My Krazy Coupon Days 7/31/11

I need to tell you about my latest savings with coupons. I got a call from my friend Raquel to tell me there was this great coupon for Head & Shoulders. It was a Buy1Get1Free up to $12.99. She told me she had called several Wal-Marts and because this coupon had a $ amount they would give me money back! I have to tell you that I didn't understand what she was talking about. I went online and read Wal-Marts coupon policy and it stated:


"If coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the excess may be given to the customer as cash or applied toward the basket purchase."


You can imagine my excitement! I went to Coupon Clippers a great website where we can buy extra coupons and ordered 8 more coupons. I went to my local Walmart and bought 2 Head & Shoulders just to see if it was true and when I went to pay I didn't pay a penny and received $2.82 back! I thought there had been a mistake but no this is the way Walmart's policy is written and to my friend's surprise and mine most of the manager's don't know it and don't follow it! After about 3 weeks of getting FREE shampoo and Schick Razors ($13.99 value) my local Walmart changed it's policy and no longer followed the company's written policy. I didn't argue about it because I knew they had made up their minds. I did read the companies policy to the manager (over the phone) she said she didn't know about it, but their decision would stand. 
Long story short Walmart doesn't follow their coupon policy and it's up to us the shopper to decide if we want to shop there or not. But before they made their change I was able to get a total of 10 Head & Shoulders Shampoo and Conditioners completely FREE and 2 Schick Razors for FREE! a $69.60 Value and received $19.51 in cash back! 




The Krazy Coupon Lady has this to say:


"Walmart definitely has its ups and downs when shopping with coupons. In an effort to really help you learn about getting krazy at Walmart, the following information is not sugar coated. Depending on your area, you may love or hate Walmart. I have Walmart stores in my area that I choose not to shop at, and I have Walmart stores I shop at occasionally. Deciding if Walmart is worth your time will be entirely up to you. I hope your local Walmart treats you well!" Follow the Krazy Coupon Lady link for more Walmart coupon information.


My Freebies don't end here...Rite Aid had the Tylenol Heat patch for $4.99 on sale and I had a $5.oo coupon, that meant I just had to pay .38cents for tax. I love this!!!!!


Here is what I was able to buy

I bought a total of $78.48 for .38 cents and made a total of $19.51 in Overage

I say not too bad for my second Krazy Coupon Days. 

Now tell me how have you been saving lately?
