Apps Worth The Phone Space

by Ashley Davis Leave a Comment

Life as a teen can seem expensive. It can be hard to go out when all you have is a part-time job. But you don’t have to sacrifice fun for saving. There are so many great apps that you can use to save money. Here are my favorite apps worth the phone space.

There are so many great apps that you can use to save money. Here are some apps worth the phone space.

Moe’s

Moe’s has a wonderful app that allows you to scan your receipt and earn points. These points will add up, and when you reach 1000, you get a $10 reward. You also receive text notifications for coupon offers and special discounts or double points days.

Starbucks

The Starbucks app can be useful for the avid coffee-drinker. You can add money to the app or sync it with a gift card. Then you can purchase online or in store to earn Stars. These Stars can earn you free drinks or discounts. The only downside to this app is that the Stars expire. If you only go occasionally, you may not earn enough Stars to get rewards before they expire.

Walmart

If Walmart is your supermarket of choice, then you need to get the app. You scan your receipt, and it will run a price check. If the items are cheaper somewhere else, you will receive the difference in the form of a gift card. These points can add up over time.

Ulta

Ulta will send you reminders and coupons through the app and email. All you have to do is sign up for free. The app will even let you filter through all current sales. They always have a coupon or sale going on something.

Bruster’s

The Bruster’s app allows you to scan your barcode at checkout to earn points. You also get a free birthday reward and a coupon for signing up. They will also send updates on new flavors or promotions.

But what if you don’t have the phone space? How else can you save money? There are plenty of mailing lists as well. But some of the most beneficial for me are Sephora and Barnes and Noble.

Both will send you recommendations for products you may like. They also send information on sales and events that are going to take place.

Both of these are email lists, and they often send coupons or promotions. Sephora sends me a 20% coupon about twice a year, both digitally and physically. They also send me weekly email blasts about items on sale or special events.

Barnes and Noble sends coupons and ads both through email and through physical mail. This mailing list is helpful because they custom-pitch books for you based on past purchases. The only downside is that there is a fee for signing up to receive these awards and discounts.

So if you’re looking to save some cash, sign up for those apps and mailing lists. They may be annoying sometimes, but they often more than make up for it in the money saved.

When you’re busy raising a teen, it can be easy to let money lessons slide. But one valuable lesson you cannot forget is teaching your teen how to save money. It doesn’t have to be too detailed or complicated. In fact, you can just sit down and have your teen promise to save a percentage of their first paycheck or put aside a portion, or even all, of their allowance. I cover some of the easiest ways to teach a teen to become a money saver with these practical and easy tips to get the conversation started.

Practical Tips – Teaching Your Teen To Save

Zan Campbell knows a thing or two about making a good first impression with the way you dress. As a helicopter pilot with the US Navy, he’s had to really work his way to the top, and one of the ways he did this is by styling himself in a way that was memorable and professional. Zan stops by the blog to give his best advice for teens who want to class up their looks and use fashion to their advantage.

Making A Good First Impression – by Zan Campbell

Dog-sitting is an awesome job for responsible teenagers who love to be around animals and can work independently. Plus, it’s perfect to work around your school or work schedule. I had my first dog-sitting experience (with a super cute Australian Labradoodle), and now I’m convinced this may be the most perfect first job for teens looking for a little extra cash. Don’t forget to check the pics to see the cute dog snaps I took!
