How To Save Money On Groceries Without Clipping Coupons

Are you trying to save more money when you buy groceries? Are you not crazy about couponing, but still want to cut your spending when you go to the grocery store?

Ibotta makes it a whole lot easier to save money with just a few simple steps. I’ve been using Ibotta for years and 100% recommend it.

What is Ibotta? How Do I Use It?

Ibotta is a free app that gives you cash back for making purchases on things like groceries, clothes, toiletries, and much more!

Before I visit a grocery store or make any kind of purchase in-person, I check the Ibotta app to see what kind of cash back I can get.

It’s silly not to use Ibotta if you’re a regular grocery shopper and also have to buy things like clothes, toiletries, and pretty much anything else you’d find at a store like Walmart or Amazon.

If you sign up now, you can get $10 in your account by using my link here.

If you’re downloading Ibotta on your phone, the app will ask if you have a referral code. Use my referral code: lwyxxrb and you’ll get $10 for signing up.

How To Use Ibotta:

1. Download the app.
2. Open the app before going to the store and unlock rebates.
3. Purchase items that you’ve unlocked.
4. Verify grocery receipt by taking a picture and then enjoy the rewards!

Get Real Cash Back

You’ll get cash back in the form of cash (Paypal or Venmo), or gift cards (ex. Best Buy, Starbucks, Amazon).

A few stores that I’ve gotten cash back from:

• Groupon
• Best Buy
• Sallys Beauty Supply
• Hotels.com
• HotelTonight
• HEB
• Walmart
• Target
• A bunch of different clothing stores! =)

I’m not a huge fan of clipping and organizing coupons and then bringing them to the store. I like that I can shop for items and then upload a photo of my receipt and receive cash that way.

If there is an easier way to do things, you bet I’m going to give that option a shot first. Ibotta makes it extremely easy to save money on groceries.

Sign up for Ibotta here and get a $10 sign up bonus.

And remember, if you’re downloading Ibotta on your phone, the app will ask if you have a referral code. Use my referral code: lwyxxrb and you’ll get $10 for signing up.

Walmart Grocery Pickup

My new favorite app is Walmart Grocery Pickup for 2 major reasons: 1) It’s a huge time-saver 2) Convenient, easy pickup. You don’t even get out of your car to get your groceries. 

How to get started easily:

1. Click here and get $10 off your first Walmart Grocery Pickup.
2. Order groceries online.
3. Schedule your pickup.
4. No fees, no tips accepted, no subscription model. It is free to use Walmart Grocery Pickup.

If you’re new to Walmart Grocery Pickup, you get $10 off your first purchase here. That means you can get $50 worth of groceries for only $40.

I needed 1 substitution because they didn’t have the item I ordered, so they gave me an even better item for the same price as the original item I ordered. You also save money on groceries because you don’t even get the chance to impulse spend since you’re not in the store.

Bonus: Are you bad at picking fresh produce? Their grocery experts know exactly which to pick from for maximum freshness. If you aren’t satisfied with the freshness, you can get a refund. 

Even better, once you fall in love with Walmart Grocery Pickup (which you will), you can start referring friends and family. Just get 5 friends to try out Walmart Grocery Pickup and you’ll get $50 toward groceries.
