I Finished the Blossom Ibotta Bonus

 I had 89 offers out of 115 done going into yesterday on the Ibotta month long $35 Blossom Bonus.

I figured I'd buy 7 x $5 gift cards to Walmart which would use $35 of my monthly earnings so I did that leaving me 19 offers away from getting both the $5 Weekend Bonus and the $35 Blossom monthly Bonus(Each gift card you purchase in Ibotta earns you a rebate offer).  I also had a $10 free Fetch gift card and a free $5 Shop Kicks gift card to use, so $50 in gift cards to use.  I also tried to get items that double dipped on more than one platform to get some of the items for very cheap or free after all rebates.

Here's what I bought.....

* 1 x Lipton gallon tea

* 1 x Gatorade Protein drink

* 1 x Breakstone cottage doubles

* 1 x Core Keto Protein bar

* 1 x Kraft mac and cheese

* 1 x Ragu pasta sauce

* 1 x Campho Phenique first aid cream

* 1 x Degree men's deodorant

* 1 x Carbona color grabber

* 1 x Carbona Stain Devil

* 1 x Nice N' Clean flushable wipe 3 pack

* 1 x Thomas' Swirl Bread

* 1 x Wonder Hot dog Rolls

* 2 x Johnson's Skin nourishing products

* 1 x Dove men's ultimate deodorant

* 1 x Dove women's ultimate deodorant

* 1 x Mtn Dew Major Melon drink

* 1 x Mtn Dew Spark Zero drink

* 1 x Mtn Dew Zero drink

* 1 x Suave shampoo

* 1 x Suave body wash

* 1 x Suave hand santizer

Total came to $78.95.
I used $4.75 in coupons making the total $74.20 and sales tax was $3.51for a grand total of $77.71.

I used $50 in assorted gift cards leaving me to pay $27.71 OOP.

I earned back $75.50 on Ibotta for completing 23 regular rebates(2 any item offers and the Carbona items each double attached to 2 separate rebates), the $5 Weekend Bonus, and $35 Blossom Bonus, an extra $1 Breakstone Bonus and .03¢ cash back on each of the 7 Ibotta gift cards I bought/used.

I earned $2.35 worth of points on Fetch for this transaction.

I earned $18.58 worth of points on Shop Kick for this transaction.

I earned .56¢ worth of points on Swag Bucks for this transation.

These items were free or better than free after rebates....Degree men's deo, Dove men's and women's deos, the 3 Suave items mostly because they gave me points/cash back on two or more platforms.

So just on the Ibotta earnings I had a $47.79 moneymaker.   The $21.49 total earned on Fetch/Shop Kick/Swag Bucks will get counted as I cash out for gift cards on those platforms.

Everything bought will get used/eaten/drank or will be given to the food bank or sold at my next stockpile sale.

Not bad at all.  Even with using $35 of my earnings this month I am at $192.19 in rebates from Ibotta for April.

Ibotta Midweek Bonus & 4 Other Rebate Apps...Not Free But Still Alright by Me

Here's how I did the Bonus on Ibotta this week.  

First at Rite-Aid I bought.....
2 x Almay make-up wipes on clearance=$3.24
2 x Got2Be stylers on clearance=$3.84
2 x Haribo Z!ng gummies on sale=$3.00

Total OOP was Zero(used Bonus Cash and combined these items with others so I could use a Spend $50/Get $15 in Bonus Cash Q).

Then at Walmart I bought.....
1 x Butterball Turkey Sausage=$2.34
1 x Breakstone cottage cheese=$3.14
1 x Gatorade Zero drink=$1.78
1 x Gatorade Super Shake=$2.98
1 x Godiva chocolate bar=$2.98
1 x Nestle spring morsels/chips clearance=.87¢
1 x Celestial Seasonings Tea=$2.37
1 x Airwick scented starter kit=$2.97
1 x Colgate Renewal toothpaste=$6.96
6 x Renuzit air fresheners=$5.82
2 x Cremo shave cream(online price adjusted)=$10.84
1 x Cheerios multigrain w/strawberries=$3.64
1 x Larabar cereal=$6.48
1 x Wonderworks Keto cereal=$6/98(yikes!)
1 x Shea Moisture men's shampoo clearance=$1.00* not an Ibotta offer but earned me 600 pts. on

Total OOP at Walmart....$57.40+$1.25 tax=$58.65  This was after using 3 coupons on 3 items(Gatorade, Celestial Seasonings, Colgate)totaling $2.25 in discounts too.

