Looking to save money on your grocery shopping? Use cashback sites and apps!
On top of couponing, another way to save on your groceries and other products and services you shop for regularly are rebate and cashback sites. Use more than one and really cash in on the cashback savings! Below are some of the top cashback sites and apps I use frequently, whether shopping in-store or online.
Ibotta
Ibotta is a great grocery cashback/rebate app. You can easily earn money back on the groceries you purchase already. Follow the steps below to start earning money back every time you go shopping!
1. Download the App –> Download the Ibotta app, available on iOS and Android. The app is required to submit a receipt.
2. Unlock Rebates –> Before you go shopping, unlock cash rewards on great products by simply adding the offer to your list.
3. Go Shopping –> Buy the products you’ve unlocked at any supported store.
4. Verify Your Purchases –> Scan your product barcodes, then submit a photo of your receipt.
5. Get Cash –> You’ll have the cash deposited into your Ibotta account within 48 hours.
Fetch Rewards
Fetch Rewards is a cashback and gift card earning app that rewards you for the purchases you already make or the restaurants you dine in. Just snap pictures of your receipts or eReceipts using the app’s receipt scanner then watch the gift cards and reward points roll in. They accept receipts from hardware stores, pet stores, auto stores, grocery stores, and more! Plus you can link your email to get rewards for your online shopping as well. With their receipt scanner, there’s no more cutting coupons or long waits for rewards. Just shop, scan, and save money. It’s that easy.
Treat yo’self! Earn & redeem points for gift cards at hundreds of popular stores or cash out via PayPal! Use this link to get 2,000 points when you download the app and signup!
Amazon Shopper Pannel
The Amazon Shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon and answering surveys. Sign up for the waiting list to be accepted into this awesome program!
Earning rewards is easy. Simply upload 10 eligible receipts per month by using the Amazon Shopper Panel app to take pictures of paper receipts or by forwarding email receipts to receipts@panel.amazon.com. You’ll receive a $10 Amazon gift card reward when you submit 10 or more eligible receipts in a month. You will also receive short surveys about brands or products that may be of interest to you and you can earn rewards for each survey you complete.
Checkout51
Every Thursday morning, Checkout 51 updates with a new list of offers. All you have to do is pick the ones you like, purchase them at any store, and upload a photo of your receipt through our mobile app or website. When your account reaches $20.00, we send you a check.
Checkout 51 is probably the easiest cashback grocery app because you simply select the items you purchased and take a picture of your receipt. You do not have to do any activity to unlock the offer. Their offers are a little more limited, but you can use them in addition to all the other cashback sites and apps, too!
Walmart Savings Catcher
The Walmart Savings Catcher is an easy way to price match. All you have to do is scan or enter your receipt on the Walmart App or website and then they do all the work! They compare your receipt to top competitors in your area for advertised deals on eligible items. If they find a product you purchased with a lower advertised then they will give you the difference! You don’t even need coupons for this one! 😉
Upromise
Upromise is a great savings site to start building a college fund for your children! From shopping and booking travel online to going to restaurants and using eCoupons, you’ll find lots of opportunities to earn cashback on what you’re buying anyway at Upromise. Plus, you can also build your kids’ college savings account even more by adding additional funds or inviting your friends and family to your kids’ account as well!
Rakuten (Formorally Ebates)
Ebates, now known as Rakuten, is the pioneer and leader of online Cash Back Shopping. They offer a $30 sign-up bonus, too! All you have to do is sign up through this link, make a $30 purchase through a link on their website, and they’ll credit your account with $30. That’s $30 of goods for FREE! SUPER TIP: Purchase a gift card for $30 through the Rakuten app or website then use the gift card for whatever you want. BAM, Free Money!
The company was founded in 1998 by two Deputy District Attorneys in Silicon Valley who used to prosecute online fraud & identity theft before starting Ebates (so you can be sure we are very into secure online transactions!). So go ahead, sign up and start shopping now. Joining Ebates is always free – you’ll never pay them anything. And four times a year or more, they’ll mail you a Big Fat Check, or transfer the money straight to your PayPal account if you’d prefer. They can even send the money to your favorite charity. All 100% free!
BerryCart
Find deals on the best organic, gluten-free, or non-GMO foods near you by downloading the FREE app and start browsing exclusive BerryCart offers on foods you can feel good about. Find deals and rebates of the best natural, organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO kinds of foods.
For each offer, you will need to review insights about each product with a fun fact, quiz, testimonial, and more. Each action you complete on BerryCart unlocks a one-time rebate that you can redeem after you buy the product. Just take a picture of the receipt, and within 24 hours BerryCart will send you real money that can be cashed out through PayPal or various gift cards.
Receipt Hog
With Receipt Hog, you earn rewards every time you shop — any store, any brand, online or in-store — no coupons or offers needed. Just share your paper or digital receipt through their app and earn rewards!
As a bonus, you can also enjoy additional money-saving rewards and earning features. Earn bonus rewards and savings for answering surveys about the places you shop and products you buy. You can also win daily slot jackpots, earn weekly bonuses for regular uploads, and win huge coin balances in their monthly sweepstakes.
Using the Receipt Hog app earns you real money. Accumulate rewards and coins, and trade in those coins for cash with Paypal, Visa, or a gift card.
Swagbucks
Swagbucks is a fun site that you can earn “Swagbucks” to redeem for gift cards, enter sweepstakes, or redeem to PayPal for cash money! One way to earn these bucks is to simply upload your shopping receipts. It works very similarly to Ibotta; you add the offers you want to redeem then upload your matching receipt. Once confirmed, your Swagbucks will be added to your account.
Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars also offers cashback from uploading your grocery shopping receipts. It uses the same program as Swagbucks as well. You will need to either go to the website or download the app then select/add the offers you want, buy the matching product at the store, then upload your receipt.
Just think, if you go to the grocery store and buy $100 of goods then upload your receipt to ALL of these cashback sites you could end up making money just from going to the store and buying the items you would normally buy! Whoop Whoop!
