WALMART PRICEMATCH POLICY

Walmart has updated it's pricematch policy - and it's a GOOD thing! Make sure you check it out (and print it) HERE: WALMART PRICEMATCH POLICY

So here it is, a quick rundown of this weeks deals and steals. 

I hope you all got your pepsi coupons before they ran out because this week, wow, what a steal! Pepsi products are on sale at K-Mart for $2.50 a 12 pack making them just $1.50 after the coupon! Now, Walmart does have a policy on these and will only let you buy 4 at a time but there are no rules against going through the line more than once buying 4 each time! Which is what I did - I went through twice and got 8. 

2 liter pepsi next are on sale for .99 at Copps and there were .55 cent coupons to print out also. .44 cents for a 2 liter bottle? Yes please. 

Kotex U Sleek are on sale again this week for .99. Now, on the boxes at Walmart there are $2.00 off coupons. Yep, look at that again - that makes this a $1.01 money maker. 5 free+ boxes scored last night.  

My co-worker/Friend Heidi hooked me up with a couple moneymaker coupons so I was able to score a Playboy bodyspray  ($3.97 - $5.00 coupon), Cherry Vanilla body spray ($2.97 - $3.00 coupon) and Hanes underwear 3 pack for Bella ($3.47 - $2.00 coupon) and so far I'm up money. 

Clean and Clear bodywash at Walgreens on sale for $3.00. Coupon: $1.50 (expired yesterday) 

So here are some deal and steals for YOU all: 

Febreeze Car Air Freshner  $2.97 ($1.00 off coupon in yesterday's paper) These are WONDERFUL by the way. I use these in my cars and LOVE them. I bought 5 more yesterday 

Schick Hydro Razor and Shaving cream combo @ Walmart  $5.97   $3.00 coupon 

Pillsbury Cake mix @ Schuettes for $.50 each - $1.00 off 2 coupons (got 6 of these ... for FREE) 

Lady's speed stick  $1.88 at Angeli's.  B1G1 Free coupon in yesterday's paper 

Dawn 9 - 10.3 oz @ cvs for .99   .25 coupon 

Aldi's blackberries  .79  (none at Angeli's but if you are going to Aldi's anyway) 

6 double rolls of charmin $2.99 @ walgreens (again, don't have 6 pack at Walmart but if you are stopping at Walgreen's anyway) 

Aleve 40-50 count @ curry's for $5.69  coupon $2.00

Where my savings really racked up was on things like the razors. I got 4 of the Venue Embrace (that's all they had left) and 6 of the Venus Spa Breeze. That's 10 Razors for a retail price of $65.70 - My cost: $15.70! I save $50.00 on that one transaction alone. I also got 22 packages of the B1G1 free jolly ranchers. Sierra Mist on sale for $.99 with coupons for $0.55 off a 2 liter bottle in this past Sunday's paper making them $0.44 a bottle! The retail on those was $1.65.  I grabbed 9 of those babies! Lastly, the Buddig lunch meat is a great deal also. Each pack makes a sandwich. They are regular price at Walmart for $0.48 (which beats the $0.50 sale price in this weeks ads so no pricematching needed) and I had coupons for $.75 off 4! Meaning I spent $1.25 for 4 of those packages! I had 2 coupons so I got 8 packs for $2.50. Couple that with the loaf of bread I got for $.38 ($1.00 with the purchase of 2 jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter which is on sale!) and the Miracle Whip I picked up on sale a couple of weeks back for $2.00. Throw in a couple of pickles I got on sale a few weeks back also, and some chips from last weeks sales and you have a lunch for under $3.00! Heck, why not throw in an orange or banana? Still keeps it right around $3.00.

So, there you have it! Get any great steals or deals this week? Did you check out the online coupons available HERE?  Well, what are you waiting for? Get to saving my friend. Would love to hear your experiences. It's never too little, or too much, to share. Every little bit counts!

Please take a moment to click some of the links to right - it costs you nothing and some of them lead to some pretty great coupons and deals. <3

Happy Couponing!

P.S.  I was kind of bummed my Walmart doesn't have my free item I got a coupon for from BZZAGENT. I'll have to check out Angeli's later today.  That would have upped my savings percentage! Darn it! Oh well, keep smiling!
