Reader Meeka sent this deal into I Heart The Mart and I thought it was a really good example of how to make coupons work for you, and picking up all the small items at one time!
From Meeka:
I wanted to share about my shopping trip to Walmart today. I printed the Schick $6/2 razors and coupons and put them to use today. The result was a savings of about 97% and I had a blast watching my total shrink. The total was $36.52 and after coupons and 1 price match (on the pasta sauce) I only spent $1.06 out of pocket. Thank you for your continuous updates concerning Walmart deals, I am beginning to like shopping there again.

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.

the reach coupon wasnt good on the crystal toothbrushes. which is what it looks like she got
I took a guess on the coupons, so that could be totally my fault!!!!
You can see in the pic she purchased 3 floss, as well as reach toothbrushes. There is a coupon for $2 off reach toothbrushes so probably used that.
Awsome! the Velveeta pasta is on sale at HEB for a $1, Im just sayin.
Where did you find the cascade complete for .97 cents? I looked yesterday and couldn’t find it. I scored big yesterday $110 worth of product for $21.00. Let me know if you can! Thank you!
They are in different places at different stores. My store has them on an endcap not with the regular cascade!
Wow, where I was expecting a “Good Job” is see a “caller outer” on the coupons…I say GREAT JOB! And thanks Tiffany for the backup.
My thoughts exactly! I wish people wouldn’t jump on folks so quickly.
only one prob! the razor coupons states no cash back there supost to bring it down to the price of the razors and im thinking they took the whole $6.00 off witch is wrong my walmart will not let us use the overage and say its miss using the coupon 🙁 bummer to me but it her walmart didnt say ne thing good for her 🙂
i wasnt able to use the overage on my razor toward another item i was getting! the cashier got mad and told me i was using the coupon wrong because i didnt tell her to make the price down and had to call the manager over and it was a big mess! i still got the razors free but couldnt use the overage because of the coupon saying no cash back!
this is where the coupon policy comes in handy, just saying…

can you price match another walmarts price lol really ?????!!!!!!!
Good question! I have tried it a couple times before and have been told you CANNOT do that. I guess, b/c they dont mind if you go visit the other walmart store.
so silly !!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it just meant no cash back in hand, so using it toward your other purchases would be okay.
So what was the big overage on? the razors…if your walmart interprets that it’s ok for overage (not cash). What else is a MM at Walmart? Momma needs some groceries.
Went to 2 Walmarts today and both were completely out of the Schick razors then I went to 2 Kroger stores to use my Brut coupon and they too were completely out of stock…..Disappointed
I used the Schick Q’s today with no problem. As long as the overage is going to your cart and not $ back I think it is Ok because Walmart will receive the $6.00 back for the Q.
I too had NO PROBLEMS with the overage. I think as many others have commented – if you use it towards other things in your basket and NOT for them to hand you over the $…I think it’s okay! My total today at Wal-Mart before Q’s was $30 and some change and with the Q’s I had, I left there paying only $1.99 (that also included buying 5 bags of Tidy cat litter at 1.77 less 5/1.00 Q’s to donate..GREAT DAY OF Q’ING)!
Good Job! Target on Hwy 6 and 1092
have Velvetta Skillet Meals on price cut $1.77. Used $1 MQ + $1.50 Target Q = free + money maker!
