The Siberian American: Best Grocery Apps

Best Grocery Apps

I can be a bit frugal. The word “cheapskate” has slipped out of my husband’s mouth a time or two. I am all about saving money, especially since we are currently a single-income household. Even so, I don’t like time-consuming ways to save money. That’s why I love grocery apps. With these apps, all I have to do is take a photo of my receipt, and I get cash or rewards back.

Checkout 51:
I like this grocery app because it gives me cash back on groceries without having to buy a certain brand. This app has a list of items that you can receive cash back on that changes weekly. The downside is that the list is small, and I usually only buy one or two items from the list a week. I like to use it because bananas are always on the list.

Receipt Hog: 
With Receipt Hog, you can upload any grocery receipt to receive rewards, which you can spend on cash or Amazon gift cards. Receipt Hog is quick and easy to use, and I like that you don’t have purchase specific items to use it. The only negative of this app is it takes a long time to have enough points for a reward.

Ibotta:
Ibotta is great because you can get cash for purchasing items at many different stores, including clothing and electronics stores. It has a large amount of items available for cash back, and you can get bonuses for working as a team with your friends. The downside to this one is you have to do an action before getting your cash (such as “learn a fact” or “get a recipe”), so it takes longer.

Do you use grocery apps? Do you have a favorite?

  9. Sounds pretty cool; I didn't even know about this. I only use Our Groceries, so that my husband and I can sync our list between the two of us, which is pretty convenient.
