Can't say as I have tried them but maybe I should.  After all, who couldn't use a little "extra"!!

I was using Ibotta, but after 3 months there was virtually nothing that I would buy to earn any cash. I'm stuck at like $3. I refuse to go to Walmart just for the extra savings, not worth it.

It amazes me when I hear people say they hate Walmart so bad and won't go there even though it is cheaper because they hate them so much.  Doesn't make any sense.  All the other stores are the same.  Walmart is just bigger and gets more attention.  The other stores sell crap made in China by kids as well.

LOL. Not worth it, believe me. I refuse to wait in line forever for the one lane that actually has a cashier working. The quality of the produce is atrocious and the 5% or whatever savings is NOT worth it. Maybe it is to you, but I would rather shop at a store that values me as a customer and doesn't care quite so much about the bottom line. To each their own. I can get in and out of Target 5-10 minutes faster... my time = money.

I started an app last month that I just run all day long. I installed on my old phone, turn the sound off, and let movie trailers play. You earn points and then you can redeem your points for gift cards. I want to get a good amount of points before I redeem so I haven't gotten anything from them yet.

Not sure what app you have but I have one that I can get points for watching movies as well as doing other things.  In reading the reviews one person said they saved their points to get a "good prize" and when the had enough their account was locked.  They suggested getting gift cards as soon as you had enough points.  And save those.  That is what I do.

lol.  Target is no different.  They are more concerned about the "bottom line" than you.  Believe it or don't.  Every store I have ever went in has the minimum in cashiers.  Has nothing to do with "saving a few pennies" although it is more like 25% at least.  Our local grocery store is at least 50 cents higher on EVERY ITEM that is offered at Walmart.

I guess I just really don't care if the Walton's are rich.  I am not jealous of them.  I am not going to say I won't shop where it is the cheapest for the SAME ITEMS just so they don't make a few more dollars.  People want to scream Walmart just sells cheap crap from China.  Well news flash they sell the same cheap crap from China at Target, Kmart, Dollar General, and all the other stores.

That's the funny thing.  I like Target SO MUCH BETTER than Walmart in general, when we used to get Rx at Walmart it was so impersonal and always a hassle.  When our Target store opened up several years ago, we switched to their pharmacy and it is thousands of times better than Walmart!! The pharmacists all know us by name and when they see us approaching the window, they go to grab our Rx from the pickup areas without even waiting to ask who we are or what we need.  They greet us by name and are always friendly.  That was NEVER the case with Walmart.


Target store is much nicer in general as well; BUT the checkout situation at Target is SO MUCH WORSE/SLOWER than it is at Walmart.  I don't know why, but it is the ONE area that is pitiful.  Walmart CAN be slow at times, but it is usually much better than Target.


Thankfully, we can pay at the pharmacy when we are picking up medication and they will also ring up a few regular merchandise items if we have them.

Yes, Checkout51 and SavingStar are my favorite. Then I have the walmart app which I get cash back on the difference of items if they are cheaper elsewhere. Made a lot of money with that one. Check it out!
