Keeping track of your receipts and expenses can pay off, literally. You can either scan your receipts on Ibotta or Checkout51 from your grocery shopping trips, gas station trips, restaurant and bar outings, or your shopping sprees. You can even use Ibotta for a number of online shopping ventures as well.
Use a rewards card.
Using rewards cards gets you some great savings! Now that everyone is offering them, no matter where you shop, why not get in on the action because paying full price is just throwing away your money these days.
With the Amazon Prime Rewards Card I get so much cash back every month. That is why this is the only credit card I will allow myself to have. I get so much cash back with it that any purchase I make on Amazon is free most of the time! With the Amazon Prime Rewards Card you can get 1%-5% back on purchases, depending on where you make the purchase. You get 5% back if the purchase is at amazon.com, 3% back if the purchase is at restaurants, gas stations and drug stores and 1% back on all other purchases.
Become a host on Airbnb.
If you have the extra space, list rooms to book in Airbnb, You can easily list rooms in good conditions and good locations for $100 a night, especially in places like New Orleans, LA.
Become a part time Uber driver.
You can drive with Uber for a couple hours, whenever you can fit in your day. Since you will already be with your own car, swinging by here and there to pick others up for money isn’t much of a hassle. The app does all the work for you with payments thanks to PayPal so it is pretty ‘plug and play’. Just be weary of drunkards and people that are unreliable when you go to pick them up, use your common sense. The app, however, let you rate your passengers, just as it lets the passengers rate you. After you are rated poorly too many times in a row, You will be banned from Uber. This way, it is less likely that the app becomes unsafe for anyone.
Sell your old stuff on eBay or Amazon.
Ebay and Amazon have become a popular choice for reselling items online. It has become the ‘norm’ if you will. My wife sells guitars on Ebay and makes $200 or more on each guitar. She sells about 2-4 a month, some months even more, which averages out to be an extra $1,000 a month!
Sell your old electronics.
Ebay Valet or Amazon Trade-in are great for getting rid of old cell phones. There are other apps and sites that can help you get rid of the rest of your old electronics. You will get the most money for your old electronics from sites such as Decluttr and Gazelle.
