Walmart's New coupon and price matching policy.

I am sure any serious couponer has heard of this by now. Walmart has changed their policy to make it easier for customers to use coupons. 

Now to be honest I have never had a problem with coupons. I do not know if it is who I am or if there is an invisible blinking sign above my head that says "do not give this woman an issue with coupons, she just could not handle it" or the fact that I just chat and smile and act the part of an innocent... What ever the reason I read the horror stories about having to call corporate and just cringe. Then I go in and everyone is like sure we can do that...

So anyway I had some good printed qs and there were some good prices on things and I did not want to go all over so we decided to hit Wm. We tried to make sure there was no huge crowd but who were we kidding this is walmart after all.

So I placed my orders by price match:
Libby's veggies wm .68 cents Fishers .59c This one gave the guy a start cuz my veggies were the naturals and the pic was select. The CSM  said do it.

Lysol wipes wm $2.48 Target $1.89

Strawberries wm $1.88 lb Fishers .99 lb.

Red peppers wm $1.88 each Lowes .99 each

All went through with out a hitch.

I have also heard they would not let you use coupons on price matched things, not true yesterday. I have 4 of the $1.50 coupons so my lysol wipes were .39c each! I did forget to price match a thing or 2 but it was late (yes 8 pm is too late for me to be away from home!) all in all I saved 14% off my bill.

Not great and I did have to get a few things I had no coupons for but it was an easy peasy experimental trip. Next time I will be more prepared!

Hugs y'all!

  1. I'm glad you had a pleasant experience with your price match / coupon experiment, Mel. And, yes, you may absolutely use coupons on price matched items.
