Round up some cashback from Caddle

What you get: I’ve started using an app called Caddle that offers cashback for retail or online purchases — think Checkout 51.  Simply scan receipts for listed items or spend a minimum amount at their preferred retailers;  you can even score cashback from watching short ads or answering brief surveys within the app.

What I get in return: Each friend who installs and uses the Caddle app helps me earn $1 to my account.  Use the link below to sign up!

Remember, once you use Caddle, you can also get these perks by referring your friends!

I’ve only accumulated $2.25 to date, so I’ll do a deeper dive into this once I hit the $20 threshold and cash out.  The app was featured on CBC’s Dragon’s Den.  Watch the video for more details.

One of the things I miss most about working in downtown Toronto is the convenience of great food and drink options.  Let’s face it, eating out is expensive, so I didn’t do it often.  Food courts and restaurants get so busy, especially in the financial district!  But when I didn’t pack a lunch, it was great to have the Ritual app because it allowed me to order from my desk and then pick up at checkout when it was ready.  I didn’t waste any valuable time standing in line during my precious 45-minutes lunch.  Read on about my experience.
