It feels like summer has just begun, but just like that, it's time to start thinking about back to school. Even though I'm not ready for summer to end, I LOVE school supply shopping. It was always one of my favorite things to do as a kid and I still love the excitement of a new beginning that starts with buying fresh notebooks, pens, pencils, backpacks, and more for my own kids.
And since I love a great deal, I like to start my back-to-school shopping where I earn rewards on things I already buy – the Ibotta app right on my phone!
Last school year was full of uncertainty and we had to adapt to new ways of learning, so Ibotta wants to send kids back to school this year doing what they do best – putting cash in the pockets of American families by giving 100% cash back on their Back to School FREE for ALL bundle now through the end of August 2021.
Last week my kids' new glasses were ready at Walmart and they both needed new shoes, so we checked the Ibotta app and saw that Walmart was included as one of the stores with the Back to School FREE for ALL bundle. Then we headed out to complete a bunch of our back-to-school errands in one stop. I've been using Ibotta to get cash back on the things I already buy from my favorite stores, so I was really excited to find out that I could get 100% cash back on so many essentials with the bundle!
We worked our way through the offer list in-store and found most (but not all – we will keep looking!) of the items in stock. We were really happy to find the offer for 100% cash back on our favorite Ticonderoga pencils! Talk about getting cash back on things you already buy!
You can find the Back to School FREE for ALL bundle and more offers in the Ibotta app when shopping in person, or by using the online shopping link in the app or the browser extension on your computer to get cash back on online grocery pick up and delivery orders.
All offers were valid as of publish date. Don’t forget to check your app for details, as offers change frequently and may not be available in all areas. (For example, the LALA Yogurt offer shown in my photos has since expired.)
If you're thinking about trying Ibotta, NOW is the time! This cash back shopping app makes every purchase rewarding! There are two ways to use Ibotta and you can use them interchangeably once you set up your Ibotta account:
1. Online: Add the browser extension on your computer or connect your store accounts. On your mobile device, open the Ibotta app and click "online shopping" on the home screen, then choose the retailer you want to shop with. My favorite part about shopping online from my computer is that the browser extension prompts me to activate my shopping trip with Ibotta so I never miss cash back.
2. In-Store: If you're shopping in person, you select the offers in the app, match the items (you can scan them to be sure), and then redeem the offers by scanning your receipt or connecting your store account to Ibotta.
The cash back is automatically added to your account in a couple days and you can withdraw it any time by transferring to your bank account or PayPal ($20 minimum), or by ordering gift cards through the app.
Be sure to follow Ibotta on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to get the latest news on these offers and more.
I hope you and your family enjoy being rewarded with cash back on school supplies and have an awesome school year!
