Food And Groceries
Since the cost of groceries is one of the biggest expenses for Australians, here are some freebies and discounts for you.
Everyday Extra: 10% off Groceries and Other Perks
I’ve been a member of Everyday Extra for over a year now and each month I get:
10% off every month at Woolworths and Big W
A free perk e.g. sauce, popcorn, chocolate, juice etc. Based on things we buy usually.
Extra discounts (I saved an extra $674 worth last year on things we normally buy)
Extra points (I got 40,000 extra reward points worth $200)
Everyday Extra has an annual fee of $70 so it’s not an instant freebie/discount but you do get 1,500 bonus points with this link.
Cheap Wines
Get Wines Direct – possibly one of the cheapest ways to get wine.

Frequent Flyer
The Qantas Frequent Flyer program helps you accrue points to spend on flights and travel, as does the Velocity Club from Virgin.
Both programs have a variety of ways to earn points from shopping, petrol, flights, hotels and more. Sign up for Qantas here and Velocity here.
Cashback Programs
Your first step needs to be getting the apps and Chrome extensions installed.
They can notify you when you are on a site eligible for cash back and how much you will get.
The ones I use are:
Shopback: Works the same as CashRewards. You can only activate and use one so I compare to see which one is offering me a better deal.
Join Shopback for free and get a bonus after your first purchase through them too.
With Shopback you can get discounted movie tickets and if it is your first time using them, with the bonus cash back they work out to be under $20 for 2 tickets!
Honey: Slightly different, Honey offers cash back but also scans for discounts and coupon codes. Join Honey for free here.
Swagbucks: Best known as an online survey site, they also have a cash back program with the cash being awarded in points you accrue and cash out. Join free here.
