*UPDATED* Wal-mart policy change?

Could Wal-mart possibly be getting their act together and start to be more coupon friendly?  Did you notice that there was some new wording on this week's Wal-mart ad?  Go grab your ad, I will wait.....OK, take a look in the upper right hand corner.  There's some wording in black that is very interesting.  It's in regard to their price match policy, but they have added something else that's new.  It states "We'll match the price of any local competitor's printed ad or coupon for an identical product."  WOW!!!  I need to start paying more attention to the Target and Walgreen's coupons - this could be good! 

As with any coupon usage at Wal-mart, I remain skeptical about this, so hang onto this ad and bring it with you if you are going to try to use competitor coupons at Wal-mart.  They will most likely give us a hard time about it until the stores realize this has changed.  I also remain skeptical that Wal-mart will let us "stack" a manufacturer coupon with a competitor store coupon.  If you get to try this before I get out to Wal-mart please come back and let us know how it worked out for you.  Good Luck!! :)

UPDATE:  I e-mailed Paul over at Iheartthemart.com to get his opinion on this policy change since he seems to be the expert Wal-mart deal seeker.  He must have had quite a few readers contact him because he's got a post up now about it.  Check out what he has to say about it here.
