June is a time for graduations, weddings, Father’s Day, and Summer fun. Even though prices are HIGH and coupons are TERRIBLE, there are still places to save money no matter how you shop; in-store or online. You just have to know where to look! One of the easiest places is Ibotta. Not your traditional method (with cut-out coupons). There’s no clipping! All you need an cell phone with a camera or you can add your store’s loyalty card to your account and Ibotta will do all the work for you automatically. Ibotta is a fun and easy way to earn cash each time you go to the store. When you place the app on your phone Ibotta you’ll find your earnings add up very quickly. Before shopping, choose your favorite products from your favorite stores from the offered selections (these constantly change). The more you choose and buy, the more cash you’ll earn. You can buy your chosen products at all of the top retailers online or in-store. Choose from Target, Walmart, CVS, Shop Rite, Stop & Shop, Acme, and all your of your other favorite stores.

6-18 is known as National Splurge Day, and it’s typically a day that’s framed as one to treat yourself. (I like this!!!) But even though it’s a holiday that may be gaining a bit of popularity, it’s not widespread enough for retailers to be offering Splurge Day sales. You can still take advantage of the day, though! Look for unexpected sales at your favorite retailers.

Enjoy rosé wine to kick off the summer. 

Swimwear is the rare exception to consider buying even though this is when most of us need them most. They are at discount prices because stores want a quick turnover and not to have excess inventory. Swim instructors suggests staying away from BLUE swimsuits, especially for children, because they can be hard to see in pools and the environment in cases of emergency.

Cookware deals will be plentiful for brides and grooms as wells as those college grads that will be settling in to their own place. Blenders are probably the best price of the year.
