Have you joined Ibotta yet? If you have an Android or iPhone, you HAVE to join! (It is free.) With Ibotta, you will earn money as you shop. To join, go HERE. Then, follow the steps below to start earning money as you shop!
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!! 
5) After you go shopping, take a photo of your receipt and upload your receipt via your Ibotta app. Ibotta will then verify your purchase. Within 24 hours, the credit will be added to your account!! Then, once you reach $5.00 in credits, you an cash out on Paypal!!
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
While shopping, use a $1/2 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes printable coupon on the two boxes of cereal
Pay $3.19 at the store
Submit your receipt to Ibotta. Receive a $1.25 credit. When factoring in the credit, your two boxes of cereal will be $0.97 each!

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.
