Receipt Hog

This one I have already gotten a couple of pay outs from. There are a few ways to earn on this app.

You can earn by submitting your receipts, once those receipts are approved (they must be from the past 14 days to qualify and if you are using ones that include a tip, you must actually provide the itemized one for it to qualify)

You can also earn by filling out surveys they will have every once in awhile, and there are bonuses as well for linking your Amazon account and email to the app, which are a one time thing.

How to earn the actual and redeem: You can redeem for either Paypal or Amazon money. They also recently added magazines as part of the prize. It is the biggest amount and a better value if you wait to get the maximum value.

So this one there is a spin to earn that you get from certain receipts or from certain challenges. With those spins you have a chance to win more coins, or other prizes like the amount of your last receipt.
You also get entries into sweeps to win coins each month they do a drawing, and each receipt earns you an extra entry into the monthly drawing.

It is a little time consuming, having to take pictures of the receipts but I like it because it is fun, and also you can look back and see your spending habits. Most of all I like that it is the same amount of coins for either Amazon or Paypal when you redeem your coins for pay out. Many are not that way. I have done one for Paypal and one for Amazon and both worked.

Honey

Honey is a money saving widget that goes right on your browser. What I personally like most about this is that it reminds you and asks you if you want to search for codes. Sometimes there are active codes and sometimes there aren't but it hurts nothing. Plus sometimes you get points for stuff if there is not money saving coupons. It is a no risk thing, and if you know of existing codes you can share for the whole Honey community! If you are like me...you will spend hours to find some kind of savings, even if it turns out to be a small amount, but this widget cuts that out for you.

I shared the link to get you started on saving money today! 

Disclaimer*

I am a researcher by nature, and investigation is in my blood.

I decided to start up a blog to help people using what I already do, but then also adding in a passion for saving money, earning money, etc.

Everything on my blog site I have tested myself, if you know of ones feel free to tell me and I will verify them myself. I have either used the products, or the services, etc and know they work or believe in it. I will not post something that I have not tried myself and has not passed my own personal tests.

Some of these things will be what you can get for free, some will be apps, some websites, others are products. Some require very little effort while others may require a bit more of your time and effort.

My promise to you is that I will always try it first and relay on my good and beneficial findings to you. I will be honest with you every step of the way and let you know if it is something that can simply save you money, earn you money, earn you points for free things or even gift cards, or even ones that can help you to earn a substantial amount of money. But all of this will be based around money.

Money does not create happiness, but with saving a bit or earning it I know it can help with some of the stress that you may deal with every day. My blog is not about greed, but more about helping people. 

I want to share something personal about me and why I want to help complete strangers. I have known what it had felt like to worry so much about if I would be able to eat for a full day. I have personally had to ask people to see if i could stay for how ever long on people's couches, and I have worried that I would have to live out of my car. Luckily I have swallowed my pride and was able to ask for help and have had some amazing people that helped me when it seemed like all hope was lost. I myself have been so desperate for money that I have been scammed and lost even more money because of it! BUT IT ALL TAUGHT ME SOMETHING! First: I am really great at doing research and investigation so my hard earned money doesn't get wasted and the bad people in this world don't win. And second: because of that research I can do more to help others so that maybe they will not get scammed or have to waste their time.

I hope you find my blog useful and please feel free to share with others. This is a slow work in progress, because I have lots I can post about, but I also work a full time job. So be patient as I get all these money saving and earning tips up for you all!
