For the past year, I’ve been telling you about DOSH. It’s the cash-back app that gives you free money every time you use a linked credit card. Pretty much the “set it and forget it” version of the money-saving apps on the market.

Anyway, I wanted to share my most recent Dosh experience because it’s a reminder of just how useful this app really is. Now, I’m not one to check the app to see if there are Dosh merchants around me just so I can save a dollar. I think that defeats the purpose of the app because the true value of Dosh over its competitors is that you never have to think about it. You just buy something and *wham* there’s your free money. That’s exactly what happened to me a few days ago.

I went to go pick something up at a supermarket in my neighborhood called Grocery Outlet. It’s a low-cost closeout marketplace and I’ve discovered they have REALLY CHEAP CANDY. As a sugar-addict, it’s dangerous to know it exists but the horse is out of the barn, so to speak, so I’ll occasionally stop in to see if they have anything interesting.

Fortunately for me/unfortunately for my glucose levels, I stopped in and saw that they were selling gummy sour SweetTarts for like $1.50 or something. The bags usually retail for $3 or more so this was a good score and I felt like I was already saving money. As I walked out of the store, I felt my phone buzz. Thinking it was a text, I checked it and found a notification from Dosh.

Now, I’m not sure why it says this was my “first Dosh offer” because I’ve been using the app for close to a year now, but I had to chuckle when I saw the $.13 reward. Obviously thirteen cents isn’t going to do very much for me. However, it’s thirteen more cents than I had before and I got it for literally doing nothing more than what I was doing anyway. I didn’t even know Grocery Outlet was a Dosh merchant.

That’s the beauty of Dosh. It gives back to you when you don’t even know it’s working on your behalf. If you want to have the experience for yourself, go ahead and download the Dosh app. You’ll get $5 once you link a card and I’ll get $5 for referring you. Then, you can invite all of your friends and collect their referral bonuses. The free cash never stops with Dosh!
