If you’re in college, chances are you probably don’t have the most expendable income. Your part-time student job or tutoring gig allows you to make just enough to buy gas, get some groceries, and maybe enjoy a $7 drink from Starbucks once a week.

What if I told you that there are many ways to take the money you’re already going to spend on those purchases one step further? In this day and age, rewards and cashback programs are popular and growing, and for good reason. In this article, I’ll be going over a multitude of free and easy-to-use apps that every college student should have on their phone in order to keep their finances in check and make their money work for them just a little bit more.

It’s as Easy as Snap and Scan!

The first app recommendation is Fetch Rewards. Fetch is a free shopping app that allows users to accrue points when they snap a picture of their receipts. Sounds too good to be true. It gets even better! For every receipt you scan you earn a minimum of 25 points or up to 1,000+. You then can use these points to redeem for gift cards available through the app!

You can scan receipts from just about any business and the app even has an option to submit your e-receipts! So, always remember to ask for your receipt when checking out somewhere or take a screenshot of your online receipts; it’s free money!

The Fetch Rewards is available for Apple and Android devices.

For the Frequent Online Shoppers

If you’re someone who enjoys shopping online, then you need this app. The first is Honey. Honey is a free browser extension that takes the work out of finding coupon codes. Simply download the app to your preferred browser (available for Safari and Google Chrome) and let Honey do the work!

As you’re getting ready to check out online, make sure your honey extension is active, and it’ll search the web to find coupon codes in seconds and automatically check to see if they’re active and working so you don’t have to!

Honey takes the hassle out of trying to find coupon codes at checkout and makes sure you’re getting the best deal out there.

Honey also has a feature where you can save items online to your “drop list” where Honey will automatically track an item’s price and notify you when it goes on sale!

Lastly, you can earn what are called “Honey Gold” points every time you shop using the browser extension. These points accumulate and can be redeemed for gift cards and cash!

Can’t Forget to Budget!

So, you now have two apps that can help you save money on and offline, but don’t let the deals go to your head! Just because something goes on sale, or you can earn points for it doesn’t mean you should buy it.
