A few reader updates on Wal-Mart deals…

Wal-mart had their Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauce on sale for $1.50. With
recent $1/1 coupons from inserts that is a pretty good deal (there are also coupons here). Normal
price is $1.78, I think.

The Wal-Mart in Battle Creek, MI had the
Buddies soaps down to $0.87 a bar–this makes the $2/2 buddies
product a coupon an even better deal! I also was able to
have them match Rite-Aid’s Nexcare children’s bandaid sale price of
$0.99 and I used $1.00 off coupon I had from a few Sunday’s ago!
And finally, Deana said:
I just got back from Wal-Mart and they had all the 32 oz Powerades
for $0.60 here in metro Atlanta. With the $0.75 coupon, that’s a moneymaker!

If you’re like me and really only have a Wal-Mart then ad matching is a great thing to do. Tonight I ad matched Exedrin PM from Kroger. It is 1.99 and we have a $2 off coupon from a recent paper. Free stuff is great!!
Pasta looks like a great deal. I wish I got some powerade coupons. I don’t think I want to spend as much as they are going for right now on eBay either. Oh-well.
The Powerade is .60 here in southeastern Virginia, too. I don’t get the paper, so I don’t have the coupon, but I noticed the price because I’d seen you talking about it here! lol
I forgot to mention that it is the pasta sauce in the pouch. Sorry.
We have a close group of friends we enjoy socializing with. However, the children in the group range in age from 6 to 16 years old. Trying to get together and do anything which includes the children can be challenging. We recently discovered puzzles and a movie. The movie is there if we feel like watching – the puzzle is on the table and everyone kind of moves around it when they feel like it. The kids can come and go as their attention spans demand. With a game, everyone has to sit and stay until the game is over. This doesn’t always work well with the little one! A puzzle provids a gathering place without all the pressure!
My Wal-Mart finally had some bags of $1.00 Malt-o-meal cereal. I had a few $1.50 coups left, so it was a moneymaker for me!
Went to my local WM yesterday, where I found Loreal hair color shrink wrapped in sets of two and priced for $9.97. I also had a $5.00 coupon from the insert in the Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago. Awesome deal! Now I’ll be gray free for more than two months!
I am royally ticked with WalMart today. I am relatively new to the couponing thing, but even in the short time I’ve been doing it I’ve had major problems using my coupons! Today, I was at Wal-Mart and was told by the cashier that I could not use 3 coupons which were for more than the purchase prices of my items. I explained to her that I’ve done this several times before without problems and if she needed to adjust the coupons to only the purchase prices of the items, it would be A-OK with me. She wandered over to her CSM while the shoppers in the ever-growing line glowered at me and came back to inform me that I would not be able to use those coupons at all. I politely asked to speak to the CSM (who looked like she was about 12) and she was unwaivering, though she said she would suspend my transaction so that I could wait in the mile-long customer service line to speak to a store manager about it. I was running short on time, so I finally told her to take those items off, give me my coupons back and I’d be on my way. I flagged down a manager on my way out who informed me that they do not even accept internet coupons because they are considered copies. I told him that I’ve used them many times at Wal-Mart stores, that they are not copies, they are not unlimited and they are legitimate manufacturer’s coupons. I am so sick of every employee thinking what they want to about these coupons, but there seems to be no official position about them. One woman, who was a star cashier, looked at me like I was trying to defraud WalMart, because she had never even heard of internet coupons! I’ve had issues at Target, also, where I was allowed to use them, though the cashier made it sound like she was letting me get by with something that she’s not supposed to do. I am so frustrated right now. I am seriously contemplating emailing Wal-Mart’s corporate customer service to get their official procedures on internet coupons so I can print it off and take it with me in my coupon binder for such occasions!
Forgive me for venting like this, but has anyone had these problems and how on earth did you handle them???