$7.00 in regular rebates at Rite-Aid
$24.60 in regular rebates at Walmart.
General Mills Bonus of .50¢
Alba Botanical/Celestial Seasonings Bonus of $1.00
$5.00 Midweek Bonus for doing 15+ reg. rebates.
$38.10 in rebates on Ibotta.

I also submitted to Coupons dotcom for a $2.75 rebate for the 3 cereals I bought($1 off Larabar, $1 Wonderworks, .75¢ off  Cheerios).
I submitted the Walmart receipt to Shop Kick and got 600 Kicks for the Shea Moisture men's item($2.40).
I submitted the Walmart and Rite-Aid receipts to Fetch and got 3,196 points back($3.19)/
I submitted the Walmart receipt to SwagBucks and got 253 points($2.53-it should have been 503 pts. but they shorted me 250 pts.on the toothpaste).
All these came to $10.87 in rebates.
When added to the Ibotta rebates the Grand Total earned is $48.97 in rebates on $58.65 spent OOP so $9.68 including tax for everything.

I would have been a slight moneymaker as I tried to use a $10 prepaid Visa card at Walmart but the self-check out wouldn't take it and I wasn't going to bother the CSM on duty for a third time to get it accepted.  I'll just use it at Weis where I know I won't have a problem with it(of course, now that I've written that, there will be a problem at Weis(PMITA)Markets.). lolz

Not a bad day of shopping. ;-)

Walmart & Rite-Aid This Week Between Snowstorms

We had a bright sunny day on Wednesday and I had a $3 Ibotta Bonus if I bought 15 items mid-week.

So I bought this at Walmart on Wednesday, but not without a few hiccups......

2 x Trident gum=$2.24 *not pictured*
2 x Scott tissues=$1.72-.75¢=$.97
1 x Poise pads=$4.84-$2 Q=$2.84 **

I used a free $25 Walmart gift card(earned through Shop Kick)so paid $17.37 OOP.

I earned $18.57 on Ibotta.
I earned $1.29 rebate for one of the packs of Trident on Coupons dotcom.
I earned 1300 Shop Kick points*equal to $5.20* for the Malt o Meal cereals.
I earned 1590 Fetch points*equal to $1.59* for the Poise pads.

Hiccups were.....

* I didn't read the Ibotta Poise offer correctly.  It changed from a buy 1 to buy 2 on my account so it didn't count there but I still got Points and finished a Bonus for it on Fetch.

* I had both a women's and a men's Bic razor in my order but neither of the $3/1 IPQs would scan and the cashier wouldn't push them through. waa waa  So I put back the higher priced men's razor and just got the women's razor.  I "should" have bought enough items for the mid week Bonus just at Walmart but without the Poise and the men's Bic I was two items short.

So I hit Rite-Aid and bought this................

2 x R-A insoles BOGO50%=$3.73
1 x DSC 6 blade shave kit w/Gold discount=$7.99
1 x DSC 4 blade shave kit w/Gold discount=$5.59

I also earned 2300 Shop Kicks*equals $9.20 for the DSC items.

Then I bought this on my card.........

2 x Nivea lotion on sale=$11.98

I also earned $2 rebate on Coupons dotcom for buying Nature's Truth.

Rite-Aid & Walmart Plus Reader Questions....Mostly Last Week

I ended up doing a few hauls at Rite-Aid last week after doing the gift card glitch too.  There were 2 $15 BC wys $50 coupons...each one had a different code on it so you could do each of the two once per card.

This transaction was mostly about getting some paper products and converting BC to cash rebates on Ibotta....

