Money Saving Tools & Resources
These are our favorite apps and tools to save money and earn cash back!
We love using the Fetch Rewards app to get points for every receipt! The points add up and can be redeemed for a variety of gift cards. It’s the easiest receipt app in our opinion. You can sign up for a free account here.
We love using Ibotta every time we visit the grocery store! Ibotta is an app that you can download on your smartphone for FREE! You choose the store you are shopping at, and then you pick items from the list that you bought. Next, you scan your receipt and receive cash back. It’s super easy to start earning cash back from things you were already going to buy! You can read more about it in our blog post: How to Save Money Shopping. Sign up for Ibotta here.

Rakuten (formerly Ebates) is a great tool if you like to shop online (although it can be used in stores too!). You get cash back (sometimes up to 10%) from stores that you are already shopping at.

Blogging Tools & Resources
If you are thinking about starting a blog, these are the tools we use and love!
Canva is one of our favorite and most used blogging tools. It is a free photo editor website and app. We use it to create all of our graphics and social media posts. It is also great for creating PDFs. There is also a paid version that has more features, but the free version is awesome. We highly recommend Canva for all bloggers or anyone else that likes to create graphics. You can sign up here.
