Stretch Your Household Budget: Use RewardsTo Shop Cashless!

Sign-up for store (and/or restaurant) specific rewards programs, as many allow you to earn points that can be redeemed however you see fit, with a few potential exceptions. (Others will give specific rewards periodically.) Then ALWAYS pay for whatever items you're allowed to with your rewards points and save your cash for places and/or things that cannot be offset with a rewards redemption.

You can extend the savings further by using coupons where allowable at the time of purchase and employing rebates (via apps, receipt upload/text or the old-fashioned mail-in variety) when you can stack them after purchase. Look out for bonus deals, i.e., "buy this and get this free right now" or "buy this, send in your receipt and get this sent back to you later."

ALWAYS read any Terms & Conditions to be aware of exceptions! But done correctly it's possible to have your shopping habits almost entirely fund your basic household necessities, including food, toiletries, medicines, etc.. Remember, the proactive and prepared shopper scores the best deals.
