New Walmart Coupon Policy
Here is a copy of Walmart's new coupon policy. The best change is that they will now accept competitors coupons for a specific product for a specific price. There are coupons in the Walgreen's paper every week, so if your Walmart accepts them as a competitor this could really benefit you. I recommend taking a copy of the policy with you. With the high turnover rate at retail stores the cashiers are often unfamiliar with the store coupon policy.

My next stop was Walgreens.

My last stop was Dillards. It is Clinique bonus week. Plus, today only if they were giving out small jars of eye cream.
Now I just need to get my list together for the mega event at Kroger! ◦
