If you want practical strategies for saving during the holidays, I recommend reading How To Save Money During The Holidays (20+ Ways To Save & Make Money!) for a comprehensive list of tips and ideas.
Tip for shopping this holiday season:
There are several simple ways to reduce costs this holiday season using mobile apps. Consider these straightforward methods:
- Scan grocery receipts with Fetch Rewards. Fetch Rewards is a cashback app that gives you points for receipts from grocery stores. You can submit receipts from virtually any grocery store to earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards and rewards. You can learn more about signing up for Fetch Rewards via the original site link provided.
- Shop through Rakuten to earn cashback at online retailers. Rakuten lets you click through its portal to hundreds of participating stores—examples include department stores, outdoor retailers, and toy shops—then shop as you normally would. Purchases made after clicking through the Rakuten portal earn cashback. There has historically been a sign-up bonus for qualifying purchases; check the provider’s site for current offers and terms.
- Earn cashback on gas, groceries, and restaurants with Upside. Upside is a mobile app that shows participating gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants where you can earn cashback. After creating a free account, use the app to find nearby locations offering rebates—cashback rates vary by merchant and location. Typical examples include per-gallon cash back at certain gas stations and percentage back on grocery and restaurant purchases. Visit the Upside page referenced originally for more details and current rates.
I personally use these apps and recommend them for easy, low-effort ways to save money during the holidays and year-round.
Enjoy!
