Simple, Easy money from things you already do!

I spent a couple weeks attempting to find savings for my family from using coupons on the internet, but all that I really came across was websites that were sprouted from the extreme coupons era. These were mostly fake scam websites luring you in to get your machine infected with Mal-ware, viruses, etc. Then I happened to stumble across this lovely little app on the Android market. This app seemed too good to be true. I elected to download this app as I have done many of times in the past. I created an account on this app to find that everything that it said it did, well it did do.

So the app is called Checkout51. It is super simple. All you do is sign up with either you email address, or Facebook account. Next, review their offers. Let’s say Milk is one of the offers inside of their offers list. It will say a price. Let’s say it shows ($0.75). Alright, so you go shopping that night, and grab some milk at the store.  Once you get home, all you have to do is take a picture (with your phone), then upload that picture to the app. They review the receipt, and then add that ($0.75) to your account. This does not sound like a lot of money, but it adds up quickly, and it may help you try a new thing or two you have been debating. Once you have $20+ in your account, you can then request a pay out of that money.

This is an excellent idea for anyone that loves to use coupons, since this is essentially stacking coupons on top of one another, and the store that you buy these items from have no say of whether they will accept them or not. You cut them out. This is also something you already do anyways. You go to the store, and buy food. You are just taking a picture with your phone, and adding two seconds to shopping. You can even star the items you want, or as you shop you star the items you are throwing into your cart, so once you get home all you have to do is snap a picture of the receipt, and you are done!
