This week's grocery haul: I got paid $3 to take $30 worth of Yogurt, Corn Bread Mix, Hot Cocoa, and More!

October 27, 2024

Here are the goodies.

Wal-Mart Pickup only this week! Not my best haul, but still a money maker, and it didn't take very long.

Total: $29.74

Coupons: None!

Total Cash Back: $32.85

Final Cost: -$3.11 - Money Maker

 

The complete breakdown is in the imgur gallery above. The stores are listed in the breakdown image. I don't include sites that take any receipt on my breakdown.

Note: Individual deals vary by user for most apps. If you don't have the deals right now, you can try checking back later.

If you aren't interested in this kind of thing, please keep your comments to yourself. If you don't like what I buy, you can buy different products. If you don't like hunting for deals, you can do surveys, microtasks, games or whatever else you like instead. There is no need to discourage other users just because you aren't interested in the same things!

 

If you don't need feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, soaps, etc - consider donating them to your local women's shelter, church, or school! Don't need pet food? Give it to a shelter!

 

Some Additional Deals

 

 

Afterthoughts

This week was just pickup orders. I usually prefer in-store, but I had a minor surgery, and I'm not allowed to strain myself at all. (All's fine, it's healing well, I just don't want to re-open things by pushing a grocery cart. Should be business as usual next week.) Unfortunately, that does mean I probably missed some good deals, but I'm just refusing to look at them right now, haha.

I did run out to Wal-Mart to get a couple things earlier this week as I expected. Luckily, I got a midweek bonus this week, so I just put in the pickup order that way. Unfortunately, that did not get picked up by Ibotta. Not a shocker since they're having issues at Wal-Mart and I had issues last week. I contacted support, but my bonus was expiring in the early afternoon on Sunday so I wouldn't have time to wait for them to credit the offers, and to let the offers I have been getting reset, so I had to find new ones. That definitely put a damper on things. I'm quite enjoying those yogurts and cocoa mix. Ibotta did end up crediting me (while I was out getting today's pickup order, lol) Today's order went through as it should though! I made sure to re-link my account before doing today's.

 

I got a text letting me pick my November bonus. I ended up choosing the $30 for 71 offers. I had a higher one for $40 for 93 offers, and since we should get all of the Thanksgiving offers, I should be able to finish that. However, I hardly ever finish 93 offer bonuses for one reason or another, so I decided to play it safe rather than stress it.

 

I also submitted all of my October receipts to Amazon Shopper Panel and that came to $6.85. Such a shame remembering that I used to only need 10 receipts for $10. Since Home Depot receipts are $1, I decided to drop by and grab a couple of the $0.20 carpenter pencils to bring me up to $8.85. I bought three, but the one receipt isn't crediting. I used three different cards to ensure the receipt is obviously different, but I'm guessing the time stamp is causing problems. Good to know for next time.

 

 

Time Spent

This week I spent a total of around 20-30 minutes planning my haul while also brushing my cat. The pickup orders took just under 10 minutes each. This included getting my regular groceries as well.

 

 

Food From Deals

The other week I made some taco meat. Deal items included taco seasoning and ham (I substituted half for the beef, couldn't taste the difference). I served it with pasta instead of the tortilla shells. Not as tasty, but I have way too much pasta that needs to get eaten. Although, there are some decent stacking deals on hard shells between Ibotta + Fetch right now.

I also made a lasagna. Cottage cheese, ham (subbed half the meat), noodles, pasta sauce, and most the seasonings were deal items. Beef wasn't, and the "cheese" wasn't. I used bettergoods plant-based "cheese". It's pretty decent. I wouldn't use it on a pizza, but in lasagna? I can barely taste the difference, and my stomach is much happier.

 

Here's some things I've made in the past: High Protein Tomato Crackers, Hot Sausage Cups, Peanut Butter Fudge & Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge, Chocolate Cherry Pie

 

Do you guys want me to continue showing things I've made using ingredients I got from rebate apps on these posts? Let me know in the comments, or you can vote on this poll if you want to remain anonymous.

 

 

Mini FAQ

  • If you're new or confused - check out the guides near the top of the post. They go into detail about everything.

  • I'm from the USA and these posts are tailored as such, but this post of mine does list things from other countries that I know about.

  • My posts are tailored to being money makers to suit this subreddit. There are tons of great deals that aren't money makers but can still save you a lot of money.

  • A lot of what I get is given away to friends, family or is donated. I do this more as a hobby than anything.

  • I generally do not share my spreadsheet since the one shown in this post is not the one I actually use (it's put together with a script from my usual spreadsheet) and there are a ton of little things that will give you wrong values if you don't know about them and even then you have to be careful. It's super easy to make a spreadsheet with Google Sheets though.