1 x Cottonelle tp on sale=$8.99
1 x Scott paper towels on sale=$8.99
2 x Lady Speed Stick deo on sale=$5.98
4 x Snuggle dryer sheets B2G2Free=$10.98
1 x Nivea shave gel 20% Wellness discount=$3.99
2 x Nivea moisturizing After Shave on sale=$11.98
SubTotal.........$50.91*

Coupons Used
1 x $15 BC wys $50
1 x $1/1 Cottonelle L2CQ=$1.00
2 x $2/1 Speed Stick In-AdQ=$4.00
1 x $1/2 Speed Stick ManuQ=$1.00
Coupon Total......$6.00

$50.91-$6.00=$44.91+$2.22 tax=$47.13 paid with Bonus Cash and gift card.

Bonus Cash earned back was $29($15 wys $50, $5 wyb2 Cotonelle/Scott, 3 x $3 wyb2 Nivea).  2 of the $3 on Nivea was expected as there was a double dip but a third one came off for buying "Nivea, Bull Dog, Edge or Schick" too.  Doesn't matter now as those monthly deals are finished.

I got the Snuggle and Nivea to complete Ibotta rebates. Ibotta gave me back $6 for the Snuggles(4 x $1.50), $1.20 for the Nivea shave gel and 2 rebates each for the after shaves-those qualified for a Nivea Moisturizing rebate($2 x 2)and a Nivea after shave rebate(2 x $2.50), giving me back $16.20 total.  That gave me 4 of the 10 rebates I needed to finish an Ibotta Bonus too.

* The shave gel should  have rang up 20% off w/my Wellness discount but it didn't so I ended up cashing out $1.06 of my BC because I got a refund the next time I went in, so cash to put into my refund/overcharge/post coupon envelope........

Then on Saturday Hubs needed to go to Walmart so I tagged along to finish my weekend Bonus.......

2 x Good Thins crackers=$4.32
1 x Wheat Thins family size=$3.67

2 x Oreo Thins covered cookies=$5.12
2 x Mead folders on clearance=.50¢
3 x Arm and Hammer Scent boosters=$11.91
SubTotal......$25.56

I used 1 x $1/3 Nabisco items ManuQ so $24.56+.75¢ tax=$25.31
Then I paid with a free $25 Fetch gift card.....

This made my OOP .31¢.

Nice. 8-))

I earned back with 6 rebates(Mead, 2 x Good Thins, Oreos, 2 x Wheat Thins)totaling $8.31 and the $1 Weekend Bonus. Total earned last weekend on Ibotta $25.51, total cash OOP between Walmart and Rite-Aid was .31¢.

I also earned $2 back on Checkout51 for the Good Thins and the Oreos.

I submitted to SwagBucks for the Scent Boosters as they were giving back $12 in points so a freebie and .06¢ moneymaker.  They didn't pick up the third container from the receipt submission but after a review later that day I got the full amount of points.  I was planning on doing the frozen pizza(CA Pizza Kitchen)deal but they changed that rebate from full price paid to $3 on 2.  Wasn't interested in the Ferrero-Rocher chocolates as we aren't big hazelnut fans here.

Debbie had asked in the comments what sort of gift cards I get from ShopKicks.  Since I use any gift cards earned from rebating to put back into the rebating game and the only store gift cards I can use are Walmart(Weis and Rite-Aid cards aren't an option on any of them, ShopKick, Fetch or SwagBucks)so I get Walmart.  I could get CVS gift cards but I don't go there much and I'm trying to wean off of that store right now.

ND Chic asked how I put together my Ibotta deals too.  First I'll go through the offers for Walmart, Weis, Rite-Aid and any other store I think I might go to that week that participates in Ibotta.  Then I'll go on YouTube and see what other couponers are doing at the stores and what offers are double dipping too and if there are any internet printable or ManuQs I can combine with offers.  I write up a list and it's usually got way more offers than I end up doing as I have to allow for A-items being out of stock that I want to do and B-items not carried in that particular Walmart, etc.

It helps to follow/subscribe to a vlogger or two that coupon.  Choice ones that frequent the stores you do too.

Right now I am only 10 offers done out of 36 needed to get that $10 Cold Hard Cash Bonus and it ends on Jan. 31st.  It's highly possible I won't finish that Bonus at this point between the bad weather here and lack of deals I want to do this week but that's ok.  You don't have to do them all just to do them.

I earned back $30.00 in new BC($15 wys $50, $10 wys $30 P and G, $5 wys $15 Cover Girl).

