Price Matching

I love it when the WinCo ads come in the mail.  They always have such great coupons!  

My only problem is I never get over to WinCo to use them!  This week had some great coupons so I took them to Wal-Mart to do some price matching.  

It's SO easy!

Santitas chips normally $2.00  per bag = .78 cents

Saltine crackers = .78 cents

3 lbs chicken breasts normally $6.98 = $3.98

TP normally $5.98 = $3.98

Bertolini = .98 cents 

Bar S bacon = normally  $3.76 = .98 cents each 

I have a few more but I had to leave to get Graham from school....going back to use those.  Wal-Mart is great about price matching these deals if you have the coupons and don't go over the limit number.  I was really pleased with the savings though!

Wal-Mart Price Match-Ups!

I did some quick price matching on my shopping trip to Wal-Mart this afternoon.

The key for me to do this and not feel like I am going to throw up with nerves is by picking the nicest looking checker.  I don't mean this in a beauty contest sort of way, but more in a "Who will be the nicest to me?" sort of way.

 I have no idea who this girl is, but see what I mean?  She looks nice.  Patient.  She will coo at my daughter and when I tell her I have coupons she says things like "I do that too!  That is SO great!"
Totally pushing my luck but you know what I mean.

I had printed out a TON of coupons from here last night and had a few clipped from my binder as well...so when combining that with store flyers, it can start to feel confusing if you are fairly new to couponing.  

(I'm still a novice, for only doing this about 6 months now!)

Was it worth it?  You decide...

6 Tubes Colgate toothpaste

Wal-Mart Price: 97 cents

I paid: 88 cents

6 loaves Grandma Sycamore Bread

Wal-Mart Price: $2.00

I paid: $1.66 

6 packages baby wipes

Wal-Mart Price: $1.97

I paid: 88 cents

10 boxes 16 oz asst Barilla Pasta

Wal-Mart Price: $1.37

I paid: 88 cents

So just by bringing in another stores flyer, I was able to stock up on a few items I needed and for our food storage.  With little effort I had about a 35% savings!  

I'll take it!
