My 8 year old informed me that she had a major grade volcano project due TOMORROW. Right before bed time. Nice. I made a quick trip to Wally World for the necessary supplies plus I decided to price match a few things that I thought would be a good deal. If you want to see my “How to price match” video it is HERE.
Total Before Coupon and Price Match: $41
Total After Coupons and Price Matching: $21.89
Here is a deal that I really liked, I price matched the Goldfish that were on sale at HEB for $.98. They are $1.98 at Walmart.
When I got there though, there was a peelie in the bags for $1.50 off 3 when you buy a box of the Pepperridge Farm crackers for $2.50.
That deal looked like this:
2 Boxes of Crackers $2.50 each
6 Bags of Gold Fish (price matched to HEB) $.98 each
Used 2 $1.50 off peelie
Total: $7.88
Another good deal, Randalls has the Campbells Soup 2 for $1. Use $0.40/2 Campbell’s Condensed Soup, exp. 2-15-11 (SS 12/12/10) to make it $.30 a can!
This is what I priced matched and from where:
Kroger – Lays chips $1.99, Quaker Instant Oat Meal $2.38
HEB – Gold Fish $.98
Randalls – Campbells Soup 2/$1, Cereal 5 for $10
The rest I had coupons for, you can find them in the coupon database at the top. (Thanks Robyn!)
** I know some of you have problems price matching and using a coupon on the same item. I am not sure why stores don’t allow that! That is one of the questions I have into corporate. I expect an answer probably Thursday.
Who did you price match the Activia, Lays, and Quaker from?
One question…..you did all this AND get your daughter’s project supplies in a “quick” trip? lol
and I had 6 kids with me 🙂
She just had to have the vinegar and baking soda to make it “explode” I also grabbed sand. Well, once you have to go and drag everyone you might as well try to make it worth it!
so if i bring in the local grocery store ad walmart will match their weekly sale?
Yes they will!
Just make sure to tell them you are price matching an item when they get to it at check out.
Thanks for the posts , I went last night and used the $6 off 2 Motrin , and xtra laundry soap , face wash,350 count paper plates ,2 packs of razors cost 31.00 after coupons 17.00 thanks to you………..
My jaw has just hit the floor. I am definitely in awe of your greatness. Not sure I would be able to keep it all straight, and be able to avoid the customers behind me in line who want to kill me because I can’t remember what paper had what add, but you make me want to try.
Try I will.
Try I must.
I’m off to heart the mart. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Ps- I really enjoyed meeting you and your wife. Hope to see you at the next meeting.