Except two things went awry.  The first one I noticed as soon as the transaction was done.  Someone had put the wrong Tide pods(20 ct.)where the 16 ct. and on sale ones were suppose to be so I bought the wrong ones that didn't count toward the $30 spend/get $10 BC offer. sigh.

So I returned those and rebought the correct ones, thus the $2/1 L2CQ came off on the rebuy.  I ended up with $3.49 in cash.  I also returned a lip balm so that was another $2.79 back in cash as well on that trip.......

Then when I got home I noticed I didn't get my 20% Wellness discount on the regular priced Cover Girl

items so when I went up to R-A on Monday I got that $4.51 back in cash as well....

The transaction I did on Monday was this one......

Not a great Rite-Aid week but there are a few wins this week especially if you have the Irish Spring coupon and/or the Unilever inserts from Sunday(of which we don't get here).

CVS Trip on Monday, Multiple Rite-Aid Trips & a Walmart Trip To Finish Ibotta Bonus

I have a Buy 36 items/Get $10 Bonus on Ibotta which runs from 1/7-1/18/21.  I had 9 offers completed going into this week so 27 more to go to get that Bonus.  Spending OOP at this point was the $3.59 OOP at Weis on Friday(plus $7.34 in reg. Ibotta rebates there as well as $23 in rebates from Rite-Aid--Nivea and Nature Made products for which I spent Bonus Cash).
I am at $33.34 earned on Ibotta($30.34 reg. rebates and $3 Weekend Warrior Bonus)since 1/7/21.

Had to spend/roll the ECBs this week.  Here's what I bought........

2 x Nivea Breathable lotion=$16.98
1 x Poise active pads on sale=$5.99
2 x Pop-arazzi nail polish=$5.00
SubTotal.......$27.97

Coupons Used
1 x $5 off $25 purchase CVSQ=$5.00

Coupon Total......$15.00

$27.97-$15=$12.97+.15¢ tax=$13.12
Paid with $13 in ECBs and .12¢ cash OOP.

I earned back $11 in new ECBs($5 wyb2 Nivea, $2 Poise, $4 Pop-arazzi)so spent the ECBs down by $2.

The Nivea lotion had a $2 Ibotta rebate so 2 bottles earned me $4.00 back there and upped my completed offers to 10 so 26 more to reach the $10 Fresh Start Bonus.  Total OOP now at $7.46 and $37.34 earned on Ibotta.

I went to Rite-Aid near that CVS and bought this using a $10 off $40 Q.......

2 x Working Hands lotion(at Hubs' request)$7.29=$14.38
2 x Big Win Coffee Creamer(at Hubs' request)$3.49=$6.98
2 x Nivea men's body wash on sale=$10.00

4 x Carol's Daughter leave-in Conditioner $3.59=$14.36
2 x Baby Ruth on sale=$1.00

I used a $10 off $40 R-A Q and a $3/2 Nivea body wash ManQ so it was $41.42+ $2.12 sales tax=$43.54 paid for with Bonus Cash.

Except my total shouldn't have been so high.  My 20% Wellness discount didn't come off the regular priced items!*the creamer, lotion and conditioner*

Very strange.....those 3 items should have come to $28.57 instead of $35.72 so a difference of $7.15 +.58¢=$7.73.

I noticed the issue and brought it to the attention of the cashier and manager and  I got a cash refund of $7.73 which went into my refunds/post coupon envelope when I got home.......

I earned back $20 in new BC($3 wyb2 Working Hands, 2 x $3 Nivea men's, 2 x $5 Carol's Daughter items, $1wyb2 candy bars).

The Nivea face items earned me back $9.80 on Ibotta and upped my item count by 2 so 24 items left to buy and $47.14 earned on Ibotta since 1/7/21.

Next day I hit Walmart as I knew I could knocked out a lot of Ibotta rebates(and stack a few with ShopKick too).

That trip didn't go as planned exactly(and I goofed up a bit)but here is what I bought and what rebates it all qualified for......

