3 Apps That Reward You For Taking Pictures

Tired of hearing about Ibotta? Me too. When it comes to saving money (usually for travel), I always look for the quickest and easiest ways to be rewarded. It’s hard to get much easier than taking some quick pictures of your receipts, right? Ibotta serves its purpose, but it always took me far too much time to search for offers, and I didn't like having to earn $20 to cash out. I decided to test out some alternatives, and these three came out on top as far as earning the most with the least effort.

1. Fetch Rewards

Snap a picture of your grocery receipt in the app and it will assign your points based on what you bought (no need to search for offers!) Redeem the points for gift cards to Amazon, Sephora, Best Buy, Regal, Fandango, Xbox, Athleta, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more. No need to add offers before shopping; the app is smart enough to recognize based on your picture of the receipt.

2. Receipt Pal

Snap a picture of ANY receipt (doesn’t have to be from a grocery store) and once you fill up 4 boxes, you will earn 100 points. I like that this app has a wide range of redemption levels – you don’t have to bank a huge amount of points to redeem them. I've redeemed a bunch of Amazon gift cards from this one already. This also has an option to automatically credit you for any e-receipts you receive if you enter your email address.

3. Receipt Hog

This one also accepts receipts from any store. The rewards involve coins which you earn from receipts, taking surveys, and winning their slots game. The goal is to feed the Receipt Hog each week to earn more rewards. As you can see, the graphics are amusing.

What are your favorite apps for saving money?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
