Ibotta

As a stay-at-home mom, and even before I was that, I tried to save money whenever I could or even try earning a little extra spending money.


I have been cutting coupons from the Sunday paper for years. Even if I'm only saving .25 on toilet paper, it's something we all need. I've found coupons.com and they have a pretty big selection of coupons that can be printed off. There are several for diapers which is great!


In the last year, I've started using an app called Ibotta. It is awesome! I can earn money buying what I need. All I have to do is unlock rebates from the list they have ready at the time. Recently, I had a coupon for .75 off of any variety or size Luv's diapers. Ibotta had a $5.00 rebate for a box of Luv's. So instead of paying $18 for the diapers, I ended up paying only $12.25. I'm thinking that's pretty darn good considering how expensive diapers are. There are other times I've printed coupons for Pampers Cruisers. It would be $3.00 off for two bags or one box. I'd also have a rebate on Ibotta for $1.50 for the same brand of diapers. I'd get the two bags and on one bag alone, I pretty much paid $6.00 which is the cost of the cheaper brands.


I've earned over $30 so far in the short time since I started using Ibotta. Once you get to $20, you can cash out. You have the option of transferring the money to a PayPal account or to a small selection of gift cards.
