What Can $42.72 Buy You?

What was supposed to be a quick trip into Walmart turned into an all afternoon ordeal!  It took nearly an hour again just for the cashier to scan my order.  The company has a great idea about doubling the coupons but MUST get a better system in place.  After going through this on Saturday, I knew what to expect and had every item separated and the corresponding coupon with it.  The cashier I had today had no clue how to do the double coupons so I explained how it worked.  She didn't know whether to believe me or not so she got a supervisor who didn't know how to do it either.  The supervisor told me I was wrong but when she checked with the assistant manager, she realized I did know what I was talking about.  Some of the things she was confused about didn't have to do with doubling coupons but just basic Walmart Coupon Policy.  I guess maybe she had better read and print herself a copy like mine!  :-)

My daughter, Shelby, had a cart of items for her kits to take to the homeless shelter.  After all the craziness, I didn't want to confuse anyone anymore so we didn't separate the order after they rang all her things. 

She is dying to start putting the kits together but we still need some items.  If anyone has some coupons like the ones we are using to get charity items and would like to send them to us, please email me.  Coupons for items such as toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, etc. that are for 50 and 75 cents seem to work the best since they will double.  Also the coupons that do not exclude trial sizes are great.

My total would have been less but Shelby reminded me once we were there that she was out of Allegra. I had a coupon but didn't have time to check the ads so I could price match.  I am sure someone had it cheaper but....

All of the items below had coupons except for the berries, cheese and Dr. Pepper.  We also purchased some candy without a coupon but a little girl ate that before we got home and took the pictures!  Several of the items were price matched and double coupons to make a great deal.  For example, by  price matching and using a coupon that doubled, each jar of peanut butter was only 16 cents.  The buns were 48 cents,  toothbrushes 25 cents, toothpaste free, deodorant free, etc. 

All in all, I think it was a good day couponing!
