Step-by-Step Couponing Strategy
1. The “Pre-Game” Setup Before leaving your house, open Ibotta, Fetch Rewards, Checkout 51, Shopkick, and Swagbucks. Search “Walmart” in each and “save” or “clip” the offers listed below. Pro Tip: Screenshot your clipped deals so you don’t forget them in-store.
2. The “Scan & Verify” Rule Never assume! Use the barcode scanner inside the Ibotta app to scan product barcodes before you put them in your cart. If it says “Offer Matched,” you’re green to go. This is crucial for specific scents like the Air Wick or items like the Revlon clearance pencils.
3. Stack for “Money Makers” The secret sauce this week is stacking. We are combining manufacturer coupons, Ibotta rebates, and Fetch points on single items (like the Colgate toothbrush). When the rebates add up to more than the price, you technically get paid to take the item home—that’s a “Money Maker” (MM).
4. The “Parking Lot” Routine Don’t wait until you get home. Upload your receipt to Ibotta first (it’s the pickiest), then immediately scan it into Fetch and Checkout 51 while sitting in your car. This ensures you catch any missed scans while you’re still at the store.
