Slimmer Body, Fatter Wallet In 2020?

-

As we get a jump start on the new decade, we think of our New Year's Resolutions - - Resolutions?  I prefer New Year's INTENTIONS.  With that, the number one thing we hear is losing weight, getting fit or some other health kick👟👟.  With the intention to start a healthier you why not take those lost pounds and add them to your wallet?

With the rise in internet sales, there are a lot of great cash back sites like Rakuten, MyPoints, EBates to name a few.  These sites offer points or cash back on each purchase made from 1000s of stores-majority being from online purchases.  But what about the in-store purchases?

I decided to try Ibotta.  This is an app with similar perks to the above sites but also offers in-store purchase cash back at places like Sprouts, Whole Foods, Target, King Soopers, and more!  This was the first I have found to offer cash back on grocery items, restaurants, alcohol, and more in-store/in-app purchases. 

I average about $40 per month saved with Ibotta which does not include the money saved using loyalty cards like King Soopers or Target Circle💰.  One downside, is the loyalty link within the Ibotta app is not very reliable; so I suggest always uploading a receipt to ensure you get your awarded cash back.  Be prepared to scan bar codes with your receipt to get cash back even quicker.

Tips I Have Found to Maximize Savings:
1.  Make a list of items you need
2.  Check your loyalty app for coupons [Target Circle, King Soopers App, Sprouts App, etc]
3.  Check Ibotta for cash back offers
4.  Stay Open Minded - If you are open to brands, sometimes I need yogurt and am not partial to a brand.  All I want is Greek Yogurt and often find both Grocery app and Ibotta have offers on the same brand.
4.  Plan large hauls around their promotional windows.  Ibotta often has promotions to help you rake in the dough by completing a certain number of cash back offers within a certain time period.
5.  Use some of the services the other sites don't currently offer like money back on Uber Eats, Instacart or Pay in App for things like Chipotle or other restaurants.  These count toward redeemed offers and can get you even closer to hitting the Promotional Bonuses.

Whether you intend to get fit, lose weight, start a healthy habit, or get rid of destructive ones-we can all agree having a fatter wallet is a great thing no matter what decade we are in.  From grocery to restaurants to supplements [for those of us on the healthy wagon, they offer cash back at Bodybuilding.com], download the app & use code agwdbow to start getting real cash back with Ibotta today!

What cash back sites do you/have you used?  Which is your fav👍?  Comment below!!👇

Hundreds of competitors flock to Chicago, Illinois for the 2011 NPC Junior Nationals Competition [about 30 of those competitors from Colorado].  When first getting the skinny on what was going on, only about 4-6 competitors from Colorado were called out for Top 10.  This is a huge feat as Erica Cobb pointed out "the competition is STIFF".  Erica competed in Bikini Class D with her team mates Jesse Lehman who competed Physique Class A and Lana Hofman who competed Figure Class E.  Though none of them earned their Pro Cards, they will make a comeback at the USAs in July. 10th Place Bikini Class D 7th Place Figure Class E 4th Place Physique Class A Congratulations MissFits & Mayhem on a beautiful performance.  You all worked very hard and know exactly what needs to be done to blow them out of the water in July. **Other Top 10 Colorado competitors included Alex Carneiro, his wife Katherine, and Christina Hefner

Say A Little Prayer For Me

It was a busy day for The Gym as it began well before sunrise.  Lana Hofman, Erica Cobb, and Jesse Lehmen head to Chicago, IL with their coach, Chris Williamson, and The Gym support team to compete at NPC Junior Nationals.  Upon sending them off, Erica met me with a gleam in her eye and a huge smile.  "I just want Saturday to get here.  I'm feeling really good."  It was refreshing to see how pumped she was. What most people do not understand is this show is a qualifier for your Pro Card and by two weeks out; your body and mind are usually fighting themselves.  They ache, feel sick, mentally & physcially are drained, and sometimes fight to keep motivated.  It takes a lot for these competitors to compete let alone compete nationally.  I commend these athletes for their time commitment, their motivation even if they have a few doubts, and their willingness to be vulnerable in front of thousands of people.  They are some the strongest, most inspirational people . . . th
