It has been over a decade since we started our adoption journey. We have saved, budgeted and changed life habits on a regular basis over the years depending on our current situation. We have been in perpetual adoption processes for 90% of the time over the last decade. It's been one helluva ride. We have had far more lows than highs, but nevertheless we persist. Growing our family through adoption has always been our desire and what we felt like we were meant to do. Over the years we have questioned this, especially with the loss of both of the sons we tried to bring into our family forever.
But we remain passionate about the orphan crisis. I have worked over the years to help families fundraise via my doTERRA business. I love that I get to teach families about natural wellness and help to bring hope and healing into their homes AND offer a way to have a successful fundraiser by offering the same to their friends and families.
I have started to make a list of the free apps that we have used over the years. Some are just great to find amazing savings (cuz every lit bit counts!). Some offer rebates back on things you purchase, referral bonuses for sharing with friends, and some are just opportunities to enter sweepstakes, often including cold hard cash. These are definitely not going to make you rich, but when you're in the trenches of adoption, every penny counts. If you can save and/or earn a bit back on your regular shopping trips, it's worth it right??
Ebates has been relatively new to us, but so far we've been able to earn back more than $70 just shopping online for the stuff we normally shop for!
Referral bonus of $5 after qualified purchase, but right now, if you refer only TWO friends, you can be entered into a cruise AND get a bonus of $50. Click here to join: https://www.ebates.com/r/SJESAN3

Ibotta is a free shopping app that works at a ton of stores! I use this one every week, and love to double up at places like Target using the Cartwheel app! Periodically you can link to place like Groupon and get the big savings there + a percent back from Ibotta! Double dipping is my favorite!
You get $10 just for signing up. Referral bonus of $5 per share, but right now if you refer only TEN friends, you will earn $100! Click here to join: https://ibotta.com/r/iblwvaa

Groupon is a great app/website to get really awesome deals on stuff. This week I went on my eBates account and linked to Groupon so I double dipped and got super duper savings! Sometimes you can also link from Ibotta!
