How to Make $$ While Grocery Shopping

How I Make Money Grocery Shopping

Everyone has to grocery shop...but clipping coupons is a tad outdated and time-consuming. What if there was a way to get cash back for buying your typical groceries without having to carry coupons to the grocery store?! Let me introduce you to Ibotta!

Ibotta is my favorite grocery cash back app. I have been using it for just over a year and have already received over $230.00! Ibotta works in over 200 retail chains, restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacies, home improvement centers, pet stores, and movie theaters nationwide.

Ibotta is a mobile app and it is super easy to use. Just download the mobile app and join Ibotta to start earning cash back (right now Ibotta is offering a sign-up bonus for any new user)!

How to Ibotta:

1. Find Offers
• Before shopping add offers from the retailer you will be shopping at. 
• I check out the app each time before heading to the grocery store and see which items I want to add!
2. Do Your Shopping
• Buy the products you added and don't forget to obtain and keep your receipt at check out! 
3. Redeem Your Receipt
• Take a photo of your receipt in the app and Ibotta will match the items you bought to the offers you choose. Cash will be added to your account within 48 hours.

There are many cash back apps for groceries but here are some of the reasons why I really love Ibotta:

• The mobile app is very user-friendly, clean, and modern.
• They have hundreds of common brand name items.
• They also have "any brand" deals.
• For example, .25 cents cash back on "any brand" milk. 
• Your cash is posted quickly and you are kept informed via email. 
• Ibotta can be used in combination with print and mobile coupons so don't be afraid to stack up your savings!

My tip...sometimes when you are redeeming your receipt Ibotta doesn't register everything that you initially selected. So be sure to double check and add the ones it missed before submitting your receipt. 

I love Ibotta because it is so quick! You get your cash in a matter of days and you can redeem for an instant mobile gift card right when you hit $20.00! 

Side note: Ibotta also allows you to earn cash back from mobile shopping via the app but it can take up to 90 days for mobile shopping cash to be posted to your account. So, I prefer online shopping via Ebates. I did an entire blog post about Ebates, check it out here!
