Saving money on purchases using ibotta app and boxed wholesale.

1.    Download cash back app in your smartphone. My favorite app is ibotta and it is probably the best one right now. It includes cash back on grocery and other items as well as bonus cash back frequently. I tried checkout 51 but didn't like it.

Get $10 bonus when you sign up with any of these referral code:   qmofbtg
                                                                       urlayht


2.   Boxed.com gives $15 off your purchase of $60 or more if you sign up using any referral link. My referral links are    http://www.boxed.com/invite/STR15
                              http://www.boxed.com/invite/ZJP11 

You can use the second one if the first link doesn't work. It gives you free shipping on this purchase.
  
Ibotta gives upto 20% cash back if you buy at boxed.com through ibotta app.
You can first download ibotta app and then download and sign up boxed app through the ibotta app and make your purchase

3.   To save more, use american express to pay at boxed.com to get a one time statement credit of $20. But remember to link the card to boxed.com first.


Note: Boxed.com has a limited selection of items and some are overpriced so make sure you buy those which are of regular price. I bought two jumbo rolls of scott 1000 bath tissue, 36 rolls each, total 72 rolls and olay moisturising bath soap 14 count.

     2 Scott1000  cost 23.99 each........................ = $48.00  (aprox.)
     1 Olay bar soap..............................................= $14.00 (aprox.)

                                                                   Total  =   $62.00 +tax
My savings:
  $15 off my first purchase
  15% cash back on ibotta app
  $20 back as statement credit
  Free shipping

In addition to this, refer friends and family to boxed.com to get $15 for each person who makes their first purchase. Refer to ibotta app and you get $5 while your friend gets $10 sign up bonus after redeeming their first rebate.

Ways To Make Money From Home

There are are different ways to make small amount of money sitting at home. These ways help you make some extra pocket money. If you don't have a job, you can do these because earning something is better than earning nothing at all.

1. Surveys: I have given the list of best survey websites in my other post.

2. Focus groups: If you are a regular survay doer, you occasionally get invitations for focus groups, interactive sessions or for joining some other new panels as well. 


3. Online tutoring


4. Language interpretation by phone if you are bilingual


5. Making websites and blogs and sharing your views


6. Selling stuffs online like on ebay, amazon etc. Handmade items can be sold at etsy.com.

7. Selling your photos in websites like shutterstock.com, fotolia.com, etc.

8. Writing as a freelancer

If you have some money, you can even try stocks and options. If you don't have experience, don't worry.  You can sign up for free virtual trading accounts and learn by buying and selling stocks and options. Later if you are confident, you can do the real money trading and investing.

List of Legit Survey Websites

From my own experience, I have found various legit survey websites that actually pay. Payment can be by different ways such as paypal, amazon gift card, cheque, etc.  You have to choose the method you like the most. All of these are free to join. Usually one person per household can sign up for these websites. If you want to sign up, just make sure to make a new email address so that your active email address will not be loaded with too many emails.   These are my favorite sites.

1. Opinion Outpost: Payment is variable depending upon the length of survey. You are usually paid $.50 to $3 and up in some surveys. Surveys are sent frequently. They give Opinion Points. 10 O.P.= $1. Once you make 50 O.P., you can redeem a 5$ Amazon gift card and when yo make 100 O.P., you can redeem 10$ in paypal.

2. Pinecone Research: It pays $3 for every survey and you can immediately redeem it. It even sends you products for tests if you agree to test. Surveys are sent once in a while. You have to find the banner or sign up ads for signing it. They don't always recruit new people so you have to keep on trying.

3. Product Report Card: It is my another favorite. It sends surveys in your email and also sends focus group qualifying surveys regularly. 

4. Valued Opinion: Payments usually range from $1 to $3 and more in some case for a survey.

5. Ipoll: It has many surveys available. You have different options to redeem for different amount. You can redeem for magazine subscriptions and other worthless items if you want to redeem small amount like 10-15 dollars. I don't like the fact that you have to do $25 or more worth of surveys to redeem for something worthwhile. I am not sure whether it is $25 or $50 dollars for redeeming through paypal. If you rush while doing surveys, they discontinue your account.

There are also some other survey websites that are legit and will pay you.

1. Global Test Market: They have many surveys. You have to do $50 worth of surveys to redeem it.

2. My Survey: Usually I don't find the payment worth the time but sometimes it gives you surveys related to weekly or monthly diaries to be filled on various topics for which you get paid huge amount such as $40, $75, etc.

3. Toluna: It has many surveys available but I personally don't find most surveys worth the time spent. And the amount needed to redeem is also more . 

4. My view: I found the pay is not worth the time. But it is legit and pays you.

5. Survey Spot: It has similar surveys as in opinion outpost but payment is usually half compared to it. I don't find it worth my time.
