I’m not using these rewards to cut our grocery budget drastically. Instead I’m using them to tuck away a little bit here and there for buying items that are already on my list so we have some extra cash for fun splurges or Christmas and birthday gifts. Again, it’s not going to put mega bucks in your pocket, but if you are already shopping, what does it hurt to spend a few minutes uploading your receipt to a few places to earn some pocket change?
What does your email inbox look like? Do you read each and every single one and keep your inbox meticulously clear or do you tend to delete multiple emails each day and often let loads of unread emails pile up?
