There is a new kid on the block. Ibotta. It is now available to download to your iPhone, iPad, or Android!

Ibotta is an free app that helps you save money while you shop. After you download and register this app, you can select some of your favorite offers for your favorite products.

After you select your favorite offers, you can complete several activities that help you earn even more savings for that product. The more activities you complete (reading facts, taking quizzes, posting to Facebook, watching videos, and more) the more money you will earn! There are normally 3 earning options for each offer.

When you complete the activities you choose, the offer will stay on the Ibotta until you purchase the product, upload your receipt, and scan the product.

When steps are completed, you will have your earnings within 24 hours.  After you receive your earnings and build up to $5, you can select to have cash added to your PayPal account or make donations to selected organizations.

Ibotta works at 33 different retailers including Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, RiteAid, Safeway, and more.  You can even use coupons on the products you are buying at the store to get your purchase price down even more! You can stack Ibotta rebates with coupons and in store promotions.
