Weekly Walmart Trip 11/7
I had a great trip this morning! I love shopping early because then I don’t worry about the people behind me. I forgot to check the Halloween section for clearance prices, but they did have a few items in the baby department. The onesies and pajamas hanging up were $0.80 each! There is also one Dr. Pepper missing from the picture because I handed it over to the cashier. Of course I had to pick the line with a new cashier being trained. I didn’t realize it until it was too late to back out. I was afraid I was putting too much on her plate by price matching, but by the end of it I was glad I went to her line. I kinda broke her in so to say! She did a great job and so did her trainer! Thanks!

Walmart Coupon Policy Change
Walmart Coupon Policy
There has been a lot of chatter lately about the Walmart Coupon Policy. Have they changed their policy? Do they still accept internet printable coupon? Is it now necessary to bring in your ad to price match? Can you price match and use a coupon on the same item? So, many more questions, but to make this short and hopefully answer them all, Paul over at I Heart The Mart wrote a great article that I want you to take a look at.
One of the problems that Walmart is facing is FRAUD. That is why it is so important to be honest in all your dealings, and follow ALL the rules! No making copies of coupons, no price matching stores that they do not accept a competitor, not lying about prices, and so on. When you do these things, it makes it harder for stores and cashiers to believe any couponer, even the most honest ones! It also makes them tighten up when dealing with coupons and price matching.
If you don’t have any other stores to shop at, then you should be thankful for the Walmart Coupon Policy. It is actually a great policy, and you can save a lot of money by using it the right way. Now, with saying that, I know that not all of the cashiers are the friendliest people to interact with. But, not everybody in life is! You just have to deal with it. As I mention in all my classes, when cashier profiling you need to look for one thing in a cashier. A SMILE. Nothing else. If they do not already have a smile on their face, then pick another checkout lane!
