Wal-Mart Coupon Policy Test $12.07 Overage

I've been reading on the coupon boards that Wal-mart has a new coupon policy that allows you to have overages.  What is an overage??  An overage happens when the value of the coupon exceeds the price of the product.  They allow overages because when they mail the coupon to the manufacturer they are getting the full value back, therefore they owe us change in return.  If you do have an overage you have 2 options.  You can apply the overage to the rest of your "basket" groceries, or they can give you the change.

I had 2 coupons that I wanted to use to test this new policy.  I had a $5 off any 3 Gillette Products, and $5 off any 2 Olay Products.  When a coupon says ANY this includes trial/travel size items. 
Gillette Shaving Cream=$1.27
Olay Lotion=$1.57

I only used coupons on this trip, and with overages, wal-mart paid me $12.07.

Coupon Stacking at Save on Foods $5.34 Total =D

This is my first time trying out the new coupon policy at Save on Foods.  Not all locations are doing it yet, so be sure to check with the manager first.  I went to the Cambie and 7th location.  I will say that groceries there in general are fairly pricey with the occasional sale.  So to stack coupons there refer to my post last month about how to stack coupons, and the same rules will apply there.  Make sure they are all different UPC codes, and it can't exceed the value of the item.  Please note that as much as I would love to list or show you the coupons used, a lot of my trips are unplanned and I would have used them all on my shopping trip.  If you have any questions about couponing, or if you have a valid stack you would like to use, shoot me a message.

My receipt. $75.48 for all the groceries
less $21.76 save on more card
less $48.38 coupons
=$5.34

Coupon Stacking at Save on Foods

Save-On-Foods
So I thought it was pretty exciting when I could stack coupons at London Drugs, but recently there have been some save on foods locations allowing stacking as well. So far it has successfully been done in Surrey.  It is still slowly rolling out, so check your location and save even more on groceries.
