Fantastic New Walmart Coupon Policy - DOUBLE WOW

 Walmart just updated their coupon policy. Print it here. Get this....

"Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase."!!!!!!??? Say what ???!! !!!!

That's got to be a first for any store. You'll definitely want to print the policy and keep a copy in your coupon file. Overage, here I come!! Go to this link here, then scroll down to the bottom where it says "Download our Coupon Policy" and click here. Here's another WOW feature of the new Walmart coupon policy.
Print it here



Walmart accepts... "Checkout coupons (also called "Catalinas") that are printed at our competitors' registers, have "Manufacturer Coupon" with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code."

It sounds like RR's earned at Walgreens can be spent at Walmart. That blows the door wide open for Walgreens deals because the drawback at Walgreens is the endless cycle of needing to roll them on different promotions. You can now go to Walgreens, and do a deal that is 'free' after RR, then take the  RR to Walmart and buy meat, fruit, etc. For example

NasoGel Drip-Free Gel Spray $4.99
- $4.99RR
FP = free
Spend $4.99 out of pocket at Walgreens to get the NasoGel. Then take the $4.99 RR to Walmart and buy
your regular groceries. It's a simple process to spend the money first at Walgreens, get the stuff, then use the RR's like cash at Walmart. Since you'd buy meat and fruit anyway, adding the extra stop at Walgreens first means you still get the meat and fruit, but something else from Walgreens, too, all for the same final out of pocket.

It also says...

Walmart accepts... "Competitor's coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price"

So I'm jumping to the conclusion that you can cut a coupon out of the Walgreens flier for Dawn Dish Liquid for .99, and redeem it at Walmart. They should also take a manufacturer coupon on top of the store coupon, but that isn't spelled out. A whole new Walmart world is opening up. Please report on Chat what you try at Walmart and how it goes. There needs to be a lot of testing of the waters over the next week.
