FREE Idahoan Potatoes at Walmart & Kroger After Ibotta

Here's an easy side dish deal to check before your next grocery trip: qualifying Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes, 4 oz, are FREE plus a $0.31 moneymaker at Walmart after Ibotta. Pay the $1.28 rollback price, then submit for $1.59 back.

Ibotta's Thanksgiving page lists the $1.59 Idahoan offer and says supplies are limited, so check your account before making the trip (Ibotta Thanksgiving offers). The rebate comes after an eligible purchase; it is not an instant discount at checkout.

Walmart Idahoan Potatoes Deal

This matchup uses one qualifying 4-ounce pouch at the $1.28 rollback price. You pay first, then claim the rebate through Ibotta.

The $0.31 moneymaker is the difference between the $1.59 rebate and the $1.28 purchase price. It does not mean the cashier gives you money back.

Check the Size: 4 oz Only

The 4.1-ounce pouches do not qualify for this matchup. Similar-looking packages can be different sizes, so scan the actual pouch in Ibotta rather than relying on the shelf label or flavor name.

• Choose the right size: Look for 4 oz on the package.
• Scan before buying: Confirm that the exact barcode matches the $1.59 offer in your account.
• Check your store: Make sure the offer is available for the retailer where you plan to shop.
• Review the limit: Follow the quantity limit and purchase deadline shown in your app. Do not assume buying extra pouches earns extra rebates.

How to Claim the Ibotta Rebate

Open Ibotta, select your retailer, and add the qualifying Idahoan offer before shopping. Ibotta's published instructions are to add offers to Your List, shop, and upload your receipt for cash back on eligible purchases (Ibotta Thanksgiving instructions).

• Before checkout: Scan your 4-ounce pouch and confirm the offer matches.
• At checkout: Pay for your purchase and keep the receipt.
• After shopping: Submit through Ibotta using the instructions and deadline shown for your offer, then check that the $1.59 reward is credited.

Ibotta lists a $20 minimum to cash out, so this rebate alone does not meet that threshold (Ibotta Thanksgiving terms). The net prices in this post reflect earned cash back, not an immediate withdrawal.

Kroger Option: FREE + $0.60 With the Qualifying Sale

Shopping at Kroger instead? The qualifying Idahoan pouches are $0.99 when you buy five or more participating sale items, making this another option if you already have a qualifying basket planned.

The five-item requirement is for participating sale items, not necessarily five potato pouches. The $0.60 calculation covers only one qualifying pouch; the other purchases needed to meet the sale requirement are additional.

Check your Kroger app or shelf tags for the qualifying sale and scan the potatoes in Ibotta before purchasing. Choose the store that works best for your trip.

Available While Supplies Last

Ibotta describes these Thanksgiving offers as limited-time, limited-supply offers and directs shoppers to the app for current availability (Ibotta Thanksgiving offers). No fixed expiration date is listed here, so recheck the offer before checkout rather than assuming it will stay available.

For other participating stores, subtract the $1.59 rebate from your qualifying pouch's price to find your net cost. Always confirm that both the retailer and the exact product qualify before purchasing.
