My Referral Links
Rakuten
I can’t say enough about Rakuten. If you aren’t using some kind of cash back app or program, let me just say you should be. Your finances are totally not my business, but there are opportunities out there for you to get free money and I think you should because when in life do we ever get free money?! (The past two years aside I suppose…but was that really free…whoops did I say that out loud?)
Rakuten works on your computer and phone to get you cashback at over 3,500 stores including Target, Hilton, Walmart, Instacart, Minted (see below!), CVS, Macy’s, QVC, Sephora, Ulta, Chewy, Petsmart, and the list goes on and on. You install the plugin on your computer and activate it when you’re shopping at a partnering store’s website – the plugin even flashes red when there’s a deal available to help you avoid missing cash back offers!
Rakuten also does cash back at tons of restaurants where you just have to activate the offers once and link a card, then when you use the card at the restaurant you automatically get cash back. In my opinion it’s a no brainer, but that’s just me!
$40 when you spend $40 (just activate Rakuten the next time you shop online!)
Hello Fresh
We’ve had a ton of fun with Hello Fresh this last year. We got a few boxes in Myrtle Beach and I had tried them before in Canada also. Check out my blog post with our favourite Hello Fresh recipes!
Our all-time favourite Hello Fresh recipe that I’ve made at least half a dozen times is their Caprese Pizza!

Thrive Market
We have had a great time using Thrive for at least half (probably more) of our groceries! We recently decided to go pretty exclusively organic and they’ve been incredibly helpful with that. Their price-matching feature is great!
Perfect Supplements
We are in love with this company; they are so upfront about their practices making all of their products and they make some amazing products. They are an all organic supplements & vitamins company who prioritize your health as well as the health of the planet!

Minted
We love Minted so much! Their customer service is great and they have such a variety of incredible products. We got our wedding invitations from Minted, 2021 & 2022’s Christmas cards, and some personalized gifts!
If you’re going to use Minted for wedding invitations and/or Christmas cards, I highly recommend signing up for their Minted More program. It’s $40, but the rewards that you get from the higher discounts you have access to by being a Minted More member far outweighs the initial cost. For example, this year we saved $80 on our Christmas cards alone because of our Minted More membership. On top of that, they send you a gift box full of gorgeous and useful things like cards & wrapping paper!

Drop
Rakuten is probably the most straightforward Cash Back app/program that we use, but so far Drop has gotten us the most money back. A big part of that is that they offer cash back on Amazon orders (!!!) which unfortunately, Rakuten no longer does.
It’s a little more gimicky with games you can play and surveys you can do for cash back, but we mainly use it to link to one of our credit cards. Then when we activate that weeks offers and use our card (you don’t even have to go through the drop app for many offers) you automatically get points which translates to dollars.
The other significant limitation of Drop is that it’s not straight cash back like Rakuten, rather gift cards. There are plenty of gift card options that work for us though (Starbucks, Walmart, Target, Sephora, Ulta, Dunkin’s, Lululemon, etc.).
NOTE: when you use the link the promotion will automatically apply, even if it doesn’t look like it is!
$10 (10,000 points) when you sign up
Ovry
If you’re like me and think that you’re somehow pregnant every month even when it’s unlikely, finding a more affordable pregnancy test option is incredibly important. (PSA I’m not advocating for being as obsessive as me & taking tests every month). I love Ovry’s ovulation and pregnancy tests so much. They’re super straightforward, very sensitive (I can only speak to that for the ovulation tests I suppose) and AFFORDABLE.
I am so disappointed that they only ship to Canada, so this is really a recommendation for all my Canadian gals, but I had to include them because they’re great. I actually had them ship to a friend’s house on our most recent trip to MTL so I could stock up!
Winc
Dan & I tried Winc in Myrtle Beach and loved it! Their customer service is amazing and it’s a fun way to try out new delicious wines. Our all-time favourite that we had added to our box multiple times was Folly of the Beast Pinot Noir!

Dime
I have been using Dime products for over a year now, and I have never been happier with my skin! I started with their eyelash serum (which is amazing!) and have slowly built up to regularly using Dime for all of my skin care. The Works package is a great way to get started if you want to try all the basics!
