I have enjoyed reading the comments here and will be practicing a new way of shopping. Anyhow - I would like to respond to a question asked here and provide some good information for all of you!<BR/><BR/>First, YES WalMart does honor coupons!<BR/><BR/>Second, many people are not aware of this, I guess. If you find something in a competitor's flyer cheaper and show it to the cashier at WalMart, they will honor that competitors price! Takes extra time at register and people behind you may get upset for the wait resulting, but think of the time you save by not having to go to multiple stores! At least stores in NY state do, I imagine all WalMarts would be the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1157715537800543152006-09-08T05:38:00.000-06:002006-09-08T05:38:00.000-06:00Hello, all!

Just to add my input, as I have family members who work at WalMart. <BR/><BR/>Just so everyone here knows - yes WalMart does accept coupons. And even better, if you find a deal better at another store (i.e. the flyer deals) WalMart will honor the offer. The other customers may have to wait a bit behind you -but to save money it would be worth it and think of the time saved by not having to visit the other store....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1153808117877246822006-07-25T00:15:00.000-06:002006-07-25T00:15:00.000-06:00OMG I think I love you LOL!!

It's not like it's a big secret or anything, silly adopted person!<BR/><BR/>BB and Mia---It's kind of weird...a bit addictive. It's like playing the slots but while YOU'RE in charge. ;-)<BR/><BR/>RC---it's really just a process. The longer you stick to it, the better the benefits to the wallet.<BR/><BR/>Carmachu--I shop at SuperWalmart as well. I still haven't walked out of there with $115 dollars worth of groceries for 4 bucks yet though. Do you know if they accept coupons? It's an idea!<BR/><BR/>Lisa---You're laughing at me aren't you? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Brenda---LOL! I have kids like that too!<BR/><BR/>Nikki--Not a brag book...those usually have a space for 1 photo per page? It's about twice that size. Each page has an upper and lower space for pictures on both sides? Geez I hope that made sense!<BR/><BR/>As for Sam's Club--we're members. We've found super deals there for household items---like FANS! We also buy our dog food there, simply because it's actually practical to buy the equivilant to a 10-lb jar of Miracle Whip. ;-) Our dogs eat a lot.<BR/><BR/>I've never heard of BJ's---must be a regional thing, so I'm sorry.<BR/><BR/>We do have a UPromise card where a percentage of everything goes into an account for the kids college, which I'll talk about later. :-)Attila the Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158308703617226652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1153366538168467832006-07-19T21:35:00.000-06:002006-07-19T21:35:00.000-06:00(drops to knees and wimpers)Oh great one.

I myself am a BJ's shopper.<BR/><BR/>I am a member of their 2% members - meaning, I get 2% back off of everything I buy there and they cut me a check for it bi-annually. It pays for itself (75.00) in 6 months (that includes the standard membership fees).<BR/><BR/>Feed back please my lady.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09959561240011073465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1153361332370756932006-07-19T20:08:00.000-06:002006-07-19T20:08:00.000-06:00I'll keep checking back, groceries cost more than ...I'll keep checking back, groceries cost more than the mortgage here!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299205162628367889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1153349118025641262006-07-19T16:45:00.000-06:002006-07-19T16:45:00.000-06:00Wow.

The savings are direct in the supermarket, so you do need space to make use of them, but also the savvy to make sure that you are not buying just for the sake of an offer, it has to be something you'll use. Once you have an eye on who has what bargains it is worth it to take a bit of time and shop around.St Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491046830905273699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-1153316209413359102006-07-19T07:36:00.000-06:002006-07-19T07:36:00.000-06:00When I was in college (the first time) I had a fri...When I was in college (the first time) I had a friend of mine who worked at a grocery store and she would do a "fast slide" on most of the food we were purchasing, and what didn't go beep, she didn't retry. But the best part was we were allowed to turn in coupons for stuff we didn't buy. Since I am not a woman I always took one with me just to keep up appearances, because that was back when they were still giving out coupons for $5.00 off of Vagisil.<BR/><BR/>Everyone in town had a yeast infection according to her coupon count. <BR/><BR/>We would end up paying 50.00 for 250.00 worth of food.<BR/><BR/>Wrong?
