Walmart: Notes from the “field” + price matching w/o ads!

I thought I’d share my Walmart experience “from the field” this week!  You can check out my Walmart top 25 deals this week here for the scoop on the rest of the hot bargains for the week!

My total OOP for all of these items was $13.11 – not free, but they had a combined retail value of $36.73 and these are all items we will use, so I felt pretty good about it!

This was my first experience with price matching without ads (Walmart recently changed their policy so that you don’t have to bring in the ad when you price match).  I have to admit that I was expecting a headache, but I was pleasantly surprised!  I was price matching the Nabisco cookies (they were 4/$5 at Kroger) and the Kraft salad dressing (it was $1.49 at Randalls).  The cashier not only price matched those items without any problems, but she also TOLD me about a deal at another grocery store on some of the produce items I was purchasing (not pictured) and automatically adjusted the price down on those items, too!  WOW!

I was hoping to get cheap Cheese Nips and Benadryl (see the top 25 deals for details), but sadly they were sold out of both!

Here’s the breakdown on pricing for the other items I bought (remember to check out the Walmart top 25 weekly deals for more match-ups!):

Ball Park Franks – 2/$3
$1/2 Ball Park Franks – 6-5 RP (expires 7-1)
Final Price = $1.13/each after coupon (when you buy 2)

Curad bandages – $.96
$.50/1 Curad product – 5-22 SS, 6-19 SS
Final Price = $.46 after coupon

NYC Eye, Lip & Nail products: Get 7 for as low as $1.04 out of pocket TOTAL (details are here)

Oscar Mayer wieners – $1.68
$1/2 Oscar Mayer hot dogs printable
$1/2 Oscar Mayer hot dogs – 6-19 SS
Final Price = $1.18 each (when you buy 2)

Snuggle dryer sheets – $1.87
$1/1 Snuggle printable
Final Price = $.87 after coupon

Zyrtec (5 ct) – $5.27
$5/1 Zyrtec printable
Final Price = $.27 after coupon

I hope your shopping trips have been a success so far this week!

Target: Top 25 deals for the week of 6/26

Here’s my Target “Top 25? deals of the week. Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area. Always check your local ad to confirm that they have the “weekly deals.”  This was a slow ad week and many of these deals are not in the weekly ad but are “deals” because of “stacking” of Target coupons and manufacture’s couponswhich means your market may vary in terms of pricing – sometimes pricing varies from one store to the next within my own area!  Thanks to Totally Target for the heads up on many of the price cuts!  Make sure you check out the changes to the Target coupon policy here.  Also, Target printables can disappear VERY quickly(sometimes within a few hours), s0 make sure you print the ones you want as soon as they come out!

Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month.  The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears)

Now, you can save 5% when you use your Target Red Card. (This is valid in stores only)

Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.

At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item.The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!
