Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals

Ibotta- The headliner this week. Powers Kinder, the Chips Ahoy clearance, Softsoap, Air Wick, Windex, Activia, and Dannon. Hit 12 rebates this week to unlock the $5 bonus on accounts that have it.
Fetch- 4,000 points on the Kraft Mac and Cheese push you most of the way to a $5 Walmart gift card. Easiest one-snap win at Walmart.
Swagbucks- The Werther's $4 on 2 rebate is reset from last week. Cleanest 2-for-free of the haul.
BeFrugal- The Colgate Maxfresh moneymaker runs through BeFrugal Rewards. Two-tier point payout (9,468 points on the first two, 8,936 on the next two) covers the spend and tips $3.48 back in your pocket.

New to Multi-Store Couponing?

If this is your first two-store run, here is the playbook:

Open every app before you shop. Activate Ibotta offers, request Fetch boosts, clip Kroger digital coupons, and load the BeFrugal Colgate rebate before you leave the house.
Check your Ibotta bonuses. The $5 12-rebate bonus is user-specific. Some accounts may have higher or lower thresholds, or no bonus at all. Tap your bonuses tab before you commit to the plan.
Plan your store order. Walmart first for the Ibotta plays and the Kraft Fetch snap, Kroger second for the Mega Event stack and the Colgate moneymaker.
Hit the Mega Event minimum. Colgate and Activia both require the 5-item Mega Event price. The (4) Colgates + (2) Activias = 6 items, which clears the threshold and locks in the better shelf price on both.
Spread Ibotta receipts. Each store receipt counts toward your rebate total- and each rebate counts toward the 12-rebate bonus.
Do not stack Ibotta with manufacturer coupons. Ibotta's terms do not allow it. Store-level digital coupons (like the Kroger $3 off 2 Windex or the $2 off 2 Activia) are fine to stack- they are retailer promos, not manufacturer coupons.

Tips for This Week's Multi-Store Run

The Colgate Maxfresh stack is the headliner. A $3.48 moneymaker on 4 tubes of brand-name toothpaste is the kind of play that pays for the rest of your trip.
Werther's is back for a second week. If you skipped it last week, the $4 on 2 Swagbucks rebate is still live. Easiest 2-for-free of the run.
Kinder is a no-brainer freebie. $1.27 in, $1.27 back, walk out with a chocolate bar for nothing.
The Kraft Fetch play takes 4,000 points off your gift card goal. If you are already chasing a $5 Walmart gift card on Fetch, this is the fastest way to close it out.
Watch the Activia coupon stack. The $2 off 2 digital or printable coupon plus an $0.85 Ibotta rebate on each cup gets you 4-packs of yogurt for $0.44 each -- a stockpile price on a brand that rarely goes this low.
Chips Ahoy Baked Blondie Bites are a clearance find. $0.75 a box is great, but availability is hit-or-miss. Check your store before you build a plan around them.
