900 Chase points which is $1,711.25 in travel or $1,369.00 in cash. Here are the card’s basics:
    • It is a heavy, shiny, metal card.
    • Annual fee is $95, but it is waived the first year.
    • Earn 2x points on travel and dining, and travel is pretty broad – Uber, parking meters, and subway tickets count!
    • No foreign transaction fees.
    • Points are worth 25% more (1.25 cents) when redeemed for travel through the Chase portal.
      • Sign up with my referral and earn 50,000 bonus points after spending $4,00 0 in the first three months your account is open. (That’s about a $1,000 value).
  • Robinhood AppRobinhood let’s you join for as little as a $5.00 trade deposit. Plus, traders can buy and sell individual stocks for $0 a trade. On top of that, you and your referral each get a free share of a random stock when a referral link is used!

So all in all, I’m feeling pretty good about my savings this year. Over $800 in cash back/ Amazon gift cards, and I’m going to put my Chase points to use on my next vacation! 

What are you saving for this year?

Cheers!

August Savings Round Up

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. That means I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. All opinions are my own.

Hello everyone,

How is August treating you? It’s the dog days of summer here, and I’m loving my air conditioning and cool evening walks. A few leaves have been falling, and I can’t help but feel giddy for the fall. And while most folks are preparing for “back to school,” I’m planning my next trip to Mexico City! In order to splurge while I’m away, I’m taking advantage of all the savings I found in my August Savings Round Up. Check out the full list of internet printable coupons, as well as, rebate apple savings below.

One of my most exciting finds was a rare Amy’s coupon for Buy 1, Get 1 on swirls, snacks or handheld items (like burritos) through 9/15/2018.

There is also a $1.00 coupon for Fieldroast products. I absolutely love their Apple Maple Breakfast “Sausage.” It tastes great chopped up in a tofu scramble for a spectacular weekend brunch.

Cheers and happy shopping!

Jocelyn

Anyway, I’m currently getting ready to jet set to Europe for a week and a half, and I am equal parts excited and woefully behind on chores.

I also wanted to let everyone know that my favorite rebate app – Ibotta – is providing incredible May bonuses. I’ve already received over $20 in cash back this month, with many items ending up free or as a money maker! If you aren’t already using this app, give it a try. You’re missing out on some seriously good rebates this Spring! If you’re unfamiliar with Ibotta it’s so easy to use! You simply review the current deals available at various stores and select those you wish to use.

April Savings Round Up

Hello everyone,

It’s been so nice in Cleveland lately! 70, sunny, a little breezy. It’s the perfect weather to do a little yard work and run errands. Too bad the forecast for Monday says snow. No, I’m not joking. In preparation for the late winter weather, I proactively did my grocery shopping for next week. Check out the latest deals in my April Savings Round Up!

Note, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to get the coupons on my site. Simply click the brand name, not the bullet point text.

I also wanted to highlight Drop again – Drop is a free mobile rewards app that allows you to collect points on top of existing rewards programs.

That’s essentially $1.00 in rewards just for joining!

    • Download the app: www.earnwithdrop.com
    • Link any Debit and/or Credit cards.
