FREE Wilkinson Disposable Razors @ Walmart

It seems as if I have been at Walmart everyday for the past few days!  With opening our pool and needing chemicals, unexpected prescriptions to pick up and a few necessities I think I have been there for three days in a row.  I hope to have a break tomorrow.

Anyway, I have a money making FREEBIE for you!  The 4 pack of Wilkinson Classic Twin disposable razors for men or women are .97 each.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from Coupons.com at zip code 62946 to get these FREE with .03 overage to do with as you please.  These may be a little hard to find, look on the bottom row of the razor aisle, in the bins, not on pegs with the expensive razors.  There is a men's version in a blue bag, and the women's version is pictured above.  My store had plenty of stock on both of these.

While I was there I noticed they restocked the Nexcare bandages, so I grabbed a few more of these also.  At least now if I cut myself shaving with these FREE razors, I have plenty of bandages to use!  :)

FREE Nexcare Bandages @ Walmart and an Update

Just in time for all those summertime cuts and scrapes we have FREE bandages!  Use this $1.00 off coupon at Walmart for these Nexcare $1.00 bandages. This is a .pdf coupon so print as many as you think you need for the summer, and think back-to-school too! You might want to save this one to your computer for future use, it has a nice long expiry date.   (note: if you are shopping at MY Walmart there's only two left on the shelf)

And then an update on the $1  blackberries I posted about yesterday;  they are gone!  The new shipment came in and now they are $2.48.  I wanted to get a few more packages because they were delish...I missed the boat on that one.  :-(

I did, however price match some more soda for 4/$8.  Even with no coupons that is a great sale!  We are stocked for most of the summer now with all types of soda.

Good Deal Alert - Berries and Soda @ Walmart

My Walmart (Belvidere, IL) had 1 pound packages of Dole strawberries and 12 oz. packages of blackberries for $1.00 each today.  This is an awesome price for berries, in season or not!  If you happen to be at Walmart grab a few packages and make a yogurt parfait....YUM!  Report back if you find them at other Walmart stores so everyone can benefit from this great price.

By the way, these berries look spectacular too!  Sometimes when you see them this cheap they are over ripe and mushy or even sometimes starting to get moldy.  Not these, they are firm and vibrant in color!

Next, if you can get your hands on a Jewel ad you can price match for an awesome deal on soda through the end of the day on Wednesday (tomorrow).  Jewel has Coke and Pepsi products on sale for 4/$8 with a $20 purchase.  Today I price matched 8 - 12 packs of both products with no problems.  They weren't  even concerned about looking closely at the ad so I am guessing they would not notice that a $20 grocery purchase is part of the sale.  If you have coupons this is an even sweeter deal!  I had a $3 Pepsi coupon from a local grocers ad and a $2 Coke coupon from a Jewel coupon booklet.  In the end I paid $11 for 8 - 12 packs.

Walmart Deals - 4/20

There's a couple good deals with coupons at Wal-mart this week that I wanted to share with you. 

First we have the Nivea men's and women's body washes priced at $3.00 each.  In the 4/17 RP insert there are two $3.00 off coupons, one for men's and one for women's.  Body wash is something that you rarely have to pay for!

Next, these B1G1F packages of Lysol wipes are $2.92.  Use the $1.50 off coupon from Facebook to get these for $1.45 or .72 each.  Remember you can hit the "back" button and print it twice!  Pretty good deal.

My store has the individual packages of cheddar, string and pepper jack Frigo cheese for .33 each.  You can gain some overage with this if you use the .50 off any Frigo product coupon from the 4/17 SS insert.  Each one will get you .17 back. 

White Cloud 4 double roll packs are $2.00 each.  Use the $1.00 off any White Cloud coupon from the May AY magazine to get these for .25 a double roll, my target price for TP.  This coupon is a thicker card type coupon that you can pull out of the magazine.

Purex Complete softener crystals are $3.97 each, so if you use the $2.00 off coupon from the 3/13 RP to get these for $1.97. 

Lastly, my store has had Dole strawberries priced at either $1.00 or $1.50 per container for quite some time now.  The price varies from week to week.  I suggest grabbing these and making some strawberry shortcake!  They also freeze really well.

Walmart Saga Continued (& Hopefully Over)

Yesterday I went to my Walmart (Belviere, IL) and was told I wasn't allowed to use any RR as they were OYNO coupons. I paid and then asked to talk to the manager. I spoke with the front end manager who told me it was the 'managers descretion' part of the policy to no longer take them. They had a meeting that morning with all the cashiers and they won't take them. I asked her to show me that part, but she couldn't (obviously because it isn't there). I left and called 1-800-walmart to voice my problem and got into more into the issue than planned.

The receptionist at 1-800-Walmart gave me the number for the manager of the mananger at my Walmart to call, so I did. He was surprised at the policy change especially the part about 'managers discretion'. He also had no idea what a catalina was and told me he'd look into it and call me back.

