8 Apps to Earn You Dollars for Everyday Life

Want to bring extra money into your family’s budget? Here are 7 apps that we have used for years and have been paid by.

CoinOut: Speaking of easy snaps. CoinOut lets you submit any receipt in the whole wide world and will give you money for it. The earnings vary each time you snap a receipt. I’ve gotten as much as 14 cents and as little as one cent. This is a slow earner, but hey, free money is free money.

Ibotta: The grocery lover’s best friend! Earn cash back on select items, with new offers added weekly. Products range from national names to Any Brand items. We all have to buy food, so we many as well get paid for it, eh?

Fetch Rewards: What’s not to love? You snap your receipt, you get points. You get enough points, you get a gift card. My favorite thing about Fetch is how you can get sneaky deals. They rotate featured items and brands that you can get bonuses for. I will be real, I am trash at keeping track of their bonuses. So I just snap my receipts each week and am pleasantly surprised when I get 4000 points for the Gerber Baby Food I bought. Easy easy easy.

Swagbucks: What else is there to say about Swagbucks? Surveys, shopping, trials, a live nightly gameshow…Swagbucks is the OG when it comes to Saving.

Dabbl: Dabbl keeps finding new ways to hook me. First it was the easy 30 second ads. Then they added surveys which awarded points based on how you far you got before you disqualified. It was shock to the system to not get 1 point for a dq’d 500 point survey, but 200. Now you can also scan grocery receipts! The ket to my heart: an easy grocery receipt snap.

Receipt Hog earn from your receipts from grocery stores, warehouse stores, retail stores, pharmacys, and pretty much any clothing store.

Shopkick: This is one of my newest obsessions. I love that you can get points (kicks!) just for entering a store. Peak Lazy KB still likes earning for the Disney Fund. If you’re feeling a little more engaged, you can scan items in store for additional kicks. And if you buy any of these items, you get more kicks for submitting your receipt. I love an app with flexible earning strategies.

Upside – Earn on gas and restaurants in your area.
