Finishing Off Ibotta for The Year

 There was no way in hell I was going to reach the $45 for 140 offers Bonus for December(especially since I wasn't grocery shopping/around for about 9 days of the month).  But I did get all the rest of the "reasonable Bonuses" completed.  yay me!

Here is what I bought on Tuesday to finish off the Midweek "whatever they called it" Bonus this week.......


1 x Cheetos mac and cheese cup=.96¢
1 x Cheetos mac and cheese box=.96¢
2 x Durex condoms=$5.76
1 x Glad trash bags=$5.12
3 x Aleve small containers=$5.94
1 x Keurig Donut Shop Holiday tin coffee=$5.00
1 x Nivea lotion=$5.84
1 x Rockstar energy drink=$1.50
1 x Celestial Seasonings tea assortment=$2.50
2 x Bic Gelocity pen assortment=$15.74
2 x Clorox wipes travel size=$1.94
Subtotal.......$51.26

I used $40.00 in free gift cards so paid $11.26 OOP +$1.81 in sales tax=$13.07.  I earned back $34.77 in rebates and a $3 Bonus on Ibotta, $2 back on Coupons dotcom, as well as 236 Fetch points and 4,820 Shop Kicks($19.28).

But then I forgot to use my 2 paper coupons so went to CS desk.  The Qs came to $2.05.  Last time I forgot Qs, the CSM put the amount on a Walmart gift card.  This time she said she had to return the items and rering them(price adjusting for the coupons)and gave me cash.  She shoved the money into my hand and was quick to get on to the next person.  Once I pulled the cash out of my coat pocket in my car I saw it was this..........

$6.  I saw two bills when she handed it to me(thinking it was 2 $1 bills and she forgot the nickel but no,
Walmart employee math is wonky,  Wonky in my favor. lolz  Now my $24.70 moneymaker is a $30.70 moneymaker. 8-)))

So I am probably done rebating for 2021 but........there are two days left in the year so...........we'll see! ;-)

Ibotta Again!

 I got a $5 wybuy 10 items Ibotta Bonus this weekend.  I didn't relish the idea of going far from home(Walmart)so I sat down with the new Weis(PMITA)Markets ad to see if between there and Rite-Aid I could come up with 10 items with rebates that could get me to the $5 Bonus that would give me a low OOP and were also things we could use or needed.
I also had a $10 free prepaid debit card(from a Neutrogena Deal last year)to use that is expiring at the end of March.

Here is what I came up with......


The Playtex tampons were bought at Rite-Aid.  On sale for BOGO50% so $8.98.  I used a $3/2 L2CQ so total was $5.98 paid for with Bonus Cash.  This earned me $2 back in new BC and $5.10 in Ibotta rebates(2 x $2.50 Playtex, .10¢ any feminine product).  Now I needed 8 more rebates.
(I should have gone to R-A before as I didn't realize I had an any item rebate on the tampons, so I ended up getting 9 more rebate items at Weis. duh)

2 x Scotties triple soft boxes were $2.50.
1 x Breakstone cottage cheese was part of a Buy 6/Get $3 more off Deal=$1.99
1 x Philly cheesecake dessert was also part of $3 Deal=$3.00
1 x Musselman's apple sauce part of $3 Deal=$2.79
2 x King Arthur flour part of $3 Deal=$4.98 both
1 x Truvia sweetener part of $3 Deal=$3.49
2 x Bigelow tea bags(had to get 2 for deal price)=$4.94
1 x Quaker oatmeal=$2.50
1 x Quaker oatmeal packets=$2.50

SubTotal.....$28.69

I used 2 x .65¢/1 Scotties IPQs which each doubled to $1.30/1=$2.60
$28.69-$2.60=$26.09.
I used the $10 debit card so my OOP at Weis for these items was $16.09

I earned back $9.75 in regular rebates and hit the 10 items so got the $5 Bonus plus a .50¢ Bonus for buying Scotties and Bigelow together so $15.25 back at Weis + $5.10 back at R-A=$20.35 in rebates.

$16.09 spent OOP, $20.35 total back in rebates AND $2 back in BC at R-A for the Playtex purchase turning this into a $6.26 moneymaker. 8-)))

Other than the tampons(which I'll pass along to someone who can use them)everything is useful to us and/or something we needed now.
