As the mom of a large family, grocery shopping is a big undertaking. I am always looking for ways to save money on groceries. And I can bet you’re doing the same. I’ve done some couponing in the past, but at a certain point, I found it became too time consuming. Also, because our family deals with several food allergies, it can be difficult to find coupons that fit our needs.
Enter Ibotta.
Ibotta is an amazing little app that gives cash back rebates. Not only can you get rebates on groceries, but also on beauty and personal care items and household supplies as well.
The app is completely free. All you have to do is sign up for a free account with Ibotta. Next you can download the app to your smartphone, scroll through the available rebates, and choose the ones you want to use.
For each rebate, the app asks you to complete a simple task. Examples of these tasks are watching a short video, taking a single question survey, and reading a recipe.
Once you’ve completed the task, you’re ready to shop. Purchase the items you have rebates for—just make sure you pay special attention to exactly what the rebate is for. Check the size of the item you are buying against the one listed on the rebate and make sure they match up. (I know to do this from personal experience. I’ve bought the wrong size of an item before and the rebate wouldn’t work.)
When you get home, just scan the barcode on your items with your phone. Then scan the receipt. It’s as simple as that. Next thing you know, there’s money in your account!
Rebate amounts vary from $0.25 up to $5 (sometimes more), with potential bonus earnings of $1 all the way up to $5 or even $10.
I love Ibotta and use it every time I go shopping for groceries. I have saved so much money on groceries since I started using this app! Plus, it’s just fun to use!
For me, using Ibotta is so much simpler than couponing. I do occasionally use coupons, but I no longer do any regular weekly couponing. One of the great things about using Ibotta is that if you want to, you can stack the Ibotta rebates with coupons and store sales to maximize your savings.
Ibotta is such a fun and simple way to save money on groceries. Try it for yourself and see.
(Use this referral link and once you’ve redeemed your first rebate, you’ll get an extra $10 just for signing up.)
