If you just toss your receipts in the trash without looking at them closely, you could be tossing out free stuff and discounts!
A trend I’ve taken full advantage of is the receipt survey. Usually printed at the bottom of your receipt is a claim code and offer, and all you need to do is go to a website and answer some questions about your visit.
Which Receipts Have Free Stuff?
Examples of recent receipt bonuses I’ve claimed: $5 off groceries at Winn-Dixie, free sandwich at Chick-Fil-A and a free Whopper at Burger King.
It takes less than 5 minutes and earns you an average of $5-$10 either in discounts or free stuff. It’s totally worth it if you go to that particular place all the time anyway.
So, check those receipts! I’ve noticed they aren’t always printed on every receipt. I get one maybe every other visit though, so the odds are pretty good!
Receipt Advertising
As a side note, I know barely anybody looks at the backs of their receipts because I once tried advertising my boutique on the receipts at Winn-Dixie.
I did it for three months, with a full color photo and 15% discount on any item in the store. I had one person come in and they didn’t even buy anything!
So unfortunately, it was a total waste, but it did get me looking at my own receipts at least!

In Britain you get a lot if vouchers but I often forget to keep them in mind as I shop in different places. But it would be a good habit to develop. My grandmother used to do that and saved a ton.
That’s the other half of it – remembering to bring the voucher in when you are back in the shop! I do that too, so I started stashing them in the baby bag. I always have that on me, lol.
I stash them in the wallet and still forget ;-). Must be my age. The big five zero is arriving in two years 🙂
Noodles always has free stuff too but I never remember to use them or they expire before my next visit.
