Winter 2019 Coupons Round Up

Hello everyone,

What better way to settle into the final long stretch of winter than with a Winter Vegan Coupons Round Up? While I found several high value or stackable coupons for vegan brand favorites like Daiya, Beyond Meat, Follow Your Heart, Go Veggie, Kikkoman and others, I do have some unfortunate news to share.

MamboSprouts went out of business near the end of 2018. MamboSprouts used to be my go to for organic, vegan coupons, and they never disappointed. From Kitehill to Fieldroast, their website contributed to a large portion of the ultra rare coupons I used to find. I’m hopeful that those companies will continue to provide coupons through their own websites or other third party vendors.

I also noticed that Hopster didn’t have any coupons available this week. It’s odd to me that vegan coupons are drying up, while we know the vegan population keeps getting bigger and bigger. Thankfully, rebate apps like Ibotta are always full of veg-friendly savings.

Cheers and happy savings –

Jocelyn

This morning, I scoured the web to find the best new coupons and rebate deals to save you some cash on your weekly shopping trip.

2017 Savings Round Up

Hello friends!

A few years ago I resolved to save more and spend less. While I have not been the best at “saving” per se, I have been spending less through the dedicated use of coupons, rebates, and web-browser extensions. I’m pretty pleased with my 2017 Savings Round Up.

This year I saved over $400!

One of the ways I did this was to spend a little time on Sunday mornings creating my shopping lists and looking for relevant promo codes coupons online. Additionally, I checked a variety of product rebate apps to see if there were deals on items I was planning to buy. Check out all the ways I saved below! In 2018, you can resolve to save more!

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

Ibotta – $52.29
- I’ve earned nearly $200 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!
- *If you sign up with my referral code, dlgmcji you can get a $10.00 welcome bonus.
  - Sign up at https://ibotta.com/r/dlgmcji
Checkout 51 – $31.55

- *Join me and earn 1,500 points when you use my referral code (BU7GX). That’s $1.50 in free points! Download the app at http://www.fetchrewards.com
Berrycart – $15.50

*Cartwheel by Target – $717.71 in total savings since June 2013

Online Savings Tools/ Browser Extensions:

Swagbucks – I’ve earned $125.00 in $25 Amazon.com gift cards this year!
- Click the above graphic for $3.00 referral bonus when you earn 300SB! ↑
Coupon Cabin – I just started using Coupon Cabin, and I’ve already earned $33.04 cash back!
RetailMeNot – While RetailMeNot is a goto when looking for online promo codes, many people overlook it’s cash back rebate offers. I’ve received $14.00 cash back in just two purchases.

Other Ways to Save:

Ebates – $116.96 (I’ve earned over $220 since December 2015)!
- Why not give it a try, too?Get $10 when you join with my link! Click on the graphic! →

Robinhood – I had been looking for an easy way to get started in stock trades for the past few years. Acorns is popular, but I determined it wasn’t for me since it automatically rounds up all purchases. I kept looking and stumbled on Robinhood.
- Robinhood 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!
  - For example, I deposited $5.00 and was given a free share of Zynga. How cool is that? Interested? Give it a try!

Discover It Card – This year I switched to the Discover It card. One enticing reason was that they have an excellent promotion for your first year—Discover doubles your entire cash back amount. This includes 1% cash back on all purchases, plus the 5% rotating quarterly categories (which are quite good and occasionally include Amazon.com!). Other perks include: no annual fee, free FICO credit score, no foreign transaction fee, and a 0% Intro APR for 14 months on purchases/ balance transfers.
- If you think this might be for you, use my link and get a $50 sign up bonus when you spend $50.

So was it worth it? I saved over $400 this year not including Discover cash back. That’s not bad for doing little more than snapping a photo of my receipts, taking some surveys, and adding browser extensions. In my opinion, the time investment is minimal, and these savings tools really do make you think about what you purchase and the amount you spend. Plus, think of all the things $400 can buy—a round trip ticket to Los Angeles… my cats food and litter for a year… I could go on.

So what do you resolve to do this year?

Cheers!

Jocelyn

November Savings: Go Veggie, Follow Your Heart, & Tips on Swagbucks/ Ebates.

Hello everyone,

Are you feeling refreshed after getting an extra hour of sleep last night? Say what you want about Daylight Savings Time, but I think everyone enjoys getting an extra hour of sleep once in awhile! I’m not sure it makes up for the super early evenings though… So I’m spending this rainy, gray day planning for my week and reviewing finances. What fun! I also spent some time checking on current promotions for my favorite rebate apps and savings websites. Check out the fall perks and full November Savings below!

Right now Swagbucks has a great fall promotion for new members. Simply sign up with my referral link and earn 300 points (essentially $3.00) that you can turn into a variety of gift cards, even for Amazon!

Why not get paid to shop, answer questions, and watch videos?

Not to be outdone, Ebates is offering $10 cash back for new sign ups! Plus, Groupon just doubled their cash back on the site from 3% to 6%!

And, I am sooooooo excited that Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo is now being sold online via. Amazon.com. I was distraught when Target pulled these products earlier this year. I just orderly an embarrassing large amount of Just Mayo Light – it’s my favorite!
