If you're looking for even more ways to save money or earn gift cards and cash back, you're in the right place. Below are six more apps I use for saving and earning money.
1. Receipt Hog
This app is a simple one. Simply scan your receipts and earn points. With just 1,000 coins, you can earn $5 in PayPal, a $5 Amazon gift card, or a $5 Visa gift card. If you save up, you can earn even bigger rewards with a smaller coin amount per dollar. It's really easy to use, and you also get entered to win extra prizes each month. You also get spins to earn extra coins.

Rakuten is an app that gives you cash back on certain purchases when you do your shopping through their app. Simply go into the app and find an offer you would like to redeem. You can earn percentages back at stores like Sam's Club, Sephora, Walmart, Kohls, Merrell, Target, etc. You can join Rakuten for FREE!

3. Coin Out
While this app started out as a very slow way of making pennies, it has since changed to better reflect the effort you put into it. You can now earn various tiers of rewards based on how often you scan receipts. You can also link your Amazon and email accounts to receive bonuses. This app is a simple one. Simply scan your receipts and earn points to be redeemed for various gift cards or cash back. You can use my referral link below to check it out.

4. Gas Buddy
Gas Buddy is an app you can use to search for cheap gas near you. I did learn one lesson the hard way. If one gas station is 20 cents cheaper than every other station in town, chances are they're out of gas or out of business. So, don't go out of your way for some crazy good deal just in case it isn't real. Lol! It's still a wonderful app for finding the best deal on gas in your area. It's also great if you travel and aren't familiar with the best priced gas in a particular area or need to find a nearby station. If the price of the station isn't listed, you can share the price on the app to help out other people as well.
5. Poshmark
Poshmark is an excellent app for purchasing used items. I have found brand new Thirty-One items at amazing discounts! You can also find awesome brands like Keen, Coach, Merrell, and much more. They have a flat shipping fee, and your satisfaction is of great importance. I have had great success using this site for both buying and selling.

6. Key Ring
While this isn't a normal money-saving app, it is super handy! If you go to stores that have discount cards, those can be a huge pain to keep up with. Welcome the Key Ring App! You can scan all of your store cards into the app and use it instead of having to hunt for a particular store's card each time you shop. I have all of my discount cards saved in the Key Ring app: Ingles, Big Lots, Burkes Outlet, CVS, Food Lion, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Rite Aid, and even my library card!
I hope this list helps you save and/or earn a few bucks. Thanks so much for reading and sharing! Happy saving and earning!
