This Weeks Coupons

To be quite honest I've been dragging my feet with this weeks coupons, because there just isn't anything too exciting !! Although I found myself buying 4 papers just because there is a coupon for my husbands favorite tuna fish. Buy 2 get $1.00 off. (Starkist Flavor Fresh Pouch Tuna, it is soooo much better than the canned stuff but about twice as expensive!!) A General Mills cereal coupon, Betty Crocker brownie coupon, Pop Secret popcorn coupon, and Betty Crocker suddenly salad mix coupons that if used during the correct sale all of these items will be less than 50 cents if not free when you buy them.

Wal-Mart

I know I have mentioned Wal-Mart and their price matching program in here in a few different places, but I just wanted to put together a post about the whole program and if there are any questions just let me know!! First of all, price matching is in Wal-Mart's policy which means it is in every store, don't be afraid to use this, because it will save you alot of money if you shop the sales and stock up for future use. The cashier's are pretty good about it as long as you have things in order, one suggestion was to circle (in your ad) the things you want to price match so that you won't hold up the line to much. Wal-Mart is very strict on some things, make sure the picture of the product is the same in the ad as what you are buying. The weight and brand have to be the same also. They will substitute store brands, for instance, Albertsons's cheese they will substitue it for Great Value (Wal-Mart's instore brand) cheese, but not Albertsons's cheese for Kraft cheese. A few things they will not accept is buy 1 get 1 free, % off (ex. 35% off make-up at Kroger) or other stores coupons. (Like if CVS has coupons in their ad, at CVS you can use these coupons plus the coupons from the Sunday paper) at Wal-Mart they only accept manufactures coupons. They will accept printed coupons off the internet, but everything has to be very legible, Wal-Mart will also accept ads printed off the internet as long as the date is show on the ad. Wal-Mart does often lose money by price matching but they bank on the fact that you aren't just buying those few price matched items. It took me a few tries to get everything right and not feel so nervy, but trust me, it is definitely worth it!!

Doubling or Tripling Coupons

Usually Albertson's and Kroger (Smith's) will triple the value of your coupons up to .39 and double coupons up to .50.(only on items that are on sale in the ad) For example, a box of fruit roll-ups are on sale for $1.00, and you have a coupon for .35 off. Albertsons's will triple this coupon and you will get the fruit roll-ups for free plus a .05 overage. I love this because if you stock up on coupons and then wait for the sale you can get alot of free stuff!! Things like cereal, toothpaste, fruit roll-ups, toaster struddles, (lots of name brand stuff) I could go on and on!! If you don't see any signs in the store ask the cashier!! Let me know if the stores in your area double or triple coupons.

Deals, Deals, Deals

Sorry, I've been out of town for a few days and could not access a computer!! There are a few really good deals out there this week.
1. Kellogg's Cereal- Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, and Wild Animal Crunch for .98!! (Super 1 Food) There is a limit of three, so if you want to stock up bring some guests!!
2.Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, or Fanta 5 for $11.00. Limit 5 (Albertsons)
3. In the newspaper I saw some good Quaker granola bars coupons-buy 2 get $1.00 off. May not seem like a good deal right now, but Albertsons has a big Quaker sale a few times a year where everything (quick oats, oatmeal, granola bars, etc.) is $1.00, actually making them only .50!! I love this sale!!
4. Ads come out on Wednesday, (one of my favorite days of the week) so let's cross our fingers for some great deals!!
5. I had a few questions on the Wal-Mart price matching and printed ads, as far as price matching, it is in the policy so if they deny you ask to speak to the manager. Wal-Mart will take ads if you print them off the internet, only if the date is shown on the ad.

Save-A-lot

I just called to request my ad for Save-A-Lot and it turns out they do not mail these out, they only come out in the Greenville newspaper. (because they are locally owned) So if anybody recieves this ad and sees any good deals we would love to hear about them!!
