Did not know this. Thank you for the information
You’re welcome.
I have used them in fast foods and grocery stores, but will have to check for more. I love to save.
I guess I need to get with the program then. I didn’t know fast food places had them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This was a lot of great information. Thank you. Great post!
You’re welcome!
My 92 year old Mom was just mentioning the other day that she is seriously thinking about buying a smart phone (not–I do not have one!!)–she is also a bargain shopper. Id she does get one which is very likely I will immediately tell her about these codes–She is all about saving money!!
That’s so cute Michele! I just love that she’s 92yo and is open to a smart phone! Make sure if she gets one – that it has enough memory on it. I use Virgin Custom (I only pay for what I need – literally), but the phone doesn’t have enough space. I just deleted Savings Star and Ibotta because I wanted an anti-virus on it. For whatever reason, the phone wouldn’t let me put those on external memory. I was so bummed!
I find QR codes annoying to try to use, mainly because I never seem to be able to get my phone to read them. I didn’t know they could be used for discounts though. Maybe I will give them another shot!
I had no idea either Emily. I love savings – so we’ll learn together.
i wished i had a smart phone–i could use it for this….maybe someday soon
One never knows Randy. I held out as long as I could before going to a smart phone. They’re nice for the money saving apps but the rest I could pretty much do without.
