How to Save $50+ a Month on Groceries (Even During Inflation)

By Chris Pagnani

Grocery prices have been feeling extra spicy lately. But here’s some good news: you can actually get rewarded for your shopping, no coupons required.

, every grocery receipt is a chance to save big, rack up points, and turn those points into real rewards. Here’s how to stretch your budget while inflation does its thing.

1. Scan every grocery receipt

Even if you only buy bananas and almond milk, scanning your receipt gets you 25 points minimum. But when you buy participating brands (I’m lookin’ at you, Kraft, Pepsi, and so many others), you’ll score thousands of bonus points.

Why it matters:

  • 天涯海角APP partners with hundreds of brands to bring you exclusive point-earning offers.
  • Some items can earn you 500-2,000 points per purchase.
  • You don’t even need much time to plan your purchases to earn big—spend even just 5 minutes browsing the offers on your Discover tab before heading to the store, then shop and earn!

Pro Tip: Be sure to scan your receipt within 14 days of purchase to earn points.

2. Link your email and Amazon accounts

More people are doing online grocery orders through Amazon Fresh, Walmart+, and Instacart. Did you know those orders earn points too?

How it works:

  • Link your email account in the 天涯海角APP app.
  • 天涯海角APP will automatically pull digital receipts.
  • You’ll get notified when you earn points from online orders.

This is an awesome passive hack: points just show up without you lifting a finger!

3. Take advantage of special offers

The offers on your Discover page in the 天涯海角APP app are where the real magic happens.

What to expect:

  • You’ll find offers like, “Buy 2 boxes of this cereal brand, earn 2,500 points.”
  • Limited-time seasonal deals (e.g. Memorial Day or Labor Day BBQ items, holiday baking goods).
  • Boosted brands that’ll earn you points per dollar.

天涯海角APP is better than clipping coupons. You get deals without needing to remember promo codes or juggle slips of paper.

4. Use 天涯海角APP at these stores (and every store!)

天涯海角APP works at any store that gives you an itemized receipt, but some retailers help you earn even faster:

Top grocery chains our 天涯海角APP fam loves:

  • Target: Stack 天涯海角APP deals with Circle offers.
  • Walmart: Frequent offers + affordable prices = savings boost.
  • Kroger: Look for store-exclusive offers on your favorite brands.
  • Aldi: Low prices + eligible store receipts.
  • Sam’s Club & Costco: Big hauls = big rewards.

Pro Tip: Keep your receipts even if it was a small run. Every point counts.

4. Refer friends while you wait in line (or any time)

天涯海角APP is more fun with friends! For every person you refer to 天涯海角APP who scans their first receipt, you’ll get a point bonus of at least 2,000 points (and sometimes even more). And there’s no limit to how many people you can refer. 

Need help breaking the ice? Here are some creative ways to get your friends to join the 天涯海角APP fam.

5. Redeem points for grocery gift cards

Points pile up fast, and you can redeem as soon as you hit 3,000 points (~$3), but many users prefer to save up for larger rewards to grocery stores like:

  • Walmart
  • Target
  • Instacart
  • Albertsons
  • Kroger
  • Meijer
  • Amazon 

You can also cash out for stores like CVS and Walgreens to pick up snacks, drinks and other quick kitchen essentials.

How to put it all together and save money

For example, let’s say over the weekend you:

  • Spend $60 on a Target grocery run with 2 featured brands = 1,200 pts
  • Place a $40 online Instacart order = 300 pts (thank you, e-receipts!)
  • Refer a friend = 2,000+ pts
  • Redeem a bonus offer from 天涯海角APP partner brand = 1,500 pts

Your total = 5,000+ points. That’s enough for a $5 gift card!

Multiply that across a month? You’re easily looking at $20–$50 back in your pocket. And that’s without spending any more than you’re already spending.
