Budget Life: Money Saving Apps!

Stop me if you've heard this one before but ibotta.   (Click that link to see my very first review of the app!  No I am not paid to do this)

Why am I reviewing again?  Because I want you to see it has worked and mention a few changes.


First the use is the same.

Unlock a product, scan the barcode, QR, or take a picture (depending on store).

You NO LONGER HAVE TO SCAN EVERY BARCODE OF THE ITEMS!


Its SO much faster.

Not to mention, on cash back alone I bought all the Christmas gifts last year via amazon gift cards.  Now I have even more!


Where can you use it?

Hundreds of stores including Walmart, Target, Food places (I know Chili's is on there actually), Pet Smart, Whole Foods, Sam's Club...  Places that accept coupons tend to be on the list.  Even Dollar General and Family Dollar.  I found pharmacies like Rite Aid and Walgreens too.  More then likely, a store you go to is on the list.


What can you use it on?

Cloths, Pet stuff (Limited amount honestly), Electronics, food, liquor (Oh yes, MANY wine and vodka choices were listed for select brands!), containers, Office supplies, ect.


What brands are included?

Most main brands seem to be featured.  Ziploc, Tyson, Olay, Dial, Chobani....  But my favorite is the "Any Brand" ones so I can get my favorite brand.


Is it for certain items/flavors?

Some are.  I know for like a Brita Rebate for filters, it was only good for the pitcher filters, not the ones you put on your sink.  But most were "Any variety" with exclusions on anything smaller then so many ounces.  There are some specific ones though, yes.


Have much have you saved?

Im over 200 bucks in savings this year alone and I can use this with coupons, other apps, ect! 


Half of my food ends up being free after all my rebates and apps are used!


You can get gift cards to stores and Amazon but I like Amazon best to buy books and gifts at the end of the year.  Its like a personal savings account.  You can also have it sent to a Paypal if you'd prefer cash back.

Why do I keep asking you to add my roomie as a friend?  Because she buys stuff off Amazon Pantry and we cant double use the purchases so she's making hers our main account.  So please add her and help us both eat!  I also get a portion of it back around Christmas so help a sister out?



Hah, well all the same save you so cash and move on from struggling to saving!
