coupons and pricematching halved my shopping bill
August 31st, 2008 at 05:43 amWent to walmart today and did a whole bunch of price matching and couponing.
Hard to know what exactly I saved with price matching but here are the highlights.
Royale TP - $8.57 each or so .. pricematched with shoppers $4.88 and used 2 $1 off coupons
Ritz crackers with the free cheese - $2.67 or so at Walmart - pm'd to shoppers and got them for $1.79 X 6 plus whatever the free cheese is worth..
Lipton Sidekicks - $1 something at walmart.. pm'd to Superstore $0.99 cents each - bought ten then used 5 of the buy 2 get $2 off coupons - ALL FREE
KD -$1 something.. pm'd to Zellers 49c sale..
Coffee Mate - $3.50 X 3 - 2 $5 off TMF coupons = 50cents for all three
Bic Soliel - 7.88 minus $5 off coupon x 4
Used a free pledge coupon $3.27 - so free
In the end I used $45 in coupons, spent $106.62
I think with price matching I saved at least as much as in coupons or very close... my guess is I got very close to $200 in groceries for $100
And the cashier was sweet about it all! Personable, friendly and didn't need to scrutinize every coupon.. woo hoo
And to think some say couponing isn't worth it.
