Simple Walmart Shopping Tips

 

Coupon Price Matching


When you do your Walmart shopping one of the best ways to save money is to price match. Walmart will price match local store competitors ads. You can check here for Walmart’s price check policy. You wont need to drive around to other stores to find the best deals, so this in turn can save gas money.

All you need to do is bring in the competitors store flyer and show this to the cashier. Make sure the date on the flyer is that weeks current date. It must be a current ad and you can also match the Preferred Shopping Card prices that are in the ad.

Group those items together and a have sales ad ready. I sit my ad next to my grouped items to keep them in order. Some shoppers like to put sticky tabs on those items to help.




 

Coupon Overage


Do you ever wish there were more coupons for meat and vegetables? I get asked all the time, how do you save on them? Well one way is through coupon overage.

This is when you purchase a product and use a coupon for it that is more than the products price. So that makes the product free and the extra cash rolls onto the rest of the items in your order such as meat or fruit.

Check out the Walmart coupon overage policy. You should make a copy and keep it with you, because unfortunately many cashiers are not up-to-date on their store policies.

 

Online Shopping at Walmart


 

If you like to shop online be sure to use Walmart’s “Site to Store” for free shipping, by using this Walmart will ship your purchases to the nearest store in your area free of charge.

Walmart online also has a refurbished area within their ‘Electronic Section‘. There you can save up to 40% on computers, tv’s and much more. They will also accept online coupon codes, which are much like a normal Walmart coupon just for online shopping.
