This Is Great!




WoW!
I just went to Walmart to get ingredients for Chili. Then I was going to head to CVS to take advantage of their .69 2-liter Coca Cola's. Then I thought, Walmart accepts all coupons and they'll price match another store's ads.
So I did all my shopping in Walmart. I had a copy of Highlanders ad and also a Walgreens ad.
The highlight of Highlanders ad was the BBQ Sauce for .75 a bottle. On top of that, I had a coupon for .75 off = FREE. I loaded up.
Then the Little Debbie coupons that belongs to Cubs was for .75 boxes of any snack cakes, guess what.. I had .75 off coupons for those too!
After going up and down aisle after aisle, I reached the check stand and the cashier (who was totally blown away with my purchase) bagged 18 bags of groceries and I paid $28.
Now when you price match at Walmart it will take you just a bit longer to check out, so that's when people started wondering what was taking so long and they were trying to pay attention to what I was doing. After it was over one woman (bless her heart) asked me would I PLEASE quickly show her how to shop with coupons. I gave her some of my ads and showed her what her best bet will be. For her it was the dish detergent that's advertised at CVS for .99, and last week at Walgreens for .88 cents. She said she would put her ONE bottle of detergent (priced at a little over $3) back and take advantage of the .99 Dawn and Palmolive.
I also explained to her how to get her coupons out and match them with sale items. Keep in mind that with Walmarts coupon policy, as long as the price of the item is the coupons face value AND if that face value is lower than their price, they will give you the difference in cash OR apply it towards your total purchase. Now that is how you walk away with paying next-to-nothing for your groceries.
