A Triple Whammy at Schnucks

You know I love saving money wherever I can—and making money too. And even though it is not entirely true that I am necessarily saving anything, let alone making anything on certain shopping trips, it kind of feels like it. For one thing, when I shop at Schnuck's I use the Schnuck's reward program, and as of right now I have just under $70 available to use. I am waiting for a big sale there (since Schnuck's is typically high) to use them—although I can use them in smaller chunks if I so choose. Discover is currently paying 5% cash back on grocery stores, so I can add that savings on top of my Schnuck's rewards. PLUS, I use the Upside ap, and Schnuck's is always offering something there. This time 4% back. So, all said, from a 54.28 purchase, I get 51 cents from Schnuck's rewards, $2.74 from Discover cash back and $2.04 from Upside, for a total triple whammy reward of $5.29. Not bad for a days work, hey?

Hubby uses Upside for gasoline. I didn't know you can use it for groceries too. Your savings are not bad at all.

@porwest I will let hubby know about the restaurant thing. We always like to try new places. Maybe there’s something in that app we haven’t been to.

@lovebuglena There may be. A lot of lesser-known standalone restaurants use the app to drive traffic into their restaurants.

Oh for sure. So long as you have a local grocery store that is offering something on the app. But it often has offers from restaurants too.

A saving is still a saving big or small. I think that's still a great save!!

I will never pass up savings wherever I can find them. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Interesting. Is Upside the one that pays rewards for getting gas? Have a good weekend.

Yep. That would be the one. But it also has offers on grocery stores and restaurants.

That's a good rebate. I'm interested in discovers cash back card. I just got half off on Uber eats and about 68.00 of groceries from target for 34.00

I have been using Discover for decades. I have never been disappointed. You just have to make sure to never keep a balance otherwise the cash back isn't worth it.