Today I received a call from Monty, the manager at my Walmart. We discussed the issue again and he was also surprised by the 'managers discretion' since it wasn't from him. He also didn't know what a catalina was so asked if next time I was at Walmart to talk with him and show him.

So of course this afternoon I went to Walmart, bought a few things, tried to pay with RR, got the same story, and asked to see him. He was a wonderful person to talk with and truly had no clue about catalinas, but was willing to listen. I showed him RR, Hilander cats, Target cats, and Target store catalinas. He even asked to keep a few to make copies for his cashiers.

So .... MY WALMART WILL NOW TAKE ALL CATALINAS, EVEN OYNO ONES SUCH AS RR. They will follow all the guidelines of their new policy. The one thing you will have to watch is that you have one item per coupon as stated on the catalinas (similar to how Wags works). If you run into any trouble at my Walmart, please ask to speak with Monty or Theresa, his assistant manager who I also spoke with.

Hopefully this is the last we'll have to worry about this issue, but it's Walmart, so if you run into any other coupon issues or successes (especially at my Belvidere Walmart), please leave a message here. Now that I am on a first name basis with this manager, I hopefully can resolve or at least get an answer quickly.

Walmart - UGH!

Oh, Walmart how you have let me down once again!  And here I thought we had kissed and made up for good.....

Sunday (yes, I am a little behind in getting this out to you!) I had to make an evening run to Walmart to pick up some essentials.  We were out of milk, bananas, bread, salad, etc.  After a busy weekend I was not happy about having to go, but I thought that I could just get in and out with no hassle...WRONG!

First, the store was out of lots of things, who runs out of 1% and whole milk?!?!  Produce was really picked over too, and so was the bread.  I was starting to think that there was some sort of natural disaster predicted that I didn't hear about and peeps were running to the stores to stock up. 

Once I had what I needed, I hit the check out line with four $3 Register Rewards that I had intended on paying with...DENIED!!  The cashiers would only allow ONE RR per transaction because they were interpreting the policy of "one per purchase" as meaning "one per transaction".  Didn't I just use $39 in RR's in ONE transaction here?  I stated my case a little bit, but I was so worn down from the the weekend that I didn't have much left in me to put up a good fight.  After the cashier called over a customer service supervisor, who also denied me, I gave up - I used ONE RR and went on my merry way. 

Now I need to sit down and draft an email to Walmart corporate regarding my experience and using Catalina coupons at their store.  This is not something I want to just let go because the potential for using RR's at Walmart is really beneficial to me and several of my frugal friends.  Just another thing to add to my ever growing list of things to do.

Walmart - New Coupon Policy Update

I stopped in over at Walmart today to try out the new coupon policy.  I was prepared for a "discussion" with a supervisor or manager in regards to my coupons but I was pleasantly surprised.  I had planned to use several Catalina coupons for $XX off items, Register Rewards and several coupons that would get overage. 

I scoped out my favorite, coupon friendly cashier and asked her if she had seen the new policy.  At first, she actually thought I was joking!  She had been off on Sunday and Monday and heard nothing about it.  I shared my copy with her and away we went. 

The register did not beep on any coupons above the value of the item so Walmart must have reset their registers for this, next the Catalina $XX off items coupons scanned perfectly and lastly, the $39 in Register Rewards I used worked perfectly.  The RR's are taken off as cash and they are not even scanned at the register.  I was able to spend RR's on things like milk, bananas and clothing.

To really test this out,  I had to do one more thing.  My last total was $1.01 so I handed her a $5 RR.  She put it in as a cash payment and gave me back $3.99 in change. 

Walmart, you have redeemed yourself and I take back all the negative things I have said/posted about you in the past (for now anyway!).  ;-)

Wal-mart Clearance

I stopped over at Wal-mart today to pick up some photos and prescriptions so I wandered around the store a bit looking for some good finds.  I ran across many clearance items worth bragging about!  There's lots of kids clothing on clearance right now, so if you like to shop ahead and get next season's clothes cheap, now is the time to buy!

First, I found these cuddly footed jammies for boys and girls marked down to $1.75 - $3.00 a pair.  They had a wide range of sizes from 0-5T.  This is surely a stock up price!  I didn't venture into the bigger kids sizes, but I plan to stop back there tomorrow when I have a bit more time to check out other departments.

Next I found an array of shirts marked down to $1.00 - $3.00 each.  There were all sorts of shirts, not just long sleeve winter type shirts.  There were short sleeve summer shirts mixed in!  These two shirts were only $1 each. 

I pretty much only checked out the little kids department today, but there were loads of racks down the center aisles with clearance items on them, from winter coats to sweats and hats and gloves.  Why wait until next season when this stuff is full price - go grab what you need for next year now and save yourself about 70-90% off!  If you have lots of kids to buy gifts for through out the year this would be a good time to stockpile some gifts too!

