So long CVS, I'm in love with Walmart now! (Ok, I may not give up CVS completely...)

I went today and using the spreadsheet and other deals posted here, got $108 worth of free stuff! Lots of the trial sizes, some free food from emailing companies (Nature's Own bread, Mission Tortillas, Coffee Mate, Silk Soy milk, etc)....

Before coupons: 164.92
After coupons: 56.37
Savings: $108.55



all!

[mpayne]

Your hubby works at Walmart? Awesome for you!

You are soooo fickle!!!

[mpayne]

~heh~ That's what they call a "cheap date" huh, Carolyn??

Here's some things I got that I don't think are on the list here yet...(not sure, I've been in a tizzy today):

Ken's dressings free w/$2 off coupon (not sure where it was, I traded for them-- thanks Carolyn! - they were not IPs, though)

Nestle bottled water 24 pack w/IP $1 off = $2.88 for 24 bottles

Pert Plus trial sizes w/$1 off coupon = money maker +12¢ each

Purell money maker w/$1 off coupon = +6¢

Zone individual bars - money maker w/$1 off coupon = +4¢ each

Old El Paso taco seasoning - 12¢ w/50¢ off coupon (good on "any Old El Paso product)

Coffee Mate - HUGE tub 2.2 lbs - only 14¢ w/"free coffee mate up to $4.50" coupon mailer - my cashier entered the full $4.64 though!

Tylenol vials(in trial size section) - 96¢ w/$1 off Tylenol coupon

NexCare bandages - 50¢ box w/$1 off coupon

[tootsie roll]

Great job!! I am a recent overage addict, too. I do have a question - what size Nexcare bandages? Were they clearanced or travel size?

[mpayne]

They were regular sized! 30 ct flexible fabric.

[tootsie roll]

is that the regular price?

[gahippiechik]

Great Job!
You said you got coupons from emailing them....What do you say in your emails? Do you just ask for coupons? Sorry, I am new at this.

[mpayne]

No, I never ask for coupons when I contact a company. I just tell them how my family likes/loves their products. For our special dietary needs (like my digestive thing) I wrote Amy's and they sent me a bunch of free product and $1 off coupons, along with a pamphlet about how to eat better for my condition! I have gotten free product coupons from Nature's Own, Sara Lee, Mission, Campbells, POM, Yoplait, and others...

I usually just say "I just wanted to tell you how much my family enjoys your ____________. Thanks for making such great products. I look forward to trying more in the future!"

[mpayne]

Tootsie, it didn't say they were on sale or anything, so I assume it's always $1.50/box?

[marchfree]

where is the spreadsheet you mentioned?

[tootsie roll]

marchfree - look under resources at the top of the screen. then click on the store you want.

[bubbsguy]

I'm getting a little addicted since the 3.00/2 cleanteam, and they hired some really nice cashiers so I'll see if they stay that way.

[Townshipboy07]

u have tylenol qs that dont exclude trial size? lucky.

[mpayne]

townshipboy - they say "excludes trial sizes" but apparently the vials of 10 are ok! Didn't beep or anything.

[lpeacock]

my tylenol q's say good on any size

[mrslukebrown]

Which Walmart did you go to? I did not think they took IP's. Did they give you any issues?

Actually, the vials of 10 aren't considered trials.........they are considered a compact travel size. Thanks for the Head Up on the Ken's....I still have more and didn't even think about checking Wally World! Makes for a great deal, mpayne!!

[Natesmom]

I have to agree that walmart isnt half bad since they give overages. With the help of this board I got 2 gallons of iced tea (2.50 a piece), 8 packages of cleanteam wipes, 4 travel size old spice body wash and a glade scented oil warmer all for 5.92 (darn tax!)

My hubby has called alot of companies to. He can hardly get a coupon out of them.

He asks if they have any proms going or what not. Maybe he should not say that. Instead just call and tell them how much you enjoy there priducts.

I guess if they think your looking for coupons or something free they won't send you but one coupon. So he needs to change his lines a little.

How cool you get all that thou.

I have bunches and bunches that say "ANY Tylenol" ~ there was a strip of them in a January insert. The was regular, rapid release, arthritis, PM and I think 1 other kind. They didn't expire until August so I hung onto them!

So they DO exist!
