The other day I mentioned just some of the Apps that you can use in order to save yourself a little extra money. I want to dive deeper into talking about Apps by showing you an example of how you can save specifically on one area with those apps and that’s Produce!
I am personally more of a visual person myself. People can tell me things and it may not click but give me examples and a visual and it sinks in. That is what I had in mind with this post. So here we go with an example of savings I picked up this week and what Apps I used:
Earthbound Farms Organic Salad Mixes $2.99 – Bought 2
* Saved $2.99 with BOGO sale
* Saved $1/2 with Meijer Salad Coupon from mPerks App
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Lettuce Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $1.69 for 2 or $.85 each
Fresh Green Beans – 12 oz Steamer Bag $2.99
* Saved $2 with in-store sale
* Saved 5% Off with Target Cartwheel App
FINAL PRICE = $.94
Fresh Broccoli – 12 oz Steamer Bag $2.49
* Saved $1.50 with in-store sale
* Saved 5% Off with Target Cartwheel App
FINAL PRICE = $.94
Bananas $.39 sale price – Bought 1.5 lbs for $.58
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Bananas Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $.28
Apples – 1lb. $.66 sale price
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Apples Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $.36
Organic Carrot Chips $1.79, regular price
* Earned $.25 via Checkout 51 App
FINAL PRICE = $1.54
Potatoes 5lb $2.99 – BOGO Sale w/ 3lb Onions
* Saved $1.99 w/ BOGO sale
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Onions Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $2.69 for all 8 lbs.
NOTE: I thought I’d earn 20% Off with Saving Star but it was for loose onions and not bagged. So make sure you read all details on the Apps! There’s a good chance it might have been zero since technically the onions were free but sometimes they’ll count that as a store discount and give you 20% Off the price, which would have been another $.40.
Clementines $4.99
* Saved $1.50 with sale price
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Clementines Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $3.69 for 3lbs.
Squash $1.76 for 1.5 lbs.
* Earned $.30 via MobiSave for Squash Purchase
FINAL PRICE = $1.46
(In case you’ve never tried it, Spaghetti Squash works great as a side dish mixed with sauce. There are also so many stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipes online if you are looking for another option.)
Oddly enough, Ibotta didn’t have any produce offers for me this week. They usually have 3-4 of them. Thankfully MobiSave added several new ones. Combining the use of several Apps will make sure you get the most savings each week on produce that you will actually use. As you can see from my examples, I also tried to look for produce that was on sale to combine with the App savings.
In this particular trip, I spent $13.59 for the veggies/fruit pictured. You’ll notice several of them are Organic, as well. In the end, I have about 18 lbs of food to use, making it around $.76 lb. While on this trip, I also earned myself 200 Shopkicks (getting me partway to that $2 giftcard.) , I earned extra coins on Receipt Hog, and I also accumulated more money towards the $175 threshold to earn $6 through the Meijer mPerks App. Every little bit will add up over time.
I’m hoping this post will help encourage you to try some Apps to help you save money on Produce this week! Stay tuned as I have several more posts coming on ways to save on produce! We’ll get your fruit and veggie crisper drawers full in your fridge before we are done!!
