Finishing Two Ibotta Bonuses on Friday

I had Two Ibotta Bonuses-the end of the Super Bowl Bonus for $10(needed 8 more rebates)and a $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus where I needed to do 10 Rebates.

I finished both off at Walmart on Friday.........

1 x Back to the Roots potting soil....$5.98

1 x Lysol toilet bowl cleaner...$1.47

1 x GMills oatmeal packets......$2.98

1 x Mtn. Dew Spark.......$1.98

2 x Cheribundi cherry juice.....$11.16

1 x Coke mocha coffee drink......$1.88

1 x VeggieCraft cauliflower pasta......$2.98

1 x Schick Bamboo razor pack......$5.97

1 x Lipton iced tea bags pack.......$1.96

SubTotal.........$36.36

I used a $1/1 Lipton IPQ so $35.36+.46¢ tax=$35.82

I used $30 in free gift cards($25 Swag Bucks/$5 Shop Kick)so I spent $6.82 OOP on all this.

Then I earned $23.61 back in regular Ibotta rebates.  The bamboo razors and the Lysol double dipped for 2 different rebates giving me 11 rebates instead of 9.

Plus I reached both Bonuses totaling $15 more giving me a return on my $6.82 spent of $38.61 in cash rebates.  A $31.79 moneymaker.

Additionally I earned $5.05 back on Fetch($2 on the potting soil, $1.50 on the Mtn. Dew, $1.50 on the pasta, .57¢ more on the Mtn, Dew/Lysol/Lipton)and I have tracking toward another $2 on Mtn. Dew and $5 tracking on $50 Back to the Roots purchases(which I probably won't get done).

I don't foresee anymore Ibotta rebates/grocery shopping being done this month.  This is the week before the wedding and the following week I'll be bedridden by all accounts if this mother/son wedding dance happens. lolz

I did go into Weis(PMITA)Markets this past week and noticed they are no longer putting clearance stickers on short sell by date meats.  Either everything is being snatched up the day it's put out or they are just not having any "long in the tooth" meats due to shortages and demand. Hmmmm.

Ibotta Bonuses Lured Me In & I'm Glad of It!

I started off March by not grocery shopping the first week....or so I thought!  Then Ibotta presented me with two bonuses that stacked--a $5 Weekend Bonus wyb 18 items and a $10 Money March Bonus wyb 20 items.  Obviously the weekend bonus expired Sunday night and the MM bonus expired on Sunday as well.

I had gone to Weis(PMITA)Markets on Saturday for a few things(weekend specials of asparagus for .99¢ lb., whole chickens for .59¢ lb.)so I looked around for other items that had Ibotta rebates.  I found 2 different Cliff energy drinks w/$1 rebates each(for Ex-CB), a bottle of Nature's Truth turmeric with a $2 rebates that was also half price on sale(for me)and these items........

While the Heinz ketchup didn't have an Ibotta rebate it was part of  a Catalina Deal-Spend $15 on select items and get $5 back.  Each items was $2.99 so $17.94 spent OOP on these 6 items.  

(The Spend $15 Get $5 Back didn't work so I went to the Customer Service Desk to complain and they just gave me $5 back.)

The Maxwell House had a $1 rebate and the Kraft cheese had a .25¢ rebate.  So with all 5 rebates that was $8.25 back from Ibotta and I only needed 13 rebates now for the WWBonus and 15 rebates for the MMBonus.

Then while I was waiting on my Weis purchased to credit through my store card I saw that the Maxwell House rebate was back and was now $1.25 per can.  I clipped it for next time but when my Ibotta credits came through late Sunday evening I got both the $4 rebate(4 cans x $1)that expired on Sat. and the $5 rebate(4 x $1.25)that was new on Sunday.

$ spent on Ibotta items....$27.71(with tax)

$ earned on rebates.....$13.25

Then on Sunday early I went to Walmart because that's the only place around here w/enough Ibotta rebate items at the lowest price.  I threw in a couple ShopKick deals too.  I got all this......

2 x Luvs diapers=$9.94

1 x Jergen's lotion=$3.84

1 x Powerade Ultra drink=$1.00

4 x Beechnut baby food on clearance(.25¢ ea.)=$1.00

1 x Ritz crackers=$2.68

1 x Ritz cheese crispers=$2.93

1 x Wheat Thins=$2.18

2 x Stur drink mixes=$5.96

1 x Annie's mac and cheese=$1.00

2 x Maggi chicken bouillon=$2.76

1 x Spark women's razor=$7.97

1 x Spark women's refill=$7.97

1 x Oral B 3 pk toothbrushes=$1.97

1 x Skintimate razors=$5.97

1 x Oui yogurt=$1.34

(These items below didn't have Ibotta rebates, but ShopKick rebates instead)

2 x Danimals yogurt drinks(1 strawberry, 1 blueberry)=$5.96

2 x Malt o Meal cereals(1 Crunch Berries, 1 Frosted Flakes)=$2.00

Total for all these items.....$66.47

I had $15.50 in coupons making this all $50.97 subtotal.  I used a free $25 gift card earned through SwagBucks bringing my OOP to $25.97.

I earned cash back of $21.31 on 15 Ibotta rebates(it should have been 14 rebates but I also got a .10¢ any diaper cream rebate....maybe for buying the diapers?lolz).

I also earned 3,050 Shop Kicks for the Danimals and the Malt o Meal which comes out to $12.20 in rebates on that app.

Since I had done at least 18 rebates over the weekend I got the WW $5 Bonus.

Since I had done 20 rebates I got the MM $10 Bonus as well.

I also got a .75¢ Breakfast Bonus for buying 3 unique items that qualified-doing the Maxwell House and Kraft cheese this past weekend and the Gevalia at Rite-Aid a couple of weeks ago.

Total spent on Ibotta/Shop Kick items at both stores....$53.68

Total earned on Ibotta regular items.....$34.56

Total earned on Ibotta Bonuses......$15.75

Total earned on Shop Kick.....$12.20

Grand Total rebates earned...$62.51

$53.68-$62.51 rebates=$8.83 moneymaker for all. 

Between food bank donation(baby food, diapers and maybe the cereal if Ex-CB doesn't want it), stuff Ex-CB may want(energy drinks, crackers, coffee, yogurt drinks), stuff for giveaways(razors, lotion, toothbrushes) and what we'll use of what is left nothing will go to waste here.

Getting paid $8.83 to take all this home and bless others too?  You bet I'll do it! 8-)))
