Very important info before you go to the store with your coupons

Many store clerks and cashiers don't know their own corporate coupon policies. Be sure to print a copy of your store's coupon policy before going.


I personally only go to Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and Pick&Save, so I have included links to their coupon policy here:

Walmart's coupon policy:
http://walmartstores.com/7655.aspx
Walmart's price matching policy:
http://walmartstores.com/7659.aspx

The best new change to Walmart's coupon policy is their "overage" policy. This means that if you have a .97c item, and you use a $1.00 coupon, not only do you get it free, they give you the .03 back on your basket balance. 
Another thing you may not know is this:
Walmart Accepts Checkout coupons

• (also called "Catalinas") that are printed at our competitors' registers, have "Manufacturer Coupon" with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code.

 What does this mean? Simply that, yes, you CAN take your Register Rewards from Walgreen's and use them at Walmart. (Remember you can only use 1 coupon PER item, so you may need 'filler' items).

(The dates on this one are a little weird, they still allow doubling on both Weds AND Saturday in our area, call your local store to find out if they double for you too!)
One note about Pick&Save is they DO NOT accept printed 'free' or 'bogo' coupons.
