3 APPS FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE THAT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY ON GROCERIES

Hey Mama! Looking for a way to save money on those expensive groceries? Having a family of 7, I really had to find some creative ways to save money.  And if I am really being honest,  grocery shopping is not really my favorite. In fact, sometimes I dread it. I put it off until I can’t put it off anymore. As much as I dread it, I do know that it is a part of life and it is something on the list that must be done.

Even though I don’t really like grocery shopping; I do like a good sale. I enjoy saving money (who wouldn’t)! So, to help motivate me I started using these 3 apps when I grocery shop.  Each app offers cash back on grocery items.

 TIP: Print coupons from coupons.com and match them up with items on the apps to maximize your savings.

What’s great is, the apps are easy to use and don’t require much time. All you have to do is download the apps to your smartphone and plug in your info. Cashback deals will pop up for all sorts of grocery items. It is actually pretty cool. And If you are going to be out grocery shopping anyway, why not save a little money? You can use this extra money to buy yourself a latte, purchase more groceries or startup that emergency fund you know you need. Whatever it is you do with the extra cash is up to you!

Well, Mama here is a little motivation for your next grocery trip!
