Walmart & Later Rite-Aid This Week Toward 2 Ibotta Bonuses

 This is what came home with me from a quick trip to Rite-Aid on Thursday and 2 trips during the week to Walmart. I wanted to finish the $10 half the month Bonus and the $5 Weekend Warrior.

I didn't necessarily get the cheapest stuff(and I bought multiples on some items even though that didn't help me reach a Bonus....it was just stuff we wanted and use mostly.


Starting from the right, the Air Wick packs were free with a coupon but not an Ibotta item(the Free warmer Qs work on the warmer/single refill packs.  The Popcorn Indiana w/the fudge drizzle is wonderful(I could have gotten a smaller bag for the same rebate and less OOP but why!?), the Smoldering Eyes Almay eye palette was attaching to Two rebates(eye and face ones)so a slight moneymaker after 2 rebates and I got the limit of 2.  The dark chocolate w/nuts Godiva bars were BOGO after rebate and I love them! The Zantac(25 ct.)was $2.72 after $3 Q and $3 rebate and it's something I use on occasion.  The 2 Lysol wipes were $2.48 each, with my .50¢ Q and .50¢ rebate made them $1.48 each.  I also bought a Lysol toilet cleaner(cheapest Lysol item that qualified)as I was pennies away from a $5 rebate on Fetch even though there was no Ibotta rebate on it. ;-)
The Nivea lotion had a $2.50 rebate and I had a $2Q as well.  The fudge dipped Oreos had a $1 each rebate and I used a .75¢/2 Q.  The Quaker Protein oatmeal packets had a .50¢ rebate, the Thomas' raisin bread had a $1.00 rebate.
The Bic razor had no rebate but gave me overage to cover other items with that $4 Q.  There was a Cheerios .25¢ rebate and it worked on the $1 cups.  The Welch's diet juice was a Shop Kick deal where I earned back $2.84 in pts. and the juice cost me $2.78.  The Good Thins crackers had a $1 rebate, The 2  Kotex packs were free after Qs and $2 rebates on each, and the Hills Bros. cappuccino had a .75¢ rebate.
The packet of tuna had a .25¢ rebate, the Kraft mac and cheese had a .35¢ rebate, the Trident gum was BOGO at $1.20 and the Celestial Seasonings tea box had a .75¢ rebate(plus I had a .55¢ Q.  The Breakstone cottage cheese doubles had a .50¢ rebate, the bottle of Snapple had a .25¢ rebate, the Hungry Jack had a $1 rebate(plus I had a $1 Q), the Sweet Baby Rays had a $1 each rebate(didn't need 2 but the price was good after rebate), and the Stur water flavoring was BOGO plus there were 2 of the same rebate so it qualified for both making them totally free and giving me 2 rebates.
The only Rite-Aid buys were the Got2Be products on $1.92 clearance(paid for with Bonus Cash)that gave me 3 x $1.50 in Ibotta rebates.
Not in the photo are a Yoplait yogurt and a Lactaid sour cream both gotten at Walmart(a .25¢ and $1.25 rebate respectively), another Got2Be item($1.50 rebate)and 3 Twist hair products(3 x $3 rebates and again, bought at R-A with BC).
I earned $82.70 on Ibotta for all this.
I paid OOP $23.39 after coupons and free gift cards. so a $59.31 moneymaker.

Bad weather is heading in later today so I'll be sitting my butt home for few days at least and not doing Ibotta for awhile. ;-)

Shopping Last Weekend for Ibotta Rebates

 Well while I did no Ibotta shopping on vacation the day I came home I got a good Weekend Warrior rebate($5 for 18) and an extra Party Time rebate($5 for 5)that stacked.  Woohoo!  So out the door when my resolve to lay off Ibotta for May. lolz

All this earned me back $13.29 + $10 in bonuses so $23.29 on Ibotta.

I stopped at a Food Lion on my way home(we don't have those here)looking for 4 different Sweet Earth plant based meat offers that were free after rebates but they didn't have them so I snagged 2 bags of  Cheez-it popcorn, a free Rowdy energy drink, a small bag of Duke's mayo and 2 boxes of Dewey's lemon cookies.  Original price was $16.46, rebates for those 4 offers came to $8.73.

I stopped at a Rite-Aid also on the way home for the 4 Compeed items(BOGOF and working on a foot card Spend $30/Get $15 BC deal) and the Got2B hair styler on clearance for $1.62.  Total paid was $21.60 paid with Bonus Cash so no OOP.  Earned back $13.50 on Ibotta for those.  Also hit my R-A on Sunday for the 3 Polident pro-partial items(BOGO50%), paid Zero OOP and got back $4.50 on Ibotta.

Hubs and I hit Target on Saturday to spend down those free Target gift cards I have and to do the Beauty Spend $20/Get $5 Gift Card deal twice(plus pick up those gummy bears that were almost free after rebate and clearance price(and a half gallon of A2 milk(which satisfied 2 different rebates).  I got back $13.45 in Ibotta rebates and spent some gift cards.

Then on Sunday after hitting my R-A for the oral care items I went to Weis(PMITA)Markets and picked up the flat bread on the left side which was a freebie after Ibotta rebate of $3.69.

Total spent......$20.15
Total rebates...$23.29(not counting any Bonus Cash and Target gift cards these purchases partially earned me.

Not bad overall.
And I have not done any Ibotta shopping this week(my bonus is only $1 for 18 offers!! so not worth it)as I am still nursing my injured knee.  I may do the Weekend Warrior deals if the bonus is better and I can ambulate better too. ;-)
