Whether or not you’re a coupon user, SavingStar is a great way to save money, sort of. With SavingStar, shoppers actually earn cash back on their groceries with nothing to clip or print! I am a coupon user, but I LOVE SavingStar because it gives me money back in addition to my coupon savings.
SavingStar offers deals from many popular grocery brands like Cheerios, Yoplait, Dove, and Dial. For some chains, SavingStar links deals directly to your store loyalty numbers – for example, Stop & Shop, CVS, Shaw’s MyMixx #, Wegmans, Price Chopper, Rite Aid, etc. That means, all you do (after registering and choosing the deals you want) is buy an item using your store’s loyalty card, and bam! you get cash back for it. For other stores, you can submit a picture of your receipt through the mobile app or website, for example Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Costco, etc.
Here’s a scenario that worked for me a couple of weeks ago: yogurt product we use was on sale 2 for $4 (usual price is $3 each) I had a coupon to save $1 on 2 PLUS I had selected the save $1 on 2 at SavingStar. Bottom line–after coupons and cash back, I paid $2 instead of $6 for the two yogurt items. Woo Hoo!
When you buy the products, you’ll earn cash back into your SavingStar account which can be paid out to a bank or PayPal account, or gift cards such as Starbucks, iTunes, and AMC Theatres.
Healthy Offer of the Week/Freebies
In addition to regular offers, every week members can save 20% on a different fresh produce item such as bananas, tomatoes, peppers, and more.
And, with Freebies members get an item for free (100% cash back) once or twice a month such as pasta, tuna fish, sugar, candy bars, dish soap, mac and cheese and more.
