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 Frugal Day

I had lots of errands to run today. Fortunately, all these stores were within a mile of each other.

I started at CVS.

Bounty 12 Big Rolls $13
2 Puffs $3.00 ($1.50 each)

less $1 Charmin coupon (from P&G book)

less .50 Irish Spring coupon from 3/13 paper
Total after coupons (before tax) $25.96.  I received $12 in ECB ($10 for P&G and $2 for Irish Spring.) 

Transaction #2
I purchased Olay eye cream and some candy.  I used my ECBs from transaction #1.  My out of pocket was less than $1.

My next stop was Walgreens.

Transaction:

Purex fabric softener crystals $4.99 - I used the $2 coupon from today's paper and received a $2 RR, so the actual cost was .99 cents
Renuzit Air Freshening Crystals $3.99 - I used the $3 coupon from today's paper so the cost was .99 cents
Revlon mascara on sale for $4.19 - I used a $1 Walgreens coupon for a final price of $3.19

My next stop was Old Navy.  I had printed out two $5/25 coupons this morning, so I was able to save $10 on purchase.  Plus, they gave me two 30% off coupons that are good starting tomorrow.

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! ◦
