I once bought over 30 boxes of pasta from my local grocer
whose jaw dropped when the entire lot rang up on the cash register for a
whopping $0.00. At the very end of the “super couponing” heyday I had been
working on a piece as a freelance writer about the phenomenon and part of the
research involved learning how it was done and doing it myself to prove it was
real. While it was a rush to clear out an entire shelf of spaghetti for nothing
what I found was that the effort that went into super couponing was akin to a
part-time job for a less-than-minimum-wage rate, produce was difficult to find
ANY discounts on, and Big Data was putting an end to the consumer’s ability to
pool information in an advantageous way to get their groceries for next to
nothing. Recently I field tested a new
method for gaining some of your grocery money back, an app that is a lot more
convenient than the work that went into super couponing, gets literally every
shopper some amount of money back from their groceries, and even offers
discounts on produce. I’m talking about iBotta.
