APPS TO KNOW ABOUT


APPS TO KNOW ABOUT


This month we are going to suggest some apps that might be helpful with your grocery shopping.  It could be that you don’t have time to go shopping but need to buy some food. If you are not feeling well then you could have it delivered to your home.  Maybe you just hate shopping all together.  Well, we are not only going to suggest some apps that you can have your groceries delivered but maybe save you some money.  We even have other apps that will deliver food to you from your local restaurants.

Let’s start with the apps that will help you find out what stores have the best deals in your area.  One of them is Flipp. This app has most of your weekly ads that you usually find in your Sunday newspapers.  It is not only tells about the good deals in your neighborhood but lets you create a shopping list.


The app Out of Milk helps not only helps you create a shopping list but can keep track of when you already have in your home and what you paid for them in the past.  This apps also has the weekly ads from the stores in your area.


Next are the apps that will help you save some money.  First is the apps that you will get cash back just by redeeming products that you buy at your local stores or online.  This money can go straight into your Paypal or Venmo account.  If you don’t have either of those then they will send you some gift cards to spend at those same stores. It is similar to a coupon the only difference is you don’t have to cut them out from the newspaper. You just scan your receipt and product’s UPC code. 



Most stores have apps too. These apps not only have digital coupons but connect you to their curbside or instore pickup or home delivery service. They can even help find items that are located in the store. Now if you don’t want to download the app to your phone you can just go to their website and do the same thing as you would on the app.

Kroger or Ralphs apps have digital coupons, Clicklist (their curbside delivery) and delivery through InstaCart.


Safeway, Vons apps also has digital coupons, drive up and go and delivery. Alberstons which is apart of the Safeway company does have home delivery but it is through Instacart.


Sprouts is similar to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.  They have delivery is through Instacart.  Their app does have digital coupons.


If you can’t afford to join Costco or  Sam’s Club you can always shop at Smart and Final. It is the same type of store but you do not need a membership card.  They now have an app.  On their app are digital coupons. Their home delivery is through Instacart.


Target's coupons are called Cartwheel and when you check out give your phone to the cashier so they can scan the barcode on their app.  You can also order items online and pick it up in the store.  This is better than having it delivered by mail. You don’t have to worry about your packages being stolen.


Walmart has their Savings Catcher program. This is their price matching program. How it works is that when you come home from your store you scan your Walmart receipt. If they find an item that is cheaper somewhere else they will give you an eGift Card.  Walmart now has a grocery delivery service as well as a pick up service.  Check with the website to see which stores in your area offer this.


Amazon now has grocery delivery but not in areas.  Check on the website to see if it is in your area.


Here is a list of some other grocery delivery services.



Then there are those delivery services that will bring you food from restaurants.




You may use Yelp to check out reviews of places you want to go but did you know you can also use it to order food?


Don’t forget to follow your favorite stores on social media.  They sometimes put coupons for extra saving on the sites.  Make sure it is the verified social media page.  To find them just go to their official websites and follow the link to their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Summer Camp Care Packages Tips

Some Tips on What to Send for a Summer Camp Care Package



If you have a child, who is away at summer sleepaway camp you might want to send them something to keep them busy during the quiet time at camp.  

(1.) Check the rules of the camp.  Some camps might not allow anyone to receive packages.  Check their website or just call them.  They also might have certain items you can and cannot send in the package.

(2.) Do not send food to a sleepaway camp.  Most camps do not permit this.  They do not want the bunks to get dirty or create an atmosphere for unwanted critters.

(3.) Send something the whole bunk can enjoy.  This way your child can share with the other children.  There  maybe someone in the group who doesn’t get anything from home.  You can send MadLibs or Playing Cards.  If you send playing cards why not get a book that explains the rules for different card games.  Sticker or fake Tattoos would be good but again check with the camp to see if these items are allowed.  Some camps might not allow stickers at camp because they don’t want the camper to put them on their bunks or anywhere else at camp.

(5.) All types of books are the best thing to send.  You can send paperback books but not only from their school’s summer reading list but how about a book that is just fun to read.  Comic books are great to include in the package.  Send coloring books with crayons. You can include word search or crossword puzzles with a pen.

(6.) Include stationary with self-address stamped envelopes.  This way you might be assured a letter for the child.  Include an envelope with their grandparents’ address too.  It is always nice that they say hi to them.

(7.) Less is best.  You do not need to send a big care package. There isn’t much room in the bunks at camp so don’t send a lot of stuff.

(8.) Make sure to put your name and address on the package.  The camp will not accept unmarked packages.  They will be sent back to the post office.  Before you send it write your name and address on the package itself.

(9.) If you have a child who either goes to day camp or didn’t go to any camp then you can still give them a package at home.  It will keep them busy all summer.

(10.) There are companies that sell care packages.  You can find them on Amazon.com. Walmart also has packages that you can send just look on their website.  There is also this company called Beyond Bookmarks that you can buy the care packages from.

Craft Day, Soup and Grilled Cheese


Sometime in the winter it is hard to get out of you house and that can be frustrating or boring.  How about having a good old fashion craft day. Crafting is actually great anytime of year. The craft we chose to show you is really simple. It is painting a vase.  We do not mean you paint any expensive vases you may have in your home. We are talking about the cheaper vases you buy at a craft store like Michaels, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby or even Walmart. Here are the instructions on how to do this project.

Soup is a great thing to eat on a cold winter day to warm you up.  You may enjoy Tomato Soup or Minestrone Soup  in the winter.  You also might enjoy Grilled Cheese to go along with the soup. If you can’t eat cheese then make some Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits to go along with the soup. They are perfect for dipping.

Happy Crafting!!!
