Ibotta Review: How to Earn $12.65 By Buying Milk, Eggs and Vegetables
Anyone who has ever cut coupons knows how extremely rare it is to find a coupon on staples like milk, bread and eggs. It’s sad, but most coupons are for processed foods that aren’t good for your health — or your budget.
Which is why we LOVE the smartphone app, Ibotta.
Ibotta is a rebate app that very cleverly allows you to take a picture of your grocery store receipt. In return, they give you cash rebates on your purchases.
Many of the rebates are for healthy foods and the best part is that in some cases, you don’t even have to buy a specific brand. For example, this week they’re offering a 20-cent rebate when you buy an onion. Any onion. Any brand. Any size.
Cool, right?

How does Ibotta work?
Step 1: First you need to download the Ibotta app here. It’s totally free and it takes about 15 seconds to sign up.
Step 2: The app uses your smartphone GPS to locate the grocery stores around you. Pick your favorite and then browse through the rebates to find the ones you want to use.
Step 3: Before you go to the store, you’ll need to “unlock” the rebate. Usually it’s just a matter of reading a quick fact or watching a 15 second ad about the product. It’s pretty easy and won’t take you much time.
Step 4: After you get home from the store, click the redeem button on the Ibotta app and use your smartphone’s camera to take a picture of your receipt. Within 24 hours, you’ll see cash sitting in your Ibotta account which you can withdraw at anytime via Paypal or Venmo.
