Ask a Walmart Expert: Will Walmart Take or Price Match Register Rewards or ECBs?

image


Since starting this blog I have been contacted by readers many times with questions about couponing, Frugal Living, Walmart’s policies and procedures, and various other little things.  I figure if one person is wondering about it, there might be others so this will be an on-going feature to answer the most common questions that come up.  If you have a question, please check out the master list of Ask A Walmart Expert articles to see if your answer is there already or contact me and I’ll do what I can to help you out.


Will Walmart Take RR’s or ECB’s?


Short Answer? No.


If you don’t know what this question is referring to, Walgreen’s and CVS both have rewards programs where you can get money back on future purchases when you buy certain products.  Here’s an example.


image


That red arrow is pointing to the 3000 rewards points you would get if you bought this from Walgreens.  These are good at Walgreen’s only and cannot be used at Walmart.


Can you Price Match the RR or ECB Price?


This is usually the next question that comes up.  In the example above, you’ve got a final price listed of 3/$5 so it looks like you should be able to price match this cereal at Walmart to $1.66 a box.


Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.  Here’s the wording from Walmart’s policy.


We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads:


  • Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card
    • example: "Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card


These RRs and ECBs are essentially giftcards meant to be used on your next transaction so Walmart will not allow you to price match that after-RR price.


DISCLAIMER: Every time I write something like this I am inundated with cries of “They do it at my Walmart!”  All I can tell you is what the policy says.  If you’ve got a store manager that allows it, awesome.  Enjoy your good fortune.  Just know that it it’s not policy and could stop anytime someone actually sits down and reads Walmart’s policies.

Walmart Shopping Secrets: Your Shopping Cart is Disgusting!

Walmart Shopping Secrets: Your Shopping Cart is Disgusting!


The mission of Grocery Shop for FREE at The Mart is to help you spend as little as possible on the things you need at Walmart.  While this blog focuses mainly on couponing, there are many other ways to save and to get the maximum amount for the money you spend.  To that end, we are starting a new series that will cover some of the non-coupon related things that will help you on your shopping trips.  I hope you enjoy these Walmart Shopping Secrets.


Your Shopping Cart is Disgusting!


Most of us don’t think about what went on with a shopping cart before we used it but let’s take a minute and discuss the average day for a cart. 


  • It holds raw fish, chicken, and pork

  • Bloody juices from meat products pour all over it

  • People touch raw meat and then grab the handle

  • Babies sit in the front and drool all over the handle

  • Babies have “accidents” that 5 diapers couldn’t contain

  • People sneeze and cough on them

Long story short, shopping carts are practically petri dishes for all kinds of horrible germs.  How bad is it?  One research study found 50% of shopping carts have e. coli and 72% have coliform bacteria.  All that coliform bacteria tells us that fecal matter is involved in contaminating these carts.


Even if you aren’t a germ-o-phobe, you have to admit that those numbers are terrifying. 


I’m not telling you this to scare you but to make you aware of the issue.  Fortunately, there is a very simple solution.  Just sanitize your cart before you use it.


Sanitize Those Carts!


Most stores have a sanitization station set up near the carts with wipes or a bottle of sanitizer and paper towels, use it.  If you just have the wipes, scrub the handle down well and then be sure to only touch the handle.  If your store has the spray, be sure to cover the whole cart in a fine mist and then wipe down the handle so your hands don’t get wet.


You can also carry a package of cloroz wipes with you if your store doesn’t provide any.  And don’t forget to wipe down the handles of baskets if your shopping with those instead of a cart.


Also, be sure to wash your hands after touching a cart, even if you’ve sanitized it.  Better safe than sorry.

I Got $16.26 Worth of Food From Walmart for $1.10!

2014-02-26 16.49.10


So I fiddled around with my printer and I guess I had some coupons in my spool that never printed.  After it got done I found a bunch of awesome FREEbies but unfortunately most of these aren’t available anymore.  I know, this is an incredibly helpful post. 


Anyway, the candy is still available for FREE and don’t forget that virtually any grocery receipt can be scanned into Receipt Hog.  This particular trip got me a little closer to a $5 Amazon giftcard.


2 packages of SeaPak Shrimp Poppers at $1.96 each
     I used the $2.00/1 printable coupon for SeaPak products
Final: FREE with $.04 overage each


6 cans of Iams cat food at $.58 each
     Use the $2.00/3 printable coupon for Iams cat food
Final: FREE with $.08 each

Ask a Walmart Expert: How to Send Your Expired Coupons to Overseas Military

image


Since starting this blog I have been contacted by readers many times with questions about couponing, Frugal Living, Walmart’s policies and procedures, and various other little things.  I figure if one person is wondering about it, there might be others so this will be an on-going feature to answer the most common questions that come up.  If you have a question, please check out the master list of Ask A Walmart Expert articles to see if your answer is there already or contact me and I’ll do what I can to help you out.


How to Send Your Expired Coupons to Overseas Military


I’ve talked a little about this in the past but I think it would be helpful to make tin info a little more accessible to all of us.  Every month you can send all your expired coupons to our overseas military where they can use coupons up to 6 months past their expiration dates.


Money gets stretched this when you are living off one income and are away from your extended families so it is incredibly important that our military families get these coupons so they can make their dollars go as far as they can.


How do I sort the coupons?


If you have the time, you can sort your coupons into food and non-food baggies.  However, in the past when I’ve said that, I’ve gotten some push-back from people who say they don’t have the time to sort.


The important thing here is that the coupons get sent.  If you clip all your coupons and it’s no big deal to throw them in 2 different piles. sort them.  If you keep your inserts whole except for what you clip, don’t sort them if you don’t have the time.  Just be sure to send them out.


The one advantage to clipping coupons instead of sending whole inserts is your postage will be cheaper.  Also keep in mind that you don’t need to send printable coupons, they already have access to those.


Can I Select Where My Coupons Go?


Actually yes!  This is a program I didn’t know about until recently when a reader forwarded me a link.  You can Adopt a Base by clicking here.


Where do I Send My Coupons?


Here is a list of addresses you can send them to.


How Do I Know What Coupon Inserts are Expired?


I have 2 handy tools that will help you with that.  You can see a running list of expired Coupon Inserts here.  You can also look up each insert and see when all the coupons in it expire.

NO SOUP FOR YOU! The Original Soupman Soup Just $2.34 at Walmart!

The Original Soupman


NO SOUP FOR YOU!  That was one of my all-time favorite episodes of Seinfeld.  When we went to New York last year I wanted so badly to find that little soup kitchen and have me a little Soup Nazi soup.  I was walking down some street when I saw his face about 20 stories high with a big arrow pointing down to the street-level promising some delicious soup!


I can’t even tell you how disappointed I was.  No soup-Nazi, no line out the door, no wide selection of soups, basically nothing like my favorite episode.  Just a couple girls behind a counter selling pre-packaged soup at outrageous prices.


Oh well, I guess if I want to try his soup, I’ll print this coupon for The Original Soupman soup.
