As promised I am continuing my posts about apps that are for shopping. I really like the apps because they are very convenient. I just have to remember my phone and I can save. I am not saying that I don't still use coupons but apps can also be used with coupons and I generally do the worst shopping mistake and shop on a whim instead of being prepared.
For today's topic we will discuss the key ring app. I like this app because you can put all your savings cards in one place. Instead of having a million loyalty cards in your wallet you can put them all on your phone. In addition to this for some of the stores it will even tell you the savings that are going on for that store. You can even join other programs that may not have a card but that Key Ring has partnered with. It is very helpful in getting your savings at your favorite stores.
I have been using it for awhile now and it has been a life saver. Sometimes I have had to grab a set of spare keys or I am driving a different car and then I don't have my card. I may even just be going for a short trip so I don't grab my wallet and that means no card. It is very frustrating to lose points or discounts because I forgot it. Nothing like not getting the sales items because you forgot your card.
That is why this app is so great. It clears up your wallet space which is nice for putting other things in there and it makes it less bulky. That is a bonus in itself. One thing any body can use is more space and less clutter. I know I am happy that way. If you are a multiple loyalty card holder this is a must have.

Upsetting Day So Lets Talk Savings
So today did not go as planned at all. I was not able to get anything that I wanted to done so I am not very happy. I could not get on the site to finish my divorce papers so I was not able to go file. My cable was out and couldn't get it fixed so that was annoying. So today we are going to talk about savings and points apps. I am going to cover them over the next couple days.
For today we are going to talk about Shop Kicks. If you do not already know what this is, it is a phone app where you earn points for shopping and then redeem the points for awards. It is very easy. You just take your phone with you when shopping and it will alert you to the different kicks you can earn. You can earn kicks for just walking into a store or by scanning the specific merchandise.
So far my favorite place to get kicks from is Target. I have earned bonus boards there which is when you scan a full group of specified items. I also earned $2 to shop just for getting kicks and entering the store. They also have books as they are called. You can look through specific store to see the latest items they have. Some times for looking through the books you earn bonus kicks. They can be right then or some are issued the next time you go to that specific store. It is free and you are earning stuff from doing it.
The hardest part for me is when I am just running in and out of a store I some times forget my phone so I miss out on kicks. The good news though is that they are free so I am not losing anything by forgetting. It can be a little frustrating when you are so close to getting the level of points you want but that is the good thing, you can always earn more.
You can use it to make shopping fun for the kids. You can do the bonus boards as scavenger hunts and they can help. It will earn you kicks and it will keep them occupied helping to look for the items. I mean who couldn't use a way to entertain the kids while shopping. The bonus is you can earn free stuff doing it too.
The prizes are pretty good. They range from gift cards to merchandise, they even have it so if you earn enough points you can get a Vespa scooter. The nice thing about it is that you are already going shopping so why not get something back. If you are interested in trying it out http://get.shopkick.com/lithium12388

Weird Kind of Day
This is going to be a quick post for today. Nothing went as planned and I have so much to still get done. I woke up and things started good, then it got a little awkward. Then work was weird as well so that really threw me for a loop. The rest of the day did not go as planned either so nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. I just got home like 3 hours after I was supposed to and I still do not have my divorce papers and I wanted them to be ready to file tomorrow.
So it is the big day I finally start the process and I am not really sure how I feel now. I was sad and then I was ready and now I just want to get it started so I can be done with it. I have been married to him for the last eight years and never thought it would end. Even when he told me he had gotten a girlfriend when I thought we were going to be making things stronger. That my friend was a big shock. You think that you are going to make your marriage stronger and he tells you he has a girlfriend and does not want to be with you like that anymore. It was really hard. Especially now that he puts his girlfriend before you and your child.
He only seems to want to hang out with her when he wants and is very inflexible about weekends. I am just beyond the whole situation. I just want to get it done so that I can move forward with what is best for me and my daughter. It in no way will be easy but after a year I feel it is time. I really tried to work on it but he is unwilling so time to go.