1 x Breakstone cottage cheese*not pictured*=.75¢
2 x Good Thins=$2.56

2 x Good Thins second rebate=$1.50

1 x big All detergent(my goof)=$2.00

1 x Scorchin hot Pringles=.75¢
1 x big jug of Purex=$1.50
2 x big bags of Hall's cough drops=$3.00
2 x Oreo thins(big packs)=$2.00
1 x Truvia=$1.50
2 x Renuzit cones=.97¢
2 x Swanson broth=$1.00
1x Yes! soup=$1.98
1 x Vaseline Smooth Almond lotion=$1.00
1 x Listerine Flosser=$2.00
1 x Listerine mouth rinse(small bottle)=$1.00
1 x Noxema cream=$1.00
1 x Rolaids antacid=$1.00
1 x Zebra gel pens pack=$1.00
1 x Bic ladies razor*No Ibotta rebate*
1 x Vaseline jelly w/cocoa butter=$1.00
1 x Ducolax=$1.00
1 x St. Ives face scrub=$1.00
1 x any brand acne product(I guess the St. Ives qualified for that)=.10¢

All these regular Ibotta rebates came to $29.61cash back.  There were 22 separate rebates bringing my total up to 34 rebates.  

I also earned a .50¢ Listerine Bonus(2 different Listerine items bought)and a .50¢ Level 1 Bonus so another $1 in Bonuses earned.

The big jug of All was a goof.  The Clean Care white All qualified for 2 rebates totaling $4.50 plus had a $2 All Bonus it would have put you over for by buying this 1 All product so after rebates it was almost free(or free if you also had a coupon for it).  My jug wasn't Clean Care so I only got a $2.00 rebate on it.  It is what it is.

I also had a $3/2 Noxemz/St. Ives/Pond's/Simple digitalQ clipped on Coupon dotcom but it disappeared from my account before I got home with those items to scan the receipt in. meh. 

I could have bought the small packs of Oreo thins but they didn't have the mint variety in that size so I had to spend more on those.  Between these issues and the All goof my total is $9+ higher than I had figured.

I bought the Bic razor because after the ManuQ it was a .78¢ moneymaker that I could put toward what I spent on everything else.

The only freebie above was the Yes! soup(an actual .20¢ moneymaker since it was $1.78 and not the $1.98 Ibotta gave back for buying it).  This store didn't carry or was out of some other freebies so I had to punt.

After coupons used and $30 in free Walmart gift cards I spent $38.33 OOP on all this at Walmart.

Total spending OOP toward the Ibotta Bonus is now $45.79 since 1/7/21 and $77.75 earned back in rebates.

I finished off the Fresh Start Bonus at Rite-Aid yesterday buying this stuff.......

2 x Mybite vitamins(2 different types w/separate rebates)BOGOFree=$10.99

2 x Eucerin Ezcema lotion BOGO50%=$19.48

I also earned back $9 in new BC(2 x $3 Eucerin, 2 x $1 Colgate, $1 Candy Bars). 

The Mybites gave me the last 2 items toward my 36 offers on Ibotta so I earned the $10  Bonus plus th $2 in regular rebates. 8-)

Total spent OOP(not counting any Bonus Cash "spent down")is now $45.79 and Ibotta cash back for regular offers and various bonuses earned on is $89.75.

I also earned 2150 in Kicks on ShopKick for the 4 Vaseline, St. Ives and Noxema items which comes out to $8.60 toward more Walmart gift cards.

I earned $8 in rebates on Checkout51 as well.

I also earned 293 points by scanning my receipts into Fetch Rewards so that's over .20¢ back there too.

Plus I picked up a Larabar at Rite-Aid as there is a Coupons dotcom freebie offer until Saturday.  Submit your receipt and get $2.29 back in a rebate, even if you spend less than that on your bar.

If your R-A carries these they are on sale this week for 99¢ each.

I found one at R-A with a .50¢ freshness sticker so it cost me .49¢(in Bonus Cash, not cash OOP).  I've already gotten my $2.29 refund on it.

Recapping--

* Total OOP since 1/7........$45.79

* Total Ibotta earrnings......$89.75

* Total ShopKick earnings...$8.60

* Total Checkout51 earnings..$8.00

* Total Fetch earings..... .29¢ give or take a penny

* Total Coupons dotcom.......$2.29

Spent $45.79 to earn $108.93.

Got some wants, some needs and some to give away.

