We would like to use our income tax return, but sometimes that money has to be spent on unforeseen medical expenses, car repairs, braces for the kiddos, a broken appliance&#8230;. you know how it is&#8230;. the list goes on and on. And, it can be difficult to save money.

Ugh, Really? Coupons? Who&#8217;s got time for all that noise? And honestly, in the summer, we are so busy that I get behind on couponing. But, when school starts back, we spend a lot more time at home and it is easier for me to keep up with it. Couponing is a lot of work, but it is so worth it when my grocery bill goes from $100+ to $20 at the register. And that&#8217;s a lot of cash that can go into our savings account for our next vacay.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not crazy about the food that is offered on coupons, you can use coupons to save money on toilet paper, feminine products, shampoo, dish soap, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Need Help? These are my two favorite places to find coupons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thekrazycouponlady.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Krazy Coupon Lady<\/em><\/a> &#8211; <\/strong>These ladies basically do all of the work for you. They tell you the sales that are happening at major stores and match the coupons to the sales. They even provide the links for online coupons. It saves a ton of work and time! I get all kind of<em><strong> FREE<\/strong> <\/em>item coupons from this website &#8211; from free paper towels to free cat food!<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/allnaturalsavings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>All Natural Savings<\/em><\/a> &#8211; <\/strong>If you love all things organic, non-GMO, and gluten free, this website provides a constant feed of sales and coupons. They also provide direct link to the coupons, and you can print coupons directly from your computer. You can search through specific needs (organic or gluten free) or search through store deals (Trader Joe&#8217;s or Whole Foods). They also share online deals from retailers such as Amazon and Thrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you have a $200 per week grocery budget, and you use $10 -$20 in coupons. Then you take the $10-$20 and slide it over to your savings account. That adds up to $520- $1040 per year!<\/p>\n<p>Every Wednesday, I check the new deals in my local grocery store.\u00a0 Sometimes you can get great deals without coupons. Sometimes there are great grocery deals that you can combine with coupons to maximize savings. I try to match the sale items with coupon in order to save the most money. If I find pasta or cereal at an awesome price, then I stock up for a month or two (most items go on sale every 6-8 weeks).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Rebates<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/?attachment_id=2754\" rel=\"How I Save Up Money for Family Vacations\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2754\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/index.php\/2017\/09\/03\/save-money-family-vacations\/iphone-410311_960_720\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?fit=960%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"iphone-410311_960_720\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2754 \" title=\"How I Save Up Money for Family Vacations\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?resize=671%2C447&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How I Save Up Money for Family Vacations\" width=\"671\" height=\"447\" data-wp-pid=\"2754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/have-kids-will-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/iphone-410311_960_720.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/a>I love rebate apps.\u00a0It may feel like just a dollar here and a couple dollars there, but it is super easy and it adds up fast!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ibotta\u00a0 &#8211; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ibotta.com\/r\/sqemica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ibotta<\/strong><\/a> is very easy to use and they have partnered with over 300 retailers &#8211; Publix, Costco, Walmart, Amazon, Sam&#8217;s Club, Groupon, etc.\u00a0 Just find the rebates you are interested in redeeming (Krazy Coupon Lady is great at listing deals at stores with the corresponding Ibotta rebate). After shopping, take a picture of your receipt. Ibotta matches the products on the receipt to the rebates and puts them in your account. You can sign up for Ibotta through <em><a href=\"https:\/\/ibotta.com\/r\/sqemica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>THIS LINK<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and you&#8217;ll receive a <em><strong>$10 Welcome Bonus<\/strong><\/em> after your first Rebate. When I first started using the Ibotta APP, I honestly ran to Walmart and bought two packs of gum for $1.92. I then scanned my receipt, received a $1.00 rebate for the gum and then the $10.00 Welcome Bonus showed up in my account. I continued to redeem more rebates over the next two week and received another $10.00 ($5.00 &amp; $5.00) Bonus. It felt good to have $35+ dollars within a few weeks (my product rebates + bonuses). In addition to racking up cash rebates for products and services, you will also continue to receive bonuses if you refer people to <a href=\"https:\/\/ibotta.com\/r\/sqemica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Ibotta<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check Out 51- <\/strong>Check Out 51 also works similarly to Ibotta.

Simply click a photo of your QR Code on the bottom of your Walmart receipt. If Walmart finds a lower price, you&#8217;ll be refunded the difference.
