Did you know that Walmart price matches? No need to run all over town anymore to three different grocery stores to get the best price. They match anything, as long as it's not a buy one-get one free offer, internet pricing or a sale price that is out of date.
I weeded through all the weekly ads (Target, Ralphs, Albertsons, etc.) to see if any sale items were on my grocery list. I circled the items in the ads I wanted to price match and then off to Walmart I went. It took me about 1/3 longer to shop and the check-out attendant was about ready to kill me- BUT I saved 24% off my total bill. That amounted to $30.14 that I now have to go get a pedicure. Yay me!
Some tips:
- The item you want to price match has to be the same brand level- i.e. Store brand=Walmart Brand, Name brand=Name brand.
- Make sure that the item you want to price match is actually more expensive at Walmart. There were a few items that Walmart already had the lowest price on so there was no need to price match.
- Line your items up on the check-out counter starting with the items that are not price matched, followed by price matched items (grouped by store you are matching to), then your coupons. When you are sweating bullets at the counter because you are getting dirty looks from the long line of customers that has formed behind you, you will appreciate the organization above.
I have pasted the link to all the rules on price matching at Walmart. It does take some time to sit down and weed through ads, but in my opinion it is well worth it!

P.S. Did you know that you can use your 20% off coupons you get from Babies R Us on wipes? I just found that out today! Yahoo!
P.S.S. If you know of any other great deals/discounts/tips, please send them my way. It is my goal to squeeze every penny I can out of our monthly budget :)
