I downloaded ibotta about a month ago and decided it was mostly a waste unless I had time to kill for several reasons:
1. I don't buy many name brand items. Most of Ibotta deals hinge on name brand crap. I have no brand loyalty and usually like the store brand stuff better (and it's way cheaper too).
2.In addition to name brand crap being the main things they do the deals for, it's all boxed or "meal helper" crap - no real whole food stuff or basics. So if you like lots of sugar, sodium, fat, carbs and fancy meal-prep junkfood, then it might be worth it... but I eat mostly paleo and cook from scratch and don't have much need for that type of stuff. (just noticed they do have a few offers this week for milk, eggs, bread and onions at least)
3. They only like certain stores for most of their discounts. I do 90% of my shopping at Aldi, and Ibotta doesn't even give them as an option so I can't do any deals other than the generic offers "eggs" or "bananas" deals... so I miss out almost every time.
I am using Checkout51 and Ibotta, even tho both do mostly name brand crap. Sigh. I guess most folks don't realize that the store brands are the exact same things as the name brands (most even made in the same facilities) just in different packaging? So sad. But I guess the way they work is by getting kickbacks from the brands on offer, so if you shop lots of brand stuff and meal helpers (and crappy beer - always with the crappy beer like Bud or Miller) then it might be worth the effort.
