Wal-Mart Bargain Brag – $21 worth for $3.50!


If you haven’t check out Wal-Mart’s New Coupon Policy, you should!

The new coupon policy allows for overages. Meaning, if the value of the coupon is more than the value of the item, you will still get the value of the coupon taken off your order.

The Similac bottles were $3.84. I had a coupon for $5 off any Similac purchase. Usually stores will either (a) deny the coupon or (b) manually enter the coupon value as the cost of the item still making the item free (of course, the store still gets the face value of the coupon back.

So here’s how it looks:
4 Similac @ 3.84 each = $15.36
2 Gerber Snacks @ $3 each = $6.00

Total: $21.36

– (4) $5 off Similac Coupons
= $20 off my order even though the value of the Similac was only $15.36!

I used the other items to “absorb my overage”.

After my $20 in coupons, my total was $1.36. Tax was $2.14 (10% of the pre-coupon price..UGH!) so final cost was $3.50.

I am donating these items. More on that later!
