App of the Week: Ibotta.

Ok I LOVE Ibotta! It is such a handy little app! Basically it’s an app that gives you a bunch of coupons for different stores. Some coupons you have to watch a short video in order to claim, but it’s totally worth it! Some of my favorite coupons are for diapers, and with two kids, I need all the diaper coupons I can get! 

Here’s how Ibotta works: you go through the list of items that have coupons available and you claim the ones you want to use. Then you go do your shopping and all that fun stuff. When you have made your purchase, you upload your receipt and Ibotta will give you rebates back. For instance, if you have a $2 coupon for pizza, after you scan your receipt into the app, Ibotta will “reimburse” you the money! Easy! Sometimes you may have to scan the barcode for the item itself, but that’s not a hard task. Ibotta also gives you chances to earn bonus dollars if you redeem multiple coupons!

To get the money that you have been reimbursed, you have several options. You can link your PayPal or VenMo account, or you can choose different gift cards for stores like Amazon.com, Best Buy, or even Starbucks! How cool! For our family, we are going to do Amazon.com gift cards to help pay for Christmas gifts (you guys will learn just how obsessed we are with Amazon over here)!

If you don’t have the Ibotta app, you have to get it! It’s so simple and it really adds up quick when you have a lot of grocery shopping to do! Here’s a cool thing too: If you sign up for Ibotta using my code (nclbxgp), you will get an extra $10 when you redeem your first rebate and I will get an extra $5! What?! So let’s help each other out on this money saving adventure! Happy rebating!
