- Coupons.com I use frequently. I use it on my phone as well as using it on my computer so I can print coupons out at home on my own home printer.

- Walmart Savings Catcher App was great but closed earlier this year. ;(

I like the Michael’s APP because I no longer have to make sure to rip out the 40% off coupon, it is always right there to use when I enter the store and touch my APP!
- Retail Me Not is one I use a lot!! This money saving APP has coupons to many of the local retailers you visit. You can scroll through them to find what % off you can use. Some are for online and some are able to be used in store as well.

I use swagbucks and am happy cashing out Amazon vouchers although there are many other ways to cash out including PayPal.
Thanks for your tips
I also use Yaarlo. It literally is only pennies on the dollar, not gonna get rich I know. You just simply take a pic of your receipts and can get gift cards or directly to Pay Pal. Took me about 9 months but hey it was an EASY $50 and paid into my Pap Pal acct in like 36 hours so no complaints. Please use my referral code to sign up MARYSCOT432
Another good app is qmee. I found it as a chrome extension then found it had an app. You can cash out at any time to your paypal.
there is not enough memory on phone to download all these apps stupid iphone
Grrrrr, frustrating
Ibotta is my favorite by far! Like Checkout 51 but with so many more coupons. And there are preferred stores where you don’t even have to scan your receipt–just give the cashier your linked phone number before paying (like Fareway)
I really enjoyed your post. You offered a lot of apps I hadn’t thought of like Retail Me Not and Walmart Savings Catcher.
