I’d appreciate a little more transparency letting us know that you get $1 for us signing up under your referral, but I used your referral anyway because your site is my favorite Kroger blog
Hi Andy, I appreciate your concern for disclosure which is why I have a disclosure policy in place. You can view it HERE or also by clicking on the little D circle after every post. As always, KrogerKrazy.com is FREE to read and enjoy. These types of offers help ensure the site will remain FREE for readers like you.
thank you, katie for all you do,….each and everyday to help us all save…..i’m glad that you get any kind of compensation for all your time put into this blog….cause you save everyone so much money..
you deserve that and more 
Aw, thanks Patricia! It’s an obsession, what can I say.
I agree with Patricia. Katie you do a great job and guess what…and we all get to enjoy your site for FREE!
I don’t know why Andy is all hot and bothered that you may have received a buck when he clicked on a link that gave him $5 for FREE!
Katie has the proper disclosures and beyond that I don’t think Katie needs to tell us about every cent she does or does not make.
Thanks Katie!

i tried to use the link to get the $5 for the ibotta but it wouldnt work for some reason boo i had to finish siging up on my phone but thanks any way,
I signup through your link but don’t know if I got the 5$ coupon. How can I know?
Audrey, you should receive it after you redeem your first offer.
I appreciate all of your hard work for us. I think you should get extra
Thanks everyone
People don’t realize the time it takes you to keep up your website. It’s alot of work! Who cares you are getting $1. They are getting $5 so big deal.
Does anyone else have an Android and is getting the message that this app is not compatible with their phone?
I tried to sign up with my IPod last time and it did not work. We just got an ipad and I just tried it and it worked. Yeah, I’m so excited too Katarina! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Love your site!
my smartphone is a android and this app says not compatible with your version :::((((((
Is there a way to add offers? The lady speedstick isnt an option for me?
Courtney, no you can’t request offers…you’re kind of at their mercy.
Kroger is not a store on my ibotta list. I only have Commisary, Target, Walgrens, Walmart, Fred Meyer, Winco foods, Meijer, and Duane Reade. How do I add Kroger?
TShay, what device do you use the ibotta app on? Some of the approved devices (i.e. iPad, iPod touch) don’t have very good photographing capabilities, so they tend to produce a grainy image, making the uploaded receipts tough to decipher. The stores that you have listed are the few who actually approve uploads from these devices. The list is much, much longer on the devices that take clear photos. Hopefully that will change!!
Hi Katrina i was curious as to if i could get this app on my kindle? and do you have to have wifi to run the app? thank you for all that you do i always get excited when there is a new week just to see all the great deals that you post
Wanted to thank you so very much for maintaining this website! I finally got my ibotta app downloaded today (new smartphone user)! Can’t wait to save even more $$$$$. You rock lady!
You’re very welcome “Slave for Kroger”!
I love this site! I was at Kroger almost every day last week. I got so many amazing deals & freebies because of this site. I’m on it every day =) Thank you!
