Everyone feels the inflation pinch, but don’t let it ruin your Thanksgiving meal.
One of our favorite cash back apps, Ibotta, is giving away free turkey meals for the fourth year!
If you’re unfamiliar with Ibotta, it’s a free and popular app that pays you cash back on your everyday purchases. They’ve been established since 2012, and they partner with over 1,500 brands and retailers, including grocery, beauty, clothing, travel, home, tech, and even restaurants & bars. You can even get cash back on your online shopping, too!
They already gave out $186 million cash back to savers last year. It’s the best “secret” shopping hack you can add to your money-saving habits.
