Working the $10 Ibotta Bonus at Rite-Aid & Walmart

So I bought this at Rite-Aid last Friday and nothing was an Ibotta rebate item........


2 x large Lubriderm BOGO50%=$16.48
3 x med. Lubriderm 2 were BOGO50%, 1 20% Gold discount=$19.06
2 x 7th Generation baby wipes BOGO50%=$6.73
1 x Centrum vitamins on sale=$7.49
1 x L'Oreal lipstick 75% clearance=$2.37
SubTotal.......$52.13

I used these Coupons....
1 x $10 wyb $50 R-A in adQ=$10.00
5 x $2.50/1 Lubriderm IPQ=$12.50
1 x $4/1 Centrum IPQ=$4.00
1 x $3/1 any L'Oreal cosmetic item IPQ=$3.00
Total Qs=$29.00
$52.13-$29.00=$23.13+$1.06 tax=$24.19 paid for with Bonus Cash

I earned back $17 in new BC($10 Lubriderm, $2 Centrum, $5 wyb2 7th Generation).
The $5 for the 7th generation didn't automatically credit so I had to call Customer Service to get it fixed.


Also on Friday I hit up Walmart and got this lot.......


2 x Malt o Meal cereal bags(1 was $1, 1 was .50¢)=$1.50
1 x Arnicare pain relief on clearance=$2.00
1 x Ivory body wash=$3.97
1 x Gillette col wave trial deodorant=$1.97

2 x Annie's mac and cheese=$2.00
1 x Gerber teether crackers=$1.96

SubTotal.......$52.36

I only used 2 coupons--
1 x .50¢/2 Annies items IPQ=.50¢
1 x $4/1 Schick hydro razor ManuQ=$4.00

$52.36-$4.50=$47.86+$1.51 tax=$49.37
I used a free $25 Shop Kick Walmart gift card and paid $24.37 OOP.

I earned back $30.07 in regular Ibotta rebates including a Sunsweet, an Annies and a March Level 1 Bonuses.  I completed 20 of the 40 regular rebates toward the $10 Dublin' Cash Bonus.
I also earned 3,590 Kicks on Shop Kick between scan and submitted and a walk-in kick which translates into $14.36
And I earned 75 pts. on Fetch too.
$24.37 OOP
$44.43 back in rebates(not counting Fetch pts.).

I bought $50+ worth of stuff on Saturday at Rite-Aid(I forgot to take a photo of it)...it was 2 Irish Spring items, Cottonelle tp and Huggies, a Clairol hair color, another L'Oreal lipstick and a Dr. Scholl's heel cushion(all those 3 on clearance)and 3 more of those Got2Be hair chalks.  I spent $22.72 in Bonus Cash and got back $10 in new BC(for the paper products)plus $7.50 back on Ibotta for the Got2Be items so I spent BC down a bit and converted $7.50 of it to cash on Ibotta and I was up to 21 rebates toward the $10 Dublin' Bonus(9 more to go).

Ibotta rebates reset for me by Monday and we had to run some errands so I got a few more things at Walmart.......



1 x Gerber teether crackers=$1.96
1 x Focus FitAid drink=$2.48
1 x Wheat Thins crackers=$2.56(price went up since last Friday!)
1 x Townhouse crackers=$2.50
1 x Annie's mac and cheese=$1.00
1 x Kraft mac and cheese=.98¢
1 x Country Crock stick marg.=$2.98
1 x Country Crock tub marg.=$2.18
1 x Sunsweet Prunes w/Berry essence=$3.28
3 x American Greetings card=$1.41*not pictured*
SubTotal........$22.33 +.30¢ tax=$22.63 paid OOP.
I had a $10 prepaid debit card to use but the self-check out wouldn't accept it and I didn't feel like going through the hassle of getting a CSM involved so I paid OOP for everything. n(I'll use that prepaid debit card at Weis(PMITA)Markets later today.)
This lot gave me another 12 regular rebates for Ibotta and $13.45 cash back on that app($12.45 + a $1 Midweek Bonus)so I am now 7 away from the 40 rebates needed for the Bonus.
And I submitted my receipt to Checkout51 for 1 of  the Country Crocks and got another $1 rebate there.

On to Monday's Rite-Aid hauls......


My card didn't have the $4/2 L2CQ for the Colgate toothpaste, just the $3/2 L2CQ.

2 x Clairol clearance hair color=$4.38
2 x Colgate advanced toothpaste on sale=$7.00
1 x Robin Eggs candy 20% Gold discount=$2.39
2 x Russel Stover candy eggs on sale=$1.00*not pictured*
SubTotal......$14.77

Coupons Used
1 x $5/2 Clairol hair color ManuQ=$5.00
2 x $3/1 Colgate R-A in ad Q=$6.00
1 x $3/2 Colgate toothpaste L2CQ=$3.00
Coupon Total.....$14.00

$14.77-$14.00=.77¢+ .18¢ tax=.95¢ paid with Bonus Cash.
I earned back $1 in new BC(Russell Stover)making this a .05¢ moneymaker. 8-)

Then later that day I bought this on Hub's card......


2 x Colgate advanced toothpaste on sale=$7.00
2 x Neutrogena make-up remover 20% Gold discount=$11.66
2 x Snickers 100 cal. bars on sale=.78¢
2 x Russel Stover candy eggs on sale=$1.00
SubTotal......$20.44

Coupons Used
2 x $3/1 Colgate R-A in ad Q=$6.00
1 x $4/2 Colgate toothpaste L2CQ=$4.00
1 x $3/1 Neutrogena make-up IPQ=$3.00
1 x $3/1 Neutrogena make-up L2CQ=$3.00
Coupon Total.....$16.00

$20.44-$16.00=$4.44+.34¢ tax=$4.78 paid with Bonus Cash.
I earned back $7 in new BC($6 Neutrogena, $1 Russell Stover)so a $2.22 moneymaker. ;-)
Plus the Snicker bars qualified for another Ibotta rebate of .50¢ so I have 34 rebates done and only 6 more to earn before the Bonus goes away on the 28th of March.

I think we'll get there handily before that Bonus ends. 8-)))
Except for that prepaid Debit card snafu I am happy with how the shopping went.  I got close to the Ibotta Bonus, had a couple moneymaker transactions and spent down some Bonus Cash which I needed to do.(I plan to spend it all down on a couple of cards until Fall and take a break from Rite-Aid.)

If you need toothpaste this is the week to get it for better than free at Rite-Aid(plus a couple of free Easter candies).

Are you working on an Ibotta Bonus?

  3. Ditto what Lisa said. When we got married I told TheHub one of the reasons I was marrying him was so I never had to do math again!
