Whether you’re a student on a tight budget or a big family with an even bigger appetite, higher food costs don’t have to equate to higher grocery bills. With some savvy shopping skills and money-saving apps, you can stash away some cash every time you go grocery shopping. To help you save, we’ve rounded up 5 grocery coupon and cash back apps that are actually worth downloading.
1. Rakuten (formerly Ebates)
Get cash back when shopping online at over 750 stores.
Rakuten offers cash back when you shop online. Download the Rakuten app, sign up for a free account, and start shopping through the app to earn up to 30% cash back. Every time you shop through their app, Rakuten gets a commission from stores – and they share that wealth with you.
With over 750 stores on their roster, Rakuten is like a treasure chest for penny-pinchers. Get cash back on your groceries when shopping online at popular sites like Amazon and Walmart. Or earn money back when subscribing for meal prep services like Hello Fresh and Chef’s Plate.
Rakuten pays out your cash back every 3 months – as long as you’ve banked at least $5.01. You can choose to get your money through a physical cheque in the mail, a deposit to your PayPal account, or an Amazon e-gift card.
