Tried and True Ways

I’ve been dabbling in a few things (namely phone apps) and I’m finally ready to fill all you in on my experience!

Ive spoken about the television and how I believe it can take up alot of room in our lives and in a deceptive way. I think the same goes for phones. So I don’t know if this is counter productive but if I’m gonna be twitchy and grab my phone when waiting or while I’m resting why not get paid for it. The scavenger hunt and free toilet paper is just a plus! 

Obviously being a family of seven; we aim to live within a budget (aka below our means). We want to enjoy the finer things in life without killing our pockets on small things (like eating out) lol. As we run a homestead; making or saving money is something worth celebrating. Can you keep good things to yourself? Anyways here are four  of my tried and true apps (with some honorable mentions) that have played a big part in my Christmas shopping or household in general.

1. InboxDollars

Inbox dollars is an app where you can get paid to do surveys, complete offers, watch videos, play little arcade games, and use its search engine. This isnt a get rich quick apps, the pay out is change at a time but it all adds up! 

Con: Cash out only after you make $30 and you are getting paid change at a time.

Pro:Change and dollars adds up and can still assist in lets say “Holiday shopping!!”

1. VeryDice–

Very dice is a fun dice game app! You get daily free dice rolls. With the points you can purchase prizes and I’m now excited to announce Verydice has started cashing out gift cards!! This app has helped me stock up on stocking stuffers and I just got in on another Amazon giftcard to add to my growing stockpile! If this is up your alley dont forget to use our friendcode to let them know ThoseGilligans sent you! To get an automatic 30 rolls to start with copy and paste our Friend Code: 1027445

Cons: I’ve been shorted a point before.. The only con I can think of.

Pro: No S&H charges, prizes, gift cards, its easy to get to high amount of points and its fun

1. ShopKick-

ShopKick is a fun one ive enjoyed for the past two years. So basically you get points for shopping (which you were already planning)  and scanning products (If you happen to buy something you scanned, you get points for that as well). With those points you get to cash out on giftcards to your chosen favorite spot. We chose Amazon because we use it so much. 

Cons: Sometimes their app crashes which can be frustrating when you are at a participating store

Pros: Youre getting points for walking into a store you needed to get to ANYWAYS (in ex; Wal-Mart, Targets, Giants, Aldi ect) And now they just added PayPal as a giftcard option. What are you waiting for?!?!

Before I get to my top pick here are Some other apps I use that I feel atleast fall under honorable mentions

Rakuten Ebates

Ibotta

FetchRewards- Get 2,000 points automatically when you use our referral code, 3YU57,

Rewards play

GigWalk 

Last but definitely not the least we have Dscout! 

Dscout has been a wonderful blessing when it comes to payouts! Within two and a half months I’ve made alittle over $500! Im not counting free product either. It’s basically a video research platform that helps others better understand the experiences people have with their products and brands in everyday life by  answering question, participated in video diaries, and even trying new product. (I got to try the softest free toilet paper and I got paid for it!)

Cons: Maybe you’re not comfortable infront of a camera? Some of their studies require selfie style video submission

Pro: Their payout method is PayPal which means,  quick and simple. And you can make alot in a small amount of time.  Yeah, you’re welcome
