Do you sign up for the grocery store and/or gas station 'reward' card programs? How about the one's offered by your bank and credit cards? When you book a hotel or rent a car, do you go through expedia or another savings outlet?
For just a little effort, you can save/earn quite a chunk of change. Back in the ole' days, coupon clipping was the way to go. Now with rewards cards it's even easier to save and earn money.
I love the Fred Meyer rewards. My last earnings was a sweet $15.00 off.
76 'kickback' card. I usually get it up to about $10.00 and put it in gas every couple a weeks.
Albertsons shopping app and the Albertsons/Safeway rewards program. The savings in gas and free groceries always benefit the budget. As much as a buck off on gas! Every week a freebee special.
Bank of America has a 'deals' page on the web site. You click on the deals you'll use then just use your card to pay.
I have this hooked up on all my credit cards as well. Always at least 10% extra discounts, sometimes cash back.
REBATES - Ever fill out the post cards and send your receipt or what ever proof of purchase required, to get a rebate check in the mail? $3.00 $5.00 $15.00, they add up.
How about the most recent series of 'class action lawsuits'. I know the first thing some folks are going to say is...
" Ya, I filled one of those out once and got a whopping .25 cent check. The stamp to mail it cost more".
I would agree with you. Not all of them are worth it.
However......
The last 3 'class action' cases,
I filled out the paperwork for,
awarded me
$12.00$50.00$13,000.00So, tell me again, how it's not worth it.
With just a little time and effort, you could be saving hundreds of dollars a year.
