Walmart-I triple dog dare you!

Earlier today, I blogged about some coupons & sales at DG and included a link to a $5 off $25 coupon. Well, it’s not on Walmart’s coupon policy, but other bloggers have noted that in some areas, they will  accept competitors’ coupons. So technically, they should accept the $5 off $25 this Saturday. If I was going to Walmart anyway, I’d take the coupon and try. Can’t hurt, right? But I wouldn’t bank on saving the $5 either, as I have read on multiple boards that Walmart cashiers are not honoring this policy. Check your local Walmart ad.

Malt O Meal cereal

Recently there were $1 off 1 and $2 off 2 coupons for Malt O Meal cereal. Quite often Walmart will have this brand of cereal for $1, so free.

The other day in Acme I noticed, while looking at the hot cereal section, that Malt O Meal does have a line of hot, instant oatmeals on the market. There’s only five pouches in a box, as compared to other brands, but it was only $1. I have not tried to purchase this with the coupons either, so not positive it will work, but worth a try if you prefer this over cold cereal.

Proctor & Gamble gift sets

It’s that time of the year again…..time when couponers on chat boards everywhere talk about their free or almost free gift sets that they got at Walmart. And after several years of being disappointed, I am not even trying. Here’s how it usually works:

Day after Xmas, Walmart marks down their gift sets, including all the P&G ones, 50% off–and they’re usually only $8-$10 to begin with. This would be Fusion, Olay, Herbal Essences, etc. There are always corresponding coupons–either $4 off Fusion, $2-$5 off Olay…..then you purchase it really cheap and peruse the web for rebates.

For some reason, every time I check them at the Kennett Walmart, they have NEVER been marked down. Ever. And I’ve checked the past 3 or 4 years. But if you’re out doing returns or post-holiday shopping, you may want to check it out.

Walmart price matching for Black Friday

I’ve read in several places that Walmart is price matching on Black Friday. Even other stores’ Black Friday doorbuster/loss leader deals. I wouldn’t expect it to be without hassle in some cases, but if you don’t want to run all over town, it’s worth a shot!
