Wal-mart 101

Here are some Tips to help you to maximize your savings at Wal-mart!

First, Wal-mart's Corporate coupon policy is available HERE! Make sure to print it & keep it with you while shopping at Wal-mart!

Next, Make sure to note that Wal-marts prices vary by store, and/or region. I try to post Wal-mart deals, but because the prices by store vary so much, sometimes it's hard to do coupon match-ups, and deals.

Shopping at Wal-mart really isn't difficult. You just need to use coupons on their "Roll back" deals to get the most savings. However, the only way to know what is on "Roll Back" in your region, is to visit your local store.

Wal-mart DOES NOT:
*Double coupons. You will only get the face value of the coupon off. Because of this I typically only use coupons that are $1 off or more.
*Wal-mart Does Not have store coupons (no stacking coupons, just one coupon per item).
*They also do not have gift card deals, No Catalina's either.
*They also rarely have a weekly sales ad!

Here are a Few things that Wal-mart does do:

Price Match - If you have a competitor's sales ad & you bring it into Wal-mart, they will match the price & you will get the cheaper price. You can also still use a coupon when price matching.

Competitor Coupons - Walmart does accept competitor coupons with a listed specified price. This also includes catalina coupons that you might receive at other grocery or drug stores.

They do accept Internet printable coupons too, so make sure to bring the coupon policy with you in case if a cashier gives you problems with this!

Overage - Walmart does allow overage. This means that you could possibly receive money back if your coupons exceed the purchase price.

Tip: If you purchase a trial size item, with an applicable coupon you can get overage towards the rest of your order, or money back. For example only: If you purchase a trial size packet of Tide laundry soap for $.99, and use a coupon for $2 off ANY Tide, you would get $1 overage!


I hope that this helped you! If you have any further questions, please refer to the corporate coupon policy, or ask your local Wal-mart store manager.

Kmart Super Doubles

Coupon Preview & Reminder

You can save $230 with coupons in tomorrows inserts! We'll be getting 3 inserts, 1 Red Plum, 1 Smart Source, and 1 P&G insert! To view the complete preview go HERE or HERE.
Remember that the inserts vary by region. If you are planning on purchasing several newspapers just for the coupons, remember that they are not guaranteed. Check each newspaper to make sure that the inserts are there, and even flip through the inserts if you are looking forward to a particular coupon, before buying them.

Some Coupons to Note:

I have to say I'm not jumping up & down this week. Though we are getting 3 inserts, the coupons look just OK to me :(

*Lots of Suncare coupons! Summer is coming!
*Ken's salad dressing & Kraft BBQ sauce- This is the time of year to stock up on condiments, when they go on sale w/coupon, get great prices.
*FREE Marcal Small Steps- Free is always good. If anyone knows where I can find these, please let me know!
*Mentos Gum- Possible Free Gum
*Always Infinity $4 off - This is a High Value coupon, not seen often. Good coupon to have!
*Febreeze noticeables $4 off - Another good one to have!
*Mr Clean Magic Eraser B1G1 free-Okay I Love these things!

**As a reminder, you can get the Sunday paper for $1 each at your local "Deals" store, or "Dollar Tree". I always recommend getting an even number of newspapers, because of BOGO sales ect. (minimum 2 newspapers a week) I also recommend checking each insert before purchasing several- you are not guaranteed coupon inserts and this preview varies by region!

I will be checking to see if UDF still has their papers for $1.25?!?

Do you know of anywhere to get inexpensive Sunday Newspapers? Please leave a comment & share!

I will probably get 4 papers this week! How many do you plan on purchasing?

Why Using Coupons Is A Good Thing!

Using Coupons is a Good Thing, Because I save hundreds of dollars every month! You can too!
Here's a summary of how I've saved so far this year.

April
Amount Spent: $241.72
Amount Saved: $545.83

Year To Date Spent: $1,076.00
Year To Date Savings: $2203.70

FYI: We have a family of 5 (6 on the weekends, when SS visits) We also have a 6 month old puppy. The amounts shown include the newspapers I purchase weekly for coupons, ink for printing coupons, groceries, dog food & treats, Personal care items such as toothpaste, body Wash ect. I shop at CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, and Meijer weekly to receive these savings. I spend so little because I have a stockpile built. When I first started the amount spent was slightly higher. We have a $400 month budget, but I've been under every month so far. This is okay because if I go over next month then I'll have a cushioning and won't be so hard on myself. I also live frugally so I only buy whats on sale & or have a coupon for. We only splurge on foods not on sale on occasion. We usually also eat out 1-2 times per week, which we are currently working on. I've got it down to just 1 night a week & hope to keep it that way. When we do eat out it's usually at a fast food place, and we usually use coupons ect. If you are interested in saving lots of money too, start by reading the tips on the left sidebar, and please follow me by subscribing on the left sidebar by becoming a follower. If you'd prefer you can subscribe to me email updates Free on the right sidebar, or by RSS feed HERE. Thank you so much for reading! If you have any questions please feel free to throw me an email!
