El Rancho/Walmart: Cheap Eckrich Sausage

This week, until Tuesday 9/3, El Rancho has Eckrich Smoked Sausage (42oz) family pack on sale for $3.98. Price match it at Walmart for a great deal! (Regular price at my Walmart was $7.98)

Eckrich Sausage 42oz $3.98 (price matched)
Use .55/1 MFQ from RP 8/25/13
= $3.43

On a side note, my cashier asked me for the ad today. It threw me off as you have not had to have the actual ad with you to price match for quite a while. I wanted to double check, and their policy is still the same... You do NOT need to have the actual ad with you to price match. Check it out HERE.

Crayola Art Desk $17

 

Walmart currently has a Crayola Play N Fold Art Studio online for only $17! (Regular $44.97) Plus, pick it up FREE in store.

 

This would be a great gift for a little artist. Have any birthdays coming up?

 

Thanks Hip2Save!

Thought I would brave Walmart with the boys tonight and pick up a few things I've had on my wish list for a while--canning jars (to try out this pinterest idea), tortilla warmer (because we've never had one), & multi slicer (because I've always wanted one). Frivolous, I know! Price matched some produce since I was going to be there. Had I not bought the non-food items, it would have only been about $11.

7/16 Walmart $14.21

Had to run to Walmart today, so figured I might as well price match some things while I was there. Here's what I snatched up for $14 bucks. AND, I got a front row parking spot. Woot woot, it's my birthday! ; )

9/23 Walmart Shopping Trip $40.38

I made a run to Walmart with the boys for a few necessities.

Walmart Price Matching Deals

I wanted to share these pics with some of my fellow couponers (that don't live in TX), who don't really have any other option than to shop at Walmart. These are a couple examples of what you can do with price-matching & coupons...


Rockstar Shelbi paid $0.04 for all! : )


Rockstar Janae paid $2.24 for all! : )

These deals are happening this week, so you have until Saturday 8/20 if you want to try it at your store. They are a combo of price matching, coupons, and using your overage to pay for the rest of your items. Walmart's Ad Match Guarantee states that they will match any competitor's lowest advertised price. Their policy also states that you do NOT need to have the actual ad with you to do the price match, so if you don't get the flyers, don't worry.... Just tell them the price!

Here are some of the match-ups from these deals, along with a few more ideas. I'd love to see how you make it work for you, so please come back and share your deals!

So, we grabbed Kip's kindergarten supplies while we were out and about today. I think I bought more stuff for him than I did for myself the whole time I was in college. Thankfully, I had a few things on hand from random sales earlier this year, and Nana had helped out a little by getting him a school box, crayons, and glue sticks as part of his birthday goodies this summer. (When did construction paper get so expensive??) We are still short (6) 8ct packs of crayons--which are a mystery to find. (Can't I just get a couple more 24ct??) And I still can't quite figure out what he is going to do with all those glue sticks! (Large vs small...does it really matter?) Needless to say, I was happier with my Office Depot trip. : )

Tip for teachers out there --hand out your supply list at the end of the year for the next year. That will prevent us bargain shoppers from going CrAzY!

My intention was to buy the Ihop griddles for $2.67 or whatever, but Kip insisted on getting a different, more expensive kind, and it doesn't look like my coupon came off. I'm hoping he will like them! Also, my husband wanted to try some new iced tea. I had a coupon for Lipton, but forgot to pull it out of my binder when we got to the checkout. I thought the M&M's were .50, but just noticed they were .74 each. And I don't prefer to pay that much for salad dressing, but we are out and needed some. There were also a few more items I was planning to price match, but I either couldn't find them or they didn't carry it. : /

*I was going to price match the oranges at .69/lb (Sprouts), but the cashier said they sell oranges individually, not by the pound, so he couldn't match it. I was going to calculate it for him (because we knew how much they weighed), but he said his manager doesn't like them to calculate it. Then he said he knew of oranges somewhere else for 12/$1, so he price matched that (my guess is El Rancho). What a nice guy. : )

BTW... Now that you don't have to physically have the ad with you to price match, El Rancho has some smokin' hot deals on meat & produce quite frequently. Check out their ad HERE. I should've added a few more things to my list!

I made a trip to Walmart because I needed to get a few birthday supplies and a couple other random items. The items here are the coupon match-ups I did. I planned on doing an Air Wick deal, which would have been a $8 moneymaker (to pay for my birthday supplies!), but it didn't go as planned. : ( I was told they don't price match the Register Rewards part of the [Walgreens] advertised price. (Although, they did it on the Schick razor!) I tried to explain they weren't price-matching the "lowest advertised price" then, just the regular price, and was given the excuse that Walmart doesn't have a rewards program so they can't price match it. Going to give it a try another day though (it really just depends on who you get). Have to get my money back on a couple items, so I'll be going there anyway.

Refund Item #1 - I price matched the Schick razor, and I just noticed she didn't take off my $4 coupon. Wouldn't be a big deal, but $4 is WAY too stinkin' much to pay for a razor! And, I don't need to pay for a $4 razor when I already have a bucket full of them that I got for FREE!

Refund Item #2 - (not pictured) I bought Kade some water shoes for $5. Or so I thought. They rang up $8. : ( He "needs" them anyway, but if they are still marked $5 when I go back, I'll be getting my change!

Oh, and since I bought some other things in addition to this stuff, it was hard to figure out what the tax was and what I actually ended up paying. Without tax, I would have made +.24! So, I figure it was close enough to FREE. : )
