New From Digitwirl: Using the Cardstar App!

Get your loyalty cards out of your wallet and into your Smartphone!

From the pet store to the bookstore everyone seems to have loyalty cards these days. They’re great. They get you discounts and exclusive deals, which may be why your wallet is jammed full of them. Or, you may be the type who hates carrying them all around with you, but inevitably the one you need is stashed in a drawer at home.

Cardstar (www.cardstar.com) is a simple, yet brilliant, app that puts all your loyalty cards in the palm of your hand (assuming that hand is holding your smartphone).

Download it for free to your iPhone, Blackberry or Android and then using your phone’s camera just scan the bar codes on the back of your cards. Boom! Cardstar reads the barcode and stores them where they can be scanned at the checkout counter just like you would your plastic card. Cardstar will also show you which of your stores is offering special deals and help you score coupons to save you even more money. No wonder the loyalty card program we’re most loyal to is Cardstar.

Check out this week’s Twirl and see how easy it is to ditch the plastic and hold on to more paper–you know, the kind with dead presidents on it….

Ok, I admit it… I’m a bit old school, and I don’t even have a smart phone just yet. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to an iPhone, because my brother has one, loves it, and is always showing me all of the cool app’s that he has on it.

After watching this new video, I’m pretty much convinced that it’s time to upgrade! I LOVE this app idea!

I do all of the shopping for our household. So obviously, I’m always looking for new ways to save and earn rewards. That means that just like in the video, I have a TON of those little loyalty cards in my wallet!

I looked this morning, and this is what I’m carrying around:

Safeway Club Card
Albertsons Preferred Savings Card
Shopko My Extra Savings Card
Rite-Aid Wellness Plus Card
Kmart Shop Your Way Rewards
Sears Shop Your Way Rewards
Buckle Loyalty Card
Toys R Us Rewards R Us Card

And more!! That takes up so much space in my wallet, and it is always so hard to find the one that I want when I need it. Ugh. I hate being “that lady” in the checkout line… You know, the one everyone is waiting on while I fumble through my purse trying to find my card. Yikes. This app would solve that problem.

I also love that they not only make it super easy to store and access all of your reward cards quickly, but they also help you find deals and coupons when you get to the store to shop. Super cool, right?

I’m a bit technically challenged (which is funny right, since I’m a blogger?) which is why I LOVE Digitwirl, and the way that they find stuff that is relevant to me and make it super easy to understand.

Momma FINALLY got a new camera! {Awesome Deal}

I am so so so SO excited!! I finally bought a camera :)

My old camera was just a simple point and click, but it worked good enough. My dream camera is this Canon Rebel , but since I’m not making millions yet from blogging (lol) it just wasn’t really in the budget.

But I have been without a camera for 4 months now, and finally needed to do something. Running a blog, and only being able to take pics with a camera phone, is tough. What’s worse though is having a BABY and not being able to take pictures of her!!

I’ve been looking for a new one for a while, and finally found a PERFECT one yesterday! It’s not my dream camera (that will have to wait), but it is a great option for this price. It’s much nicer and has a ton more features than my old basic camera, and will work great for me.

I wanted to share it, since it is such a great deal. Regular price in this Fujifilm FinePix S2950 is $329.99, but is still on sale today for only $196.95… That’s 40% off!!! Super sweet deal :)

So if you are in the market for a camera too, check this one out. And look forward to MUCH better pictures on this blog soon!!
