Is redeeming the Ibotta free Thanksgiving dinner offer worth it?

Completing the weekly food shopping list can leave the wallet feeling lighter but the Ibotta free Thanksgiving dinner offer is making the holiday meal full of even more gratitude. Returning for the second year, shoppers can get the entire Thanksgiving feast for free. Have you redeemed this special food offer yet?

Anyone who has started shopping for the Thanksgiving meal has come to realize that it is more than just putting a turkey, potatoes and even those cranberries in a shopping cart. From turkey shortages to increased costs, the whole shopping process might have a few people putting up their hands and running to their favorite restaurant for dinner.

Last year, the Ibotta free Thanksgiving dinner was a huge success. Even if people supplemented that shopping list with other favorite food items, the cash back shopping offer added a little extra gratitude to the holiday season. This year the free food offer has returned.

According to Bryan Leach, founder and CEO of Ibotta, last year’s program “fed over three million Americans. This year, we’re upping the ante by adding even more quintessential Thanksgiving favorites to the list of eligible items. This past year has been difficult for so many individuals and families, and our hope is to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season by giving a little something back.”

What is included in the Ibotta free Thanksgiving dinner offer?

To participate in the Ibotta free Thanksgiving dinner offer, it is easiest to be a new user to the savings app. For existing Ibotta accounts, users have to refer a friend to redeem this money saving offer.

In order to receive the cash back, shoppers must purchase certain items in addition to a turkey. A few examples include Coca-Cola, McCormick products, Campbell’s Soup and Birds Eye Vegetables. Overall, the savings is about $26.

As Heather McIntyre, Vice President of Sales, Global Walmart at Campbell’s, shared, “Campbell’s is honored to rejoin Ibotta this year to bring back the ‘Free Thanksgiving Dinner’ campaign. Over 42 million people experience food insecurity in America today. As a partner in this program, we hope many will get to share a holiday meal with their loved ones without a hit to their pocketbook. We are proud to contribute.”

Whitney Arthur, Director of Walmart Customer Marketing at Coca-Cola continued that sentiment, commenting “Sharing a good meal with friends and family is a time honored Thanksgiving tradition, and we’re pleased to do our part to help ease some of the financial burden this year.”

In many ways, this cash-back offer is a much needed program for shoppers this holiday season. With rising food costs causing concerns to family budgets, any program that can help to bring savings during the holidays is a welcome offer. Even if the Thanksgiving meal includes a few more items than the food on the Ibotta shopping list, saving $26 from the overall total is a reason to be thankful.
