My Thrifty deals

Before sale price, price match or coupons this would have cost $104.90

I was able to get it all for $38.58

If you follow my blog, you know I like to try and keep it simple.  Sure I could run to very store in the valley and snatch up every good deal each week… but I also have a life.  A very busy life and that, and I have found that keeping it simple and shopping at one or two stores give me lots of deals… but less time shopping.

My local Walmart store price matches other local stores ads, and coupons.  I know many of my friends and readers shop there weekly… and have asked me why I do not.  I have talked about it before, but really it just comes done to keeping things simple and in the past I have been treated so much better at Albertsons and Walgreens… so that is where I tend to shop.  That being said this week I wanted to get use the $.20 off Yoplait Lactose Free Yogurt coupon with the Albertsons Round Up to get it FREE… but I have not been able to find it in stock.  SO I decided to price match my Albertsons Ad (round up ideas HERE, coupon match ups HERE)  at Walmart and see what deals I could find.

It was a rushed trip, in and out in about 35 minutes but I was happy with the deals I found… and more important happy that the cashier price matched my coupons with the add, no questions asked.  Maybe I will have to give Walmart a chance more often

They ring things up a little different than normal for the round up match, to be honest I am still a little confused… they took the match up amount off the item BEFORE they ring it up, then scan the coupon… so I do not have all the before prices. Sorry