I'll take this all day long! ;-)

Some Shopping Lately, Mostly Walmart

So Ibotta came out with a $20 Moo-lah Bonus for September.  You have the whole month to purchase 75 qualifying items to earn $20.  Not a great $ amount to # of items ratio but I figure if I can combine those 75 items with weekly bonuses(Midweek and Weekend Warrior ones-thus getting more mileage out of the deal)and maybe a Swagbucks/Fetch/Shopkick deal thrown in and use some free gift cards I have this will work out well. ;-)

First I did a MidWeek Bonus last week, 11 items at Walmart and 1 at Rite-Aid gave me $21.29 back at Ibotta. (I already talked about this shop.)

One of those 11 items was these tampons which also got me a $5 Walmart e-gift card(along with $2 in rebate above).

Two days later I got a $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus so back to Walmart I went and here are the items I picked up(only a few are pictured).......

* Smile Direct toothpaste $3.98-$1 Ibotta and $3.50 back on Shopkick so .52¢ moneymaker
* Gold Bond powder $3.64-$1 Q-$1.50 Ibotta makes it $1.14
* Alka Seltzer gum $4.24-$2 Q-$2.00 Ibotta makes it .24¢
* Bic razor $5.82-$3 Q-$3.00 Ibotta makes it a .18¢ moneymaker.
* Gerber Fruit Water(not pictured) $1.98-$1.50 Ibotta makes it .48¢
* 2 x Gerber baby food*not pictured)$1.96-$1 Q-$1 Ibotta makes it a .04¢ moneymaker.
* Ultra Powerade drink(not pictured)$1.00-.20¢ Ibotta plus I got 60 Shopkicks(10 scan/50 receipt)
* 2 pack hard boiled eggs(not pictured).98¢-.25¢ Ibotta makes it .73¢
* Perdue fresh chicken(not pictured)$5.37-$1 Q-$1.25 Ibotta makes it $3.12
* Poise thin pads(not pictured)$4.84-$2 Q-$3.00 Ibotta makes it a .16¢ moneymaker.
* Cottonelle tp(not pictured)$6.48-.50¢ Ibotta makes it $5.98.
* Cottonelle wet wipes(not pictured)$2.43-.50¢ Ibotta makes it $1.93. I also got a $1 Ibotta Cottonelle bonus for buying both and another .50¢ back on Fetch Rewards for buying the tp so $6.41 OOP for both paper items.

* The Arm and Hammer toothpaste was $3.12 a tube so $12.48 for all 4 tubes.  That was a Swagbucks deal and I got $25 in SB back so a $12.52 moneymaker!
* Another Swagbucks Deal was an 8 pack of AHA! seltzer(not pictured)for $3.38. I got $3.04 back in SBs so .34¢ OOP for that.

* 2 Annies crackers/cookies were $3.82 each. I used 2 x .50¢ IPQ(didn't get the $1 insert Qs)so paid $6.64 OOP.  I got $1.25 for each on Ibotta($2.50), another $1.25 for doing the Annie's Bonus and a .10¢ Ibotta for any kid's crackers.  I also submitted for a .50¢ SavingStar rebate so in the end these 2 were $2.29 for both.

* I also bought another box of tampons this trip for $6.54-$2.00 Ibotta and got another $5.00 Walmart e-gift card so another .46¢ moneymaker(if  roll that gift card into my Ibotta/Fetch/Shopkick/Swagbucks deals at Walmart).  I've maxed out that Playtex/Walmart deal now(limit of 2).

* I also bought another ice cream sandwich for $1.47.(Pictured from the previous purchase.)  This earned back $2.18 in ShopKicks.

Just all the Ibotta rebates(with bonuses-Cottonelle, Annies, Sept Level 1, Weekend Warrior)on this Walmart trip came to $28.05.  The total at the register was $64.67.  I used a $15 PandG prepaid Visa card I earned last Winter that's expiring this month, so  I spent $49.67 OOP.

I also got $28.04 back in SBs, (used $22 worth of it to get a $25 Walmart e-gift card), $1.10 on Fetch an.d $5.68 on ShopKicks and a $5 Walmart e-gift card(tampons).

Add in 2 more Ibotta rebates done at R-A(another $6 in rebates)and I am at 29 rebates in Sept. toward that 75 total.

Tomorrow my trips to R-A and Walmart since the weekend.........
