Wanna get paid back as you shop? Finding the right phone apps is the key. I’ve tried one recently that I can’t stop telling everyone about! Free money for buying things I need anyway…let’s just say I am amazed at how easy it is AND how quickly the cash back has been growing in my account.
The phone app I’m geekin’ over is Ibotta. It is totally free and you can download the app for Android and iPhone. It takes 2 minutes and you can begin collecting your cashback within 5 minutes.
“In this youtube video, I review the ibotta app and do a brief tutorial / demo of the app in action! You can download the ibotta app for free here.”
Check your existing receipts!
Everyone pauses when I say you can get start getting money back right away. Well, because I did. Why?? Well my receipt hoarding has finally paid off. By simply checking my existing receipts, I was able to cash in $0.75 within the first 5 mins of installing the app to my phone. And, needless to say, that’s when I became a believer in the app.

Cashing out…
The app does a cash out threshold of $5 which is totally reachable. Unlike some apps that may require $10 or even $20 before you can cash in on your purchases. Five bucks is reachable within a week or 2 for most households. Especially since most of the items available for cashback are everyday items like milk, frozen dinners, beverages, etc.
It includes beauty items, too!
I was thrilled to see beauty items listed as well as stores like Walmart, Target, Sephora, Walgreens and CVS. Yay! This is where I pick up most of my makeup {and grocery} items week to week.
Happy shopping if you decide to grab the app. I must say it sure beats coupon clipping! Don’t forget about the $10 voucher / promo for Thredup too! See you in the next review {ha! I rhymed.}
