E2E’s Money Saving Ideas

Knowing that Amazon’s Prime Day (s) starts tomorrow and runs through Wednesday the 13th, I’d thought we’d give you some money saving ideas that we use.

1. Use Rakuten to get money back on your purchases. To date, I have gotten over $1,000 back from purchases. Just remember to use their website or app before you make any purchase. Even in store.

2. Use credit cards with great benefits like cash back and travel benefits/points. Recommend you start here to see what fits you best right now. My favorite is Costco’s Citi Visa for cash back and American Express Platinum for travel perks.

3. Sign up for your favorite restaurants’ apps. Get your order quickly and get free food! My two favorite are Chick-fil-A and Jersey Mike’s.

4. Add RetailMeNot as a Chrome extension and download their app. When you go to a shopping website in their system, a coupon will pop up to save you money. They also have cash back like Rakuten.

Try them out and start saving! And, by the way, #1 and #4 can help you save even more during Amazon Prime Day!
