My new favorite way to save money

I am a cheapo. I am not afraid to admit it. The problem is that I also have kind of expensive taste. Maybe that is why I am such a DIY girl. I like things to look nice, but I can’t get myself to spend the amount of money that most places charge for the things that I like. I went through a small coupon phase, but it was WAY too time consuming. Don’t get me wrong, if I get a good coupon, I WILL use it. After spending time clipping coupons that I wasn’t using, I realized that wasn’t the answer for me. I gave up trying to save money all together. I would shop at just one store and be okay with it.

Then I realized how much money I was spending. I couldn’t do it. My penny pinching blood would boil when I would get to the register and the cashier would tell me how much I owed. I started looking at ads and would drive around to different stores to get the best deals on things. I was really excited when Walmart announced that they would price match competitor prices when they were advertised. I used that often. Then I moved and my life changed a lot.

I no longer had all of the different stores I was accustomed to. I had to make special trips to go to those stores and that meant that I didn’t have the time to drive around to different stores and I didn’t get the newspaper with the ads that I would use to price match with. Thankfully, right about the same time I moved, I was introduced to the greatest app of all time!

Drumroll please…

Walmart Savings Catcher! You guys! This app totally blows my mind! How it works, is you shop at Walmart and buy all of the things that you need. You don’t worry about what the other stores are selling these items for, you just buy what you need and you don’t waste your time driving around town all day. After you buy everything, you open up the Walmart Savings Catcher app and scan your Walmart receipt. The app checks the competitor’s printed ads for the identical products and if any of the competitors have a cheaper price listed than what Walmart sold their product for, you get the difference! Walmart seriously didn’t need to do this, but they did and it is amazing!

I love that when I have used it, I have seen a few items that were cheaper at other stores and I know that I will get the difference of those items. I also really love it when there aren’t cheaper prices too because it is a nice reminder that Walmart has my back! They really do have awesome prices everyday.

I have really missed having two Walmart stores within a 15 minute drive. Often times, I would go there every single day because I would realize I had forgotten something and would go grab it. It wasn’t a big deal at all. There were even days that I would go more than once. Now it is an hour drive! I have to plan out my life a little more because I can’t just drive there when I forget something. That is just another reason why I love knowing that Walmart has my back and will either have the lowest price around, or will give me the difference if another competitor has advertised a cheaper one! Seriously, Walmart Savings Catcher will change your life!

I had saved this post bc I had that problem of not being able to figure out how to redeem savings. I had saved a total of $13.59. Then suddenly one day that savings showed redeemed! But I didn't redeem it. I went into my local WalMart where I waited 20min to be told by a mgr that they didn't know how to use it. I was hoping to see if you knew how to get your cash. Thanks!

I have tried Savings Catcher. To date I have earned back about $11.00. The unfortunate part of this is I can't figure out how to redeem it. My totals show redeemed..... But I haven't used any of the money. So where does it go and how do I get it back to redeem. Any thoughts? Thanks!
