Download user-friendly apps specifically designed to help you save money on food. Grocery shopping is a routine part of life, but it doesn’t have to be brutal on your wallet.

The Deets: Ibotta and Checkout 51 earn you cash back while SavingStar gets you automatic rebates. Key Ring keeps all your loyalty cards in one place, and Shopkick lets you rack up points in exchange for gift cards. And for those who actually like going to the grocery store, you can make extra money with Instacart as a personal shopper for others.

The Bottom Line: Buying food each week doesn’t have to drain your budget. In fact, it can tip the scales the opposite way when you use these smart saving apps. And that’s the kind of shopping we can get behind! [Swirled]
