This is very easy to use! You set up a username and password at the savings catcher website. Each time you shop, you take your receipt and either enter it online (see the middle left in the picture) or scan it if your phone is capable. Then Walmart does the rest of the work as they search online for every sale at major retailers. After they compare the deals they refund you the difference on any deals that you would have received at other stores!! You see in the middle right of the picture this person saved 70 cents and has a total of 5.60 thus far. This is why you should start early. I spend about 50 dollars a week on food, and usually save between 50 cents and 4 dollars. I'm extremely lucky to have such a low monthly bill, but I imagine many of you spend several times that. I've only been using the system for just over 3 months and have 50 dollars. By Christmas I expect to have about 150 dollars. So it doesn't seem like much, but it adds up and many of you could have several hundred dollars by then! When you are ready you can either shop online with that amount or they can mail you a gift card.
There are a variety of ways to look at this money. You could consider this a really slow layaway plan where you increase your savings about a few dollars per week. But this is money that you've already spent on weekly necessities, which is then refunded to you, so it sure feels like free money. This means that you can shop for Legos and get far better deals than anything you'll see on Black Friday, and you can do it any time during your holiday shopping without facing the crowds, or possibly leaving your home!!!!
Of course this deal only works if you shop at Walmart, and it seems to apply mostly to food items. But if you start early, already or don't mind food shopping at Walmart, you can have a rather nice amount to do your Christmas shopping by the end of the year. Good luck ninjas!
