I shopped savvy using Walmart Saving Catcher, as part of a sponsored post forCrowdtap #WMTSavingsCatcher.
Back in the days before I had four children, I used to coupon a lot. I was a super couponer. I went to extremes driving all over town to get the best deals. Picking up Sunday papers every weekend and filing away all my coupons. The amount of time I poured into matching the best sales with high value coupons and getting products for a fraction of the cost was a full time job in itself. I did well with couponing and saved our family A LOT of money. Eventually I got burnt out. Planning a weekly shopping trip took HOURS because I had to scour sales, match coupons and figure out scenarios for each deal. Each shopping trip also took hours with me running all over town to get a few things here and a few things there so I could maximize my savings by cashing in on each store’s sale prices. It was exhausting. I loved saving money but it came at a cost. My time, my gas and eventually my sanity!
Here is a peak into my utility room where my stockpile resides. I haven’t couponed for the last year and still my stockpile remains HUGE! My shelves are full! I’m thankful for the savings that have lasted us so long!
So how can a busy mom like me save money without clipping coupons or driving all over town? Luckily there’s an app for that! Lol okay I had to say that, but really the way I save now is SO easy you’re going to thank me when I reveal it!
Walmart understands that moms are busy and we don’t always have time to thumb through ads for the best prices, clip coupons or drive to multiple stores. I know if I am going to drag my kids into a store to get groceries, then it’s the only place I’m going! I will no longer drive to five different stores in order to get the best prices, BUT I still get them anyway! With Savings Catcher from Walmart I can get the best prices all at Walmart! No price matching required! Just download the app and scan your receipt or if you don’t have a smartphone you can go online at your computer and enter your receipt. It really is THAT easy!
How does it work? Savings Catcher scans local competitor ads for the lowest advertised prices. If they find a product you purchased for a lower price somewhere else then they give you back the difference in the form of reward dollars that you can use just like cash at Walmart. I’ve been using Savings Catcher for about a month now and I love it! It’s like getting free money with zero effort on my part. Say your local big box store is running a deal on your favorite hair spray. They have it on sale for $2.50 but at Walmart it’s regular priced and not on sale at $4.00. Buy your hair spray at Walmart. Pay full price. Scan your receipt and BOOM! Within 72 hours you will see a credit in your rewards dollars for the difference. Redeem it next time you shop!
That’s right. Simple, easy savings without clipping coupons or driving all over town for the best price. I’ve already saved a bunch and I’m letting it accumulate. Once it does I’m going to spend it on something to spoil myself with. I’m not sure what exactly I will spend it on yet but the top contenders are chocolate, bubble bath and a new lamp for the living room (Update: I finished my living room makeover on a dime! Check it out here). Savings Catcher is amazing. So easy and free it sounds to good to be true but it’s not! Now you know my secret 🙂 How to save money without clipping coupons! It’s easy!
You can check out Savings Catcher on the Walmart website or download the app to your smartphone!
Do you coupon? What would you do with the money you save by using Savings Catcher?
Looking for ways to earn money from home?
See how I make a living blogging and get my tips for getting started here!
That is awesome. I totally need to download this.
That’s an impressive stockpile! I’ve been hearing a lot about this new app from Walmart. I’m going to check it out.
I am addicted to price matching. I don’t find couponing with my time as I am in Canada and it’s not as awesome up here but I get a high off price matching.
I need to start doing more coupon-ing to save money. This is awesome.
I love the way this works. It is so great the way you can save money and it being so simple to do.
Savings Catcher seems like a great app. I love anything that makes saving money easier!
I started using this awhile ago. Haven;t gotten money back yet but still love it!
I started using it a few weeks ago and so far it’s been pretty cool… I love the anticipation. So far I have gotten .30 back, lol… but hey, it’s still money, right
I briefly toyed with the idea of extreme couponing. Then I realized that I got frustrated enough using regular coupons. I think this Savings Catcher app is a better option for me.
Wow, I cannot believe how HUGE your stockpile is. Looks like you have been saving a ton.
The savings catcher sounds like a great way to save money. From the looks of your stash, you’ll never have to buy groceries again!
Oh my goodness, I should have read this post this morning! i just did a big grocery trip to Walmart. I hope I still have the receipt! I’m getting this app and scanning that receipt! Seriously I love saving money, but I can’t do all the couponing stuff.
I’m a big Walmart shopper, so I’m definitely going to be getting this app. Thanks for the heads up!
You know, it’s so true what you said. I no longer drive to different stores either. I go to ONE store and get everything I need, regardless of if it’s twenty cents cheaper across town. My time is definitely worth something. This is great, thank you1
Wow that is one awesome stockpile. I wish I had time to devote to saving that much money but unfortunately I don’t. 🙁
This is my kind of couponing! I’ve never been great at couponing because it takes so much time! However, I could totally do something like this!
I’m definitely going to check this out! Thanks!
I ate clipping and looking for coupons holding up the line. I have feeling I will enjoy this app.
I’ve never been a couponer. I know I need to focus more on saving money, but I buy fresh produce and make my own detergent….so I haven’t really spent time learning to do it. But I’ve heard amazing things of stockpiling!
I will use coupons but i’m not a big stockpiler like you were! I do have the Savings Catcher on my phone and have already saved money!
is this for real, because i just am never going to be a coupon cutting person. but, i will download an app! 🙂
I do not clip coupons. I do like to price match. This would be a great app for me. The only thing about price matching is having to bring all the flyers.
I do use coupons,but don’t have a phone that l can scan with
That’s all you need! No coupons required!
So I’m fortunate to have Walmart, Aldi’s and public within a mile radius of one another, does this app take publix bogo’s into account?
We have been using the Savings Catcher since August 2014 (I looked) and so far our savings is $29.53.
