Bree the Coupon Queen has always loved finding ways to save money. Now she's helping others save. For her, using the Upside app had the most benefit.
"The app, what it does is it uses your location, and it shows you what gas stations near you are giving cash back, and it shows you how much cash back," she said. "Then you can cash out right to your bank account."
How it works, is the app will find offers at gas stations near you, then claim the one you want right before you fill up. The upside is you can buy gas with the credit or debit card you already use, then follow the app's instructions to either check in or upload a receipt to earn cash back. When you're ready for the cash, you just do a bank transfer.
Another tip to save money on gas: use gas station rewards programs.
"For example, if you use Circle K. So Circle K, when you join them you're going to get $0.25 off per gallon for your first five fill ups. That's really nice because the discount is immediate. You don't have to worry about getting the cash back," Bree said.
Another good tip: knowing what locations to get gas and which ones to avoid.
