So I just moved to this new place in Parma, Ohio and there is literally a Walmart Supercenter like two minutes away from my house which is honestly life changing because my old grocery store was a total rip off and super far. I am trying to get my monthly budget down to like $450 for the three of us because we just spent way too much on the move and I am super hyped to finally start saving some actual cash.

My logic was that if I combine a bunch of apps I can basically hack the system right? I did some digging and everyone keeps talking about Ibotta which seems cool because of the cash back but then I saw some people saying the Walmart app itself basically replaced all the good features with their Walmart Rewards thing if you have the Plus membership. So now I am sitting here like... do I even need Ibotta anymore? Or does Ibotta still work on top of the Walmart Rewards? Like can you get both on one item or does the system block that now? I also looked into Fetch because I love how easy it is to just scan any receipt but the points seem kinda low for the effort unless I am buying specific name brands which I usually avoid to save money anyway.

I am basically trying to figure out what the ultimate stack is for 2024. Like should I be using Shopkick while I walk through the aisles to get those kicks or whatever they call them? My husband thinks I am overthinking it but I swear there has to be a way to get like 10-20% back if I do it right. I want to know if there are any hidden gems I missed or if I should just stick to the basic Walmart app and call it a day. Is Upside worth it for groceries or is that just for gas? I keep seeing ads for it but the interface is kinda clunky for me. I just want to make sure I am not leaving money on the table every time I go to grab milk and eggs...
