Donna recently shared her savings with the Savears, the left was her goal and the right is the amount she actually earned from August 2018 through May 2019.
Donna explains how she used Swagbucks and more to earn $469 and more to achieve her savings goal for Disney!
“The most important thing I have found when using the savings apps is consistency. I set myself a daily goal for most apps and work to meet that goal. It does take a little time, and yes, I work…. I’m a teacher, PT music director and run my small Etsy shop. It’s all about planning. I try not to put all my eggs in one basket, like just doing Swagbucks, etc. For example, when I get ready to grocery shop, I check Ibotta, Savings Star, Checkout 51 and Fetch to ensure that I’m getting my biggest bang for my buck. Since you can double dip on these (sometimes quadruple dip), I don’t want to miss anything. I usually even indicate on my grocery list if there’s a rebate and where it is (Ibotta, etc) so that I don’t forget about it.”
