Meijer & Walmart

I wanted to run and make use of a couple of coupons while I was out & about scoring my free Redbox rentals today. (Code: 6A43JK)

First to Walmart

2 Jello Pudding @ $1 ea
- used a $1/2 from Kraft First Taste mailer
Final: $0.50 ea

2 Ortega Taco Seasoning @ $0.64 ea
- used $1/2 manQ
Final: $0.14 ea

2 Kraft Salad Dressing @ $1.58
- used 2 $1.50 manQ
Final: $0.08 ea

Final OOP: $1.30

Walmart does have pudding regularly priced at $0.50 - my teen just saw this flavor, and really really wanted it. Otherwise my OOP woulda been $0.30 - 'cuz I'm a vanilla girl.




Then to Meijer

2 A1 Marinade is on sale for $1
(I'm in INDY - so my "new" sales won't start till Thursday)
- used $2/1 manQ
Final: FREE

Turns out I could have gone to the Meijer for the Kraft Dressing as well, I don't know if it's a temporary price cut, but it's also priced at $1.58.

Wow... Walmart - Follow Up

Remember this post. It's where I went on a rant about Walmart... Well I did get a call back from a "manager"... well it was actually a voicemail. So I called back - and was put on hold for 5 minutes. On my cell phone - which thrills me to no end. I don't have unlimited minutes- thanks so much. So anyhow - I hung up and called right back... And asked the gal on the other end of the phone to please leave a message for the "manager" that had called me - that I had sat on hold for 5 minutes and to have her call me back when she was available. Great start already, right? GRR

So about an hour later, I get a phone call from a different "manager". She doesn't sound very happy about speaking to me, and isn't interested in hearing what happened at all really. She mainly wanted to explain to me how printable coupons work, and that they've had a lot of fraud issues lately, and that she believes if I am in possession of so many coupons, that it wasn't the best idea to use them all at once. She said that they can refuse coupons if they want to, but that there's no policy really. I attempted to advise her of the policy on Walmart's website, but she was not too interested in what I had to say... But she did said she was sorry that I had my "feelings hurt" (AS IF) and wanted to send me a $20 GC. Well - of course I'll take the card - but still.. WOW? Is that a follow up? I'm thinkin' no... not really. I'm still mad, Walmart is still on my "list" along w/Walgreens...

But I will gladly use that $20 GC and as many of my awesome "free" or high-dollar freebie-producing coupons as I can think of - and reign hell upon Walmart for a day! Either that or I'll waste it on something random lol... you never know w/me.

So I guess we all already ranted about our mistreatment at Walmart and other offending stores... I'd love to hear about the follow-ups you guys have gotten... Good or bad, just let it out!

Wow... Walmart

Ok -- So usually I try to stay on the positive side of things... But the trip I just took to the WalMart has me thinking... How about a post where folks can vent about the most horrible trips they've had recently...

I'll start!!

I've won the Pace Hand Pick & Win Sweepstakes more than once, and since I have more than one computer, I have been able to print the coupons... Deciding to save them up for a trip to the Walmart - I had 10 coupons to use today! Along with that, I decided to use my "Free Suave" Item coupon, a coupon for $3 off Pizza (Liquor Hangtag), 2 $5 off Iams Smart Puppy... and a few misc. items that I didn't have a coupon for.

I get to the checkout line, and am immediately worried, as she's having a hard time crediting the Pizza coupon. Then when it comes time to scan the Pace coupons, she only scans 8 - and insists I have only presented 8 coupons... Whatever!! She then decides that she needs to call her manager over... Ok, I think... I might actually get to leave the store at some point - so cool. HA - If I had known then - what I know now - I would have never set foot in that store. This Assistant Manager (Amy) proceeds to spread all of my coupons out in front of her, and begins to scowl. This lasts about a full minute, before I ask if there's anything wrong. She informs me that my coupons are "internet created" and that 9 times out of 10 - coupons that are "internet created" are actually fraudulent. She then informs me that there's "No way that Campbell's will reimburse us for $4 for Pace Salsa" because the Salsa doesn't even cost that much money. Mind you that I did have a few bottles for less than the $4 amount, but also a couple that were in the $7 range as well. (Think big jugs - this stuff makes great soup) She asks me where I got them, and when I let her know about the Pace contest, she informs me that I have made a mistake, and that they were fraudulent coupons. She then took the time to share with me the information that apparently Walmart does not take coupons that are "uploaded" from the Internet, and that she has a right to refuse use of ANY coupon! Nevermind Corporate policy... She then walks me over to a nearby checkstand and shows me a printout of THIS, and compares my coupon to it. "See it has a barcode, and see here - there's the place where you send it to" "And they printed it 'offline' too" "See we don't send our coupons directly to Campbell's first, we have to send it to a different office first"

At this point my husband and I are just completely mortified that she's really having this loud conversation with us about things she clearly knows NOTHING about... in front of our neighbors, making us sound like CRIMINALS for having the brains to combine Walmarts low prices with my great coupons.

