In March of 2011 Wal-Mart rolled out a brand new coupon policy. The gist of it is that they now allow you to use other stores coupons and give you a overage for a coupon with a higher value than the purchase price of the item. This allows us more freedom with the coupons we use and a possible way to either make money or make up for our more expensive purchases like laundry detergent.
As of this year Wal-Mart also started a match it campaign claiming that, "If you ever find a lower advertised price somewhere else, Wal-mart will match it." This can be a great way to save, say you see a deal in another stores ad that you don't usually shop at. But tonight your going to Wal-mart and you can pick that item up with your regular groceries. Plus with there new coupon policy maybe even get a better deal with a coupon stacked on top of that price match.
Here are printable versions of Wal-Marts new Coupon Policy and Price Match Policy
I suggest printing them out and taking them with you to the check out. Unfortunately Wal-Mart dose not actively teach there new policies to the cashiers, so to save some time just show these policies to the cashier if they have not been informed of these changes.
