Personal Finance Apps And Tools
I like saving money, so not only do I search for great deals on the things I buy, I also look for ways to earn cash back or earn rewards on my purchases. Because of that, I've been able to find several great websites and apps that have helped me to save some decent money over the years.
And now I want to share those sites with you. Below is a list of sites that I've either used or currently used and found helpful to me. Many of the links to these sites are affiliate links. What that means is if you click an affiliate link and then sign up or make a purchase I may make a small commission at no extra charge to you.
Let's get to saving!
Money-saving apps
Rakuten

When I discovered Rakuten (formally Ebates) I was like where have you been all my life. When you sign up for Rakuten you can earn free, yes free, cashback when you do your normal shopping.
Once you've signed up all you have to do is go to the site and click on the store you're going to be shopping at like Kohls, Sephora, or Ulta, and do your normal shopping. Once you make a purchase they give you some of the commission they earned on referring you to the store. If you sign up using my affiliate link you can get some immediate cashback!
Honey
The mission of Honey is to provide the tools it takes to find the best savings, perks, and all-around value when shopping online. When you sign up for Honey and make your purchase you earn what's called gold. When you've accumulated enough gold you can cash that in for gift cards to some of your favorite stores like Amazon and Walmart.
Additionally, Honey will look for coupon codes during the checkout process and add to your store cart any they find that apply to your purchase. So not only are you getting rewarded for shopping you don't have to spend a lot of time and effort finding coupon codes to save even more.

Fetch Rewards
This is an app that you can use to earn rewards on your grocery shopping. With Fetch, all you have to do is scan the receipt and you earn some points. The points can then be redeemed for gift cards for online shopping or restaurants. Fetch is really easy to use plus you can link your email and get points on your digital receipts as well. Not many other apps do this.Receipt Hog