I took my coupons, her name, her DM's name, and what was left of my pride - and left. I'm still upset as a matter of fact. I'm looking forward to a call from corporate tomorrow. What a nightmare...

And since coupon use has become so prevalent, I'm sure stories like mine are all-to-common. Please leave a comment with what's happened to you, what store, etc... We can call it our Vent-a-Thon...

By the way - we went across the street to Meijer and they got my $50 worth of coupons and $20 of our hard-earned cash tonight. Take that Wally World!

$1 off Toaster Strudel!!

Yummy!! These are typically priced @ $1.88 at the Walmart - and they're priced the same at the Meijer this week (starting tomorrow for Indy/Chicaogo'ish areas)... Brick's printable (IE or FF)... sorry no mail option. I love this product, but sadly I RARELY get to have them. In this house, the early bird gets the Toaster Strudel, Bagel-fuls, and yogurt.

I didn't....

I didn't go the the Kmart for Super Doubles.
-- check your ad to see if your store is participating...

I didn't go to the Walgreens to get my free oust...
-- on sale B1G1
-- use B1G1 Q from nov inserts (not the recent one, it's the wrong oust product)

I didn't go to Target to get more SOBE for $0.35 (I already have a $5 Target GC to roll)
-- Buy 10 Sobe @ $1 each
-- use 10 .50/1 manQ (there are hangtag coupons ON the bottles YMMV though)
-- get a $5 GC
-- Pay $5.35 for 10 (or .35 if you already have the $5 to start)

I didn't go to the Target to get my husband his Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos either... They're on sale for $2 combined w/the $1/1 Target Q makes them only 1 dollar... I also wanted to score some really cheap coffee singles (Archer Farms, @ $1.09 - $1.14) using the $1/1 TQ...

I didn't get to go to the WalMart to hunt for those 3D glasses yet either... and that's kind of sad because I live less than a mile away.

I didn't go to the Meijer for rainchecks on items that go off sale today... Electrasol and Tyson Pre-Cooked roasts.

I didn't go the the CVS for the Gold Emblem Cheese Crackers that are on sale and generate ECBs...

Fact is, we got our first snow and it really just took all the desire to leave the house - right out of me. I plan on going tomorrow though, and will have awesome pics to share (i hope).

More Glade?

Apparently WalMart wants to get in on the Glade-Fest... I got a great heads-up from Krissy today... I must share.

I was at Walmart today. They have all their glade scented oil holders and scented oils for 2.00 so if you use your buy one get one free coupon and then your buy two scents get one free, plus the 1.50 off two coupons...its a great deal. I scored a lot of christmas stocking stuffers.

Well, I'd say that's worth investigating!! I'm putting together Christmas bags for the kids' teachers and I think this would be a great addition!!!

Thanks Krissy!!!

Quick Trip to Walmart

Ok so in order to do the runs I needed to do, I had to get to the WalMart to get a new USB Cable so I could PRINT Q's. I have managed to destroy my printer cable, and amazingly enough there's none laying around the house. My next large purchase will indeed be a printer that can hook up to my router so that I don't have to mess with cables anymore. Anyways... I took some of the trusty coupons that are out there with me, figured as long as I had to actually pay for something, I might as well get some stuff free too, right?

Here's the go...

Preparation H Wipes to Go @ 2.94 ea
-- used $3/1 printable
Tuck's Pads @ 2.64 ea
-- used $2/1 printable (coupons.com - use my sidebar plz!!!)
Durex Vibe Ring @ 4.96 ea
-- used $5/1 Q (search slickdeals)
Cinnamon Sticks @ 4.82 ea (OUCH - where can i get this stuff cheap?)
USB cable Ridiculously priced @ 10.97 ea

Now if you're not easily embarrassed and love a good laugh, get all of these items and take your internet printed coupons (totally legit, I might add) to WalMart and really really enjoy the conversation you'll get to have with the cashier and the manager. This is the second time I have purchased the tucks/prep h/durex combination, and both times I have had the fun and excitement of coupon scrutiny. Especially the Durex one... What's this one for? oh there it is, OH... OH OK!

Total OOP: $17.84
