Walmart Price Match -Case Lot Sales

This past week there have been Case Lot sales going on. This is a great time to price match at Walmart for a few reasons:
1. Low price per each on items
2. If you don't need 48 cans of Tuna, you can just buy what you need.
3. If you only have enough coupons for a few, then just get a few.



This trip was all price matched from the Smith's Case Lot ad (still going on through 09/20) . In order to price match you will need to bring the ad to the store. Here the break down.

Bumble Bee Tuna - Smith's Case Lot 65¢ per can
Used $1/2 Bumble Bee Tuna printed from www.recyclebank.com
= 15¢ per can

Campbell's Chicken Noodle or Tomato Soup - Smith's Case Lot 59¢ per can

Learning the Basics of Couponing

There are so many great resources out there on how to coupon. One that I used when I was getting started was the ABC's of Couponing. Here are a couple of basics:

Coupons are available in three main places: newspapers, mail (Red Plum comes on Tuesday) and internet site.
Don't feel like you are cheating the stores when you use coupons to get a good deal. Stores get reimbursed from manufacture coupons.
Prices/Deals vary by region. Just because you see a deal online, doesn't always mean that it will be the case at your location.

Take a look and see what you can learn.


Coupon Database

One tool that I have started to utilize is a coupon database. A coupon database is a list of just about every coupon available anywhere. I have been using the one from Cuckoo for Coupon Deals. It is easy to search and makes quick work of coupon hunting. For example, if there is a sale on Colgate Toothpaste, I just search Colgate and it brings up every coupon available and where to find it. Try it out and post your favorite coupon find.