Walmart Clearance

I just was at the Walmart in Belvidere and checking out the clearance section (over by seasonal stuff). They had lots of toys there at pretty good prices, but the thing that made me really excited was to find clearance school uniform clothing! There are currently twin packs of short sleeve polo shirts (in white and dark blue) on clearance for $3...that's $1.50 a shirt!! There was a good variety of sizes, more so for boys than girls.

FREE Chex Party Mix Seasoning @ Wal-mart

Wal-mart once again has FREE packets of Chex Party Mix Seasonings.  I found this display in the center aisle of my Wal-mart store on the grocery side.  There was a pallet of various Chex cereals for $2.00 a box and this display box was nestled in with the boxes of cereals.  Stop by Wal-mart and grab some of these before they are all gone!

Current Wal-mart Deals

I have a few current Wal-mart deals to report for you today so grab your list...here we go!

First, we have more FREE razors, with overage of course!  Clip the $2.00 off ANY Bic razor from the November ALL YOU magazine and the 10/17 SS.  These cute little travel packs are .97 each so with the right cashier you will have $1.03 in overage to spend.  (I picked up an extra November ALL YOU with my overage and used the coupon from inside for some more FREE razors!)

While you are in the travel/trial area be sure to grab these packets of Tide for .97 each.  Use the $1.00 off ANY one Tide coupon from the 10/31 PG for another .03 in overage and a FREE load of laundry.  Much to my surprise (and my favorite cashier's surprise) this coupon DID NOT beep this time around!  :)  No beeps at the register is a good thing!

Now, here's  a really super deal that my frugal friend Nicole pointed out to me.  Grab the following products:
*2 (two) - PH Balance Secret deodorants for $1.74 each (I found them all the way on the bottom shelf)
*2 (two) - Olay body wash for $3.87 each
*1 (one) - Old Spice body spray for $3.97

You will need to bring along the following coupons from the 10/31 PG insert:  (none of these beeped at the register)
*2 (two) - $5.00 of body wash wyb Secret deodorant
*1 (one) - Buy 2 Secret deodorant and get Old Spice Spray FREE. 

Here's how the transaction will play out on the receipt:
$1.74 x 2 = $3.48 (deodorant)
$3.87 x 2 = $7.74 (body wash)
$3.97 x 1 = $3.97 (spray)
TOTAL = $15.19
then subtract your coupons:
-$10.00 for body wash coupons
-$3.97 for spray coupon
TOTAL = $13.97
TOTAL OOP = $1.22 for 5 items or .25 each. (not including tax).

Lastly, I used my $1.50 off Coffee-mate printable coupons (no longer available) to grab some of the large bottles of Original Coffee-mate for $1.03 each.  Not FREE but something that I use a lot of so this was a necessity since I see a lot of coffee in my future!   There is a .75 off printable at the Coffee-mate website under the "offers" tab if you didn't get those $1.50 off printables.

Anyone find any other great deals at Wal-mart lately?

Walmart Freebies and Deals for 10/14

I stopped in over at Wal-mart today to grab some of these great deals:

The Maruchan Yakisoba noodles are .54 each so if you use the .50 off coupon from the 10/10 SS you can snag these for .04 each.  These are great to have on hand for a quick lunch.  There's a couple different flavors of these to choose from. (update: there's also a .50 off coupon in the 8/29 SS insert!)

There are some packages of EcoFriendly White Avery address labels priced at just $4.00.  These packages have 10 sheets with 300 labels in the package.  You can print a $5.00 off Avery labels coupon  here.  That turns these into a $1.00 money maker with the right cashier!

Print a $1.50 off Coffee-mate creamer coupon here.  Some of the small 16 oz. flavored creamers are priced at $1.50 making them FREE or the original Coffee-mate creamer is $1.88 making them .38 each. 

Certain Reach floss are priced at .97 each.  Use the $1.00 coupon from the 10/10 RP to turn this into a .03 money maker.  You can also print a $1.00 off coupon here. 

Single load packets of Tide (in the travel/trial section) are .97 each.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from the 9/26 PG turning this into a .03 MM with the right cashier, of course!

Gain dish soap is .97 for the small size bottle.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from the 10/10 PG insert to make these FREE with a .03 MM.

Lastly, my frugal friend Maria just reported in that she found Men's Speed Stick deodorant for .50 each.  Use the .50 off coupon from the 10/3 SS to make these FREE too! (note: the coupon excludes the .5 oz. product and it's hard to tell from this photo what size this is so you may not have luck with this one - can't hurt to bring the coupon along just in case!)

FREE Post-It Notes @ Wal-mart

Wal-mart still has the $1 Post-It Super Sticky notes so if you haven't already picked up some of these you should do it before they are gone.   I saved a .pdf coupon for $1.00 off making these FREE.  The coupon expires 9/30.  I will gladly share this coupon with you if you would like it, just send me a note.  It's an unlimited print coupon and it does not beep at the register so print as many as you think you will need to stock up for awhile.  The Post-It notes are located in the school supply area which is in a clearance section of the store.  At my store they were back in the area where the gardening supplies are usually kept.
