More Walmart deals

I’ve said before that I’m not a Walmart fan, but I know that there are some of you who are limited on grocery store options or who like Walmart, so I thought I’d share this link. She has matched up everyday prices of items at Walmart with coupons and lists a number of things (pet, grocery, health & beauty, pets, etc.) that are free or very cheap.

Here’s the link:

*Keep in mind that prices vary from one area to the next. I know that some of these items are more expensive in my area.

Walmart & All You Magazine

This is basically a repost from our family blog, but not everyone who visits this blog visits that blog, and I thought this was worth sharing:

About a year ago, I discovered a magazine called “All You.” It is only sold at Walmart, and it is $1.77. I personally hate Walmart (I can’t stand the crowds, the lack of cashiers, or how dirty it usually is, and I usually get much better deals at many other places, but that’s just a personal thing), so I ended up getting a subscription, which was $10/year. Anyway, the magazine is mainly filled with coupons which is why I get it.

The past few months have been pretty disappointing, but the newest issue has some really great coupons.The ones I was most excited about are:

Crystal Light FREE WYB (when you buy) 3 kraft, nabisco, or oscar mayer products
KRAFT salad dressing (same wording as crystal light)
KRAFT singles (same wording as crystal light)
NABISCO wheat thins (same wording as crystal light)
Oscar Mayer hot dogs (same wording as crystal light)

Kool Aid is a “Kraft” product. If you buy 3 Kool Aid packets (which are .10-.20 around here), you can get the free item listed on the coupon. So, for $4.77 (the cost of the magazine plus the 15 packets of Kool Aid), you can get Crystal Light, Kraft Salad dressing, Kraft cheese slices, Nabisco wheat thins, and Oscar Mayer hot dogs. Also, check the free up to value amounts. I always get the largest sizes I can (for the wheat thins, it ends up being the family size box).Also, if you happen to shop at Kroger and pay attention to the monthly totals that go toward your .10 off fuel discount, they look at your total BEFORE coupons.I guess this is only a “deal” of course, if your family thrives on processed and packaged foods which I guess I should be embarrassed to say that mine does?…..

If you decide to get this magazine, make sure you are buying the most recent issue. I will try to post a picture of the cover later today. If you look in the back, there is a page that lists all of the coupons.
