Saving
money on groceries is a REALLY popular topic. It seems like some
expenses are just too "fixed" to try to reduce (It's really hard to
reduce a mortgage payment one month!), but groceries are somewhat
flexible for most people. While you can occasionally find coupons for groceries in Israel (go ahead, click and see if there are any you can use!), I find they are not nearly as common as they were when I lived in America, and they are definitely not as "high value".
In order to stretch my grocery budget a little bit further, I use Snap In
in addition to the few coupons I find, the sug bet rack, and searching
for discounts and deals (and of course, cooking from scratch!), as well as planning ahead.
As I've explained previously, Snap In is a rebate program. You buy a product, scan your receipt, and Snap In will give you a rebate. (They credit your account and then send you a payment when you accrue 100 shekels in credit.)
So far, I'm happy with Snap In.
They pay directly into my bank account, and they're very user friendly.
If ever there's a question about a rebate, they are quite responsive.
I find
the best way to use their program is to take them up on "Free Offers"
(who doesn't like free food?) and also use their rebates to help decide which brand to buy. So, if a particular product will give me a 5 shekel rebate via Snap In,
but its competitor is 1 shekel less, I may decide to buy the one that
comes out cheaper after rebate. This is only good if you actually can
afford to wait for the rebate, obviously. Each person will have to make
that decision for him/herself (I know it's not always feasible - I've
been there!).
Rebates are lised on SnapIn's website, and they do change from time to time.
If you
haven't tried it out, give it a try! If you've signed up already but
haven't yet tried uploading a receipt, go ahead and give it a try! It's
really not hard and you may find yourself getting rebates!
Note: upload your receipts as soon as possible, and definitely within the 30 day limit. If you're using Snap.In's mobile app, getting rebates as easy as snapping a picture! It takes me almost no time at all, and I've gotten a couple of hundred shekels from them since I joined! What are you waiting for? Join today!
Let me know if you use SnapIn, I'd love to hear what you think!

UPDATE: I recently started using Snap.In's mobile app, and it REALLY makes getting rebates as easy as snapping a picture! It takes me almost no time at all, and I've gotten a couple of hundred shekels from them since I joined! What are you waiting for? Join today!
I'm sure you've heard some chatter about SnapIn. And if you haven't I'll fill you in right now.
SnapIn is a new program that offers rebates to consumers in Israel. But you don't have to fill out any rebate forms or clip any "proof of purchase" labels! That makes it an amazing way to save some money! (Especially now that supermarket coupons seem to have disappeared.)
I'll explain how it works:
Instead of clipping coupons and then trying to be sure you remember to use it before it expires at the magic store that accepts it, with SnapIn you shop as usual, at any store you like - the supermarket, health food store, makolet...
After you shop, you take a picture of your receipt and upload it to SnapIn using their handy upload apps for your smartphone or PC (or you can send it by email). Please be sure to upload your receipts no later than 30 days after the purchase!
If you bought an item that qualifies for a rebate, they will credit your account!
When your account accrues 100 shekels in rebates, you will receive a payment.
Want to know which items qualify for rebates?
As of today (Jan 29, 2015), the following items qualify. This could change, however.
Similac Comfort
Similac Advance Plus
Nestle Fitness cereals and cereal bars
Yoplait yogurts
Nestea
Emek 9% cheese
Specialty cheeses by Tnuva
Titulim Premium diapers
Pireus products (goat yogurt, cheeses, etc)
In addition, SnapIn promises a "Surprise" category of rebates, so even if you don't purchase the products on the list, you may qualify for a rebate!
It took me only a couple of minutes to submit receipts, and the payoff could be GREAT.
So what are you waiting for? Be sure to sign up for SnapIn TODAY, and start getting those great rebates!
