1) Go HERE to join.
2) Then, before you go shopping, see if your grocery store/drugstore/superstore supports Ibotta. Below is a list of stores that support Ibotta (the list is growing monthly so if your store isn’t included, it probably will be soon!)
3) Next, browse through the different offers on your Ibotta app. If you see item(s) that you are planning on purchasing, click where it says, “Earn $”. For example, as you see below, if you purchase Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, make sure you complete the $1.25 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes offer before you go shopping. You will then have $1.25 pending in your account.
4) Go shopping, make your purchases **!AND – always remember that you CAN use manufacturer and/or store coupons on your purchase!! 🙂

Below is an example scenario on how to use Ibotta:
Buy two Kellogg’s Cereal: Frosted Flakes and Krave, 10.5 to 14.7 oz, on sale BOGO $4.19 for two
Complete the $1.25/1 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Ibotta Offer prior to shopping

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Not sure about the Apple app but on the Android version it wants access to your phone’s contact list. This may not be an issue for some but I choose not to use it because of this.
Hi! I joined Ibotta last week, when you first posted about it. How do I get the $5 cerdit for being a first time user? So far I only have $2 pending in my account from some of the items I purchased. Thanks!
I signed up for this and did the Frosted Flakes. I was allowed to submit my reciept twice. First time for $1.25 and second time for $1.00 since I did the bogo @Publix. So my cereal ended up costing me $0.32/box. Love the app.
I have a cell phone but this does not work on my type of cell phone. Might save me $$$’s but not worth buying a new cell phone for.
