Walmart & the Weekend Warrior Bonus Moneymaker

I got a $5 Weekend Bonus for doing 18 rebates.  While I was in Walmart an extra Bonus of $2 for doing 10 offers popped up to and they stacked. Yay!
I had 6 freebies on my list too so I figured it would be an easy shop and low OOP but as always things don't always work out how you think they will. lolz

Here is what I got for Ibotta.  Prices I paid included with coupons used if any where used, and Ibotta rebates in parentheses).  The * means it earned ShopKick points.


1 x Lola tampons on clearance=$2.00($2.00)
2 x Equal on clearance=$1.88($1.50)
1 x Colgate "bougie" toothpaste=$6.96-..75¢/1Q($5.00)*
1 x Kraft shredded Parm=$2.98(.75¢)
1 x V8 Splash drink=$1.84(.50¢)
1 x Ritz crisps crackers=$2.98(.75¢)
1 x Beef short ribs=$4.50($2.00)
1 x Kraft mac and cheese=.98¢(.10¢)
1 x Sargento sliced cheese=$2.95($1.00)
1 x Snuggle beads=$7.97-$1.50/1Q($3.00)
1 x Old Spice body wash travel size=$1.47 *
1 x Nestle strawberry morsels clearance=.25¢(.50¢)
1 x Degree body wash=$5.47-$2/1Q($2.00)
1 x Bai drink=$1.58(.25¢)
1 x Dove single bar=$1.18 *
2 x Core protein bars=$4.48($2.24)
2 x Malt O Meal cereals=$2.00 *
1 x Country Crock tub=$2.18(.75¢)
1 x Perfect protein bar=$1.98($1.98)
1 x Carbona stain remover=$2.28($1.00)
1 x Revlon 2 pack lip balm=$4.98-$2/1Q($2.00)
1 x 3 Musketeers bar clearance=.22¢**(.10¢) Not Pictured
SubTotal.........$63.11+$1.49 tax=$64.60

**I included the candy bar even though I didn't buy it for an Ibotta rebate because it did trigger a .10¢ any candy rebate.  I didn't "need" this rebate to hit the Bonus.

Take off the Qs used of $6.25 leaves a total of $58.35 spent.
I used a $50 gift cards from ShopKick to pay(earned from submitting receipts and earning points on purchases.  Everything with an * by it was either/or a ShopKick offer that earned me future points($10.40 worth)but I won't count those onto I cash out for a gift card again.
Taking that $50 off leaves a grand total of $8.35 OOP but on my credit card(which is paid off each month-I use it for c/c points).

On that $8.35 spent I earned back a total of $35.93 in rebates($34.93 on Ibotta, including the $5 Weekend Bonus, the extra $2 Willow Bonus and a .50¢ Level One Bonus AND another $1 back on Checkout51 for buying the Country Crock item).
$8.35 OOP-$35.93 back in cash rebates makes all the above a $26.80 Moneymaker. 8-)))
(I DID buy a couple other items-burritos, chili and raisin bread-which we needed that weren't part of my Ibotta shop.  Those came to $7.98.  Even if you count those items I still have an $18.82 moneymaker.)

Only 1 of the freebie offers did I find in the store(the Perfect bar)but I did find a Lola tampons box which the clearance price was the same as the rebate amount and a clearance Nestle morsels that gave me.25¢ in overage.
Nothing else was free but rebates/Qs/bonuses/free gift card did make it ALL better than free in the end.
I could have bought different things that would have been even less money but I chose to get things we either needed, wanted to try or could use or giveaway.

If you want to jump on the rebate app train I'd appreciate it if you used my referral codes so we both get extra cheddar. ;-)

  1. I've tried rebates before more than once. I don't buy enough of the stuff the rebates are for. I was lucky to get 50 cents LOL. BUT I have 2 kids that do decent with them.
