In trying things out for you guys, we ran over last night ( to a different Walmart) and checked out using the following coupons:
I bought:
Radio Flyer Caterpillar (clearanced for $14.50)
Wonka Candy Bag $1.50
Advil $3.68
Gum $.88
I used the following coupons:
$2 catalina for Wonka from Kroger
$2.50 catalina for Advil from Kroger
2 $1.50 Register Rewards (from Walgreens)
They took everyone of my coupons with out a problem! All the catalina’s beeped and they were overridden! Wow, the possibilities are endless using the Walgreens Register Rewards! You can use those to pay for all the things you buy that you don’t have coupons for, like meat and dairy products!
These are some of the problems that I see:
My wife swears up and down that they give her a harder time at the register than they give me. Unfortunately, I have actually seen this happen. I went through and used some coupons at a grocery store, 20 minutes later my wife went through the same line, with the same cashier, and was told she could not use them. When she asked why, the cashier would just keep saying, “because”.
Not saying that I get away with anything that I should not be. I do everything possible to make sure that my coupons are perfectly in order, not expired and for EXACTLY what they are intended for. But sometimes as a man, I think they just don’t hassle me.
Your store tells you “No” this is going to happen to many of you. What do you do?
I am personally taking this as my mission. To help as much as I can to educate the store managers and cashiers on their own coupon policy.
Print off the Walmart coupon policy.
Keep corporates phone number with you. CALL THEM if you have a problem! The more people who call, the better it will get for everyone. 1-800-WALMART (1-800-925-6278).
Always be polite. Even when they are wrong and make you feel like you are doing something wrong, kill them with kindness…
