Have you all signed up for Receipt Hog yet?  It’s a new mobile app that pays cash for snapping pictures of grocery receipts – just one more way to save money on groceries!

Simply snap a photo of your qualifying grocery store receipt, and you’ll be rewarded coins. The more receipts you upload, the higher the level you’ll reach and the more coins you’ll earn per receipt.

What I love about Receipt Hog is that it works with any store where you purchase groceries (including drugstores and pet stores) and it doesn’t matter what you buy.  Just snap your receipt, and you’re done! At select times, you may also be asked to complete a short survey, which will earn you additional coins.

Note:  Receipt Hog allows you to submit receipts for up to seven days after purchase, so be sure to upload them before it is too late.

Click here to download the free Receipt Hog app. (Works with Apple or Android phones or tablets.)

My all-time survey company is again accepting applicants!

Register to join the Pinecone Panel for an opportunity to evaluate new product ideas in the comfort of your own home and earn cash rewards for your opinions.

There is a new points rewards sytem, however you can still opt to use your points to redeem for PayPal cash, check or to be added to a Debit card and they are still offering $3 per survey.  You will have the option to redeem your points for merchandise or to cash out after completion of one study or to save the points to redeem a larger item from the website.  You can check out more about the new system here.

My husband has participated in the panel and we have always been impressed with how quickly they compensated him after a survey.  We also were given the opportunity to be product testers and were paid $3 for completing a survey about our experience.

Note: They are accepting a limited number of applicants in certain demographics.  Let me know if you are accepted!

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, be sure to apply today!
