**UPDATE** New Walmart Coupon Policy

Walmart has updated their coupon policy again. Make sure you print off and put in your binder. The new policy states there is NO LIMIT to coupon transactions... but it states the register will prompt a manager at 40 coupons! So, just make sure you take your policy with you. Now.... if we can only get them to double..... ;o)

Walmart is also no longer accepting competitor catalinas for cents/dollars/percentage off the entire basket order.

Hint: If you are using EBT, WIC or SNAP, make two separate orders. You will not receive cash back for EBT, WIC or SNAP, therefore make sure you separate this order from one that you may get cash back on.

    How Much Dough Is In My Paper???



    This weekend I thought I'd do a little experiment.
    As an avid couponer, I knew there are LOTS of savings in each Sunday Paper.
    But I wanted to know just how much I could save per paper!

    I pulled out this week's SmartSource, RedPlum, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS and Kmart sales ads.
    Quickly, I added up the savings from coupons, store register rewards and rebates! I excluded most BOGO coupons unless I was pretty familiar with the product.
    Boy, was I shocked with the total!

    RiteAid
    Coupons - $82.25
    Up Rewards - $93
    Rebates - (I haven't even included)

    Walgreens
    Coupons - $99.21 (at least)
    Register Rewards - $50
    Rebates - $9.99

    CVS
    Extra Care Bucks - $106.50

    Kmart
    Shop Your Way Coupon - $5
    Kmart Coupon - $29.99

    SmartSource
    Restaurants - $15
    Manufacturers Coupons - $44.20 (at least)

    RedPlum
    Coupons - $69.01 (at least)

    That's over $600 savings!!!!!

    Now this isn't to say you will buy every one of these products, but the potential savings is there!
    How can you afford to NOT take a look at these savings.

    Call me crazy, but there were three coupons in this week's paper I REALLY wanted. 

    1) The Yokisoba Pasta has a $.50 coupon. In my local Kroger, it doubles to $1.00
    I can usually get these for between $.10 and FREE.
    This week, with coupon they were only $.05!!!!
    2) Colgate has a $1 off any coupon
    If I wait, Colgate will be on sale for $1 or less!
    Therefore, my toothpaste is FREE!!!!
    3) Right Guard has a BOGO coupon
    They are on sale BOGO, so after tax, I pay $.12!!!!!

    Of course there are many more sales than this, 
    but these were the ones that IMMEDIATELY caught my eye!
    I knew I HAD to have these deals
    How many Sunday papers did I buy?????

    THIRTY!!!

    Yep, thirty!!! My savings will far surpass my temporary investment! My family will have more in the stockpile
    AND
    We can donate to the shelters!

    And for those having trouble doing the math.... I spent $1.87/paper. That's over $18,000 savings potential for less than $60 investment!
