App of the Week: Receipt Hog.

Alright, let's talk about money saving apps!  There are so many out there!  Some are good and others, not so much.  The one I'm going to talk about today is amazing!  It's called Receipt Hog and it's available of the App Store.  I love this app because it's almost like a little game.  Basically what you do is upload your receipt to the hog and it gives you coins, tickets for the prize spinner, or drawing entries!  The more receipts you upload, the more coins you get.  After you have saved enough coins, you can redeem them for Amazon.com gift cards or PayPal credit!  I have been using Receipt Hog since November 2015 and am saving my coins to use on Amazon for Christmas gifts!  One downside to this app is that not every receipt will qualify, but those are few and far between for me.

Ever since we started budgeting our finances, I have been adamant about saving every receipt.  It helps me stay accountable to my budget and gives me a better idea of where my money is going. 
Since I started using this app, I have been able to keep even better track of my spending.  I save all of my receipts from the week, and then the following Monday, I scan them into Receipt Hog.  This helps me organize my budget more easily.  Plus it's fun to watch your hog get fatter!  At the end of the month, I can archive my receipts on the app so that I can have a fresh start for the new month.  I keep my paper receipts, however, because they come in handy at tax time!

I highly recommend Receipt Hog to anyone interested in organizing their budget as well as earning a little fun money!
