When Mobile Coupons and Discount Gift Cards Collide: Vol. 4

Happy Friday, everyone! We’re getting ready to head into the weekend, so I’m bringing you another installment of “When Mobile Coupons and Discount Gift Cards Collide.” I’ve been SnipSnapping for over a year now and, during that time, I’ve completely transformed the way I see and spend money. Smart phone technology simply makes it way easier to be a super-efficient, organized, high-achieving human being. Before mobile MP3 players and GPS running apps, I was a lot less fit. Before Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, I was a lot less social. And before mobile couponing apps like SnipSnap, well, let’s just say couponing was something I always “aspired” to do.

Now that I can organize my money and scout out deals from my phone, while I’m waiting in line at the grocery store, riding the train, or working the elliptical machine at the gym, I’ve realized how truly invested I am in saving money every second of the day. I save on everything with mobile coupons: my daily coffee fix, groceries, and fashion for every season. And the more money I’ve banked from mobile couponing, the more convenient, unconventional saving strategies I’ve sought out.

Recently, I learned about Gift Card Rescue, a phenomenal service that offers cash for unwanted gift cards others can buy at a discount rate. Who doesn’t have five or ten favorite stores? I grocery shop, clothes shop, and eat out at the same places all the time. By purchasing discount gift cards, I can save 5-20% every time I shop at my favorite stores, and that’s before I use my coupons! Check out this week’s mobile coupon/discount gift card match ups, to learn how you can stack two very easy, savvy saving strategies.

This Week’s Top Ten Coupons: Free Drinks, Fashion Steals, and Beauty Essentials

It’s only Tuesday and already I’ve snipped a ton of amazing deals in the SnipSnap app this week. What am I shopping for lately? For starters, I’m constantly on the hunt for summer clothes since my summer wardrobe is old and I’ve donated many things to charity. I’m also on a continuous caffeine kick (what else is new?) and I have a few BBQs and get-togethers coming up, so coffee and low fuss party food coupons are a must. And, in addition to revamping my wardrobe, I’m also cleaning out the old makeup bag and searching for new beauty find to take me into the summer season. With everything I’m shopping for, I”m definitely in luck: my Mall, Coffee, and Beauty coupon bundles are bursting at the digital seems with amazing deals. Check out this week’s best coupons for a beautiful summer.
