See Tonya’s Walmart stock up trip.
She doesn’t have any stores that double coupons.
She saves money by price matching & using coupons. She does not shop like a
‘normal shopper’, since her freezers & pantry are both well stocked.
This allows her to only shop for items on sale, fresh produce & fresh dairy on a weekly basis.
Her grocery/stock up budget is $60 per week. Any money left over is saved for the following week or used to buy produce from the Farmer’s Market.
Tonya will be using vegetables & fruit that she home canned & froze during the summer.
She will also be getting a bushel of fresh apples brought back from the mountains from a friend. FREE!!!
She has a fall garden started with lettuces, broccoli, carrots & spinach.
Today’s trip would have been $59.10 but only cost her $33.07 plus tax after coupons & price matching.
She saved $26.03.
Please note that not all items will be used in 1 week. The items with ‘S’ beside them will stocked for future use.

yes, i can
Wally World sucks!
Yes I’m a cashier snob too at all my stores
All you get here are hassles.I only have one where I rarely have an issues. They act like you’re some kind of criminal at most of them.
I am very cashier specific, too. I always look for the same ones. 😉
It is by trial and error to find some top notch cashiers. I have found three great cashiers at my local Walmart that will take my coupons and price matching easily. When I am ready to check out, I look for one of them, even if I have to wait in line. 🙂
Some people like Walmart, some people don’t. For the most part, I never have any problems price matching or using coupons. Once in a while I run into a snag but not often enough to deter me from shopping there. ~ T
2 CVS a Walgreens, Dollar General @ Basha’s (local to here) Fry’s. lol
I wish I had ANY store within 5 miles of my house. You are lucky! 🙂
There are a few things I’ll buy there because they are cheaper but most stuff I go elsewhere i can even price match at Petssmart for my cat food so I have no need to buy much at Walmart anymore.
🙂
It’s a try it free rebate. If you don’t love it, they will refund your purchase price. 🙂
I won’t shop at Walmart for that same reason.
Yes, I’m lucky that way. I have several stores within 5 miles of my house.
whats on top of the min maid
That’s the great thing about having lots of different grocery stores, you can shop wherever you want. 🙂 ~ Tonya
I won’t use coupons at Walmart or Price Match all they do is give me a hassle. I can do just as well at Fry’s as Walamart with my coupons and no hassles.
