See Tonya’s Walmart grocery 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 has a fall garden started with lettuces, broccoli, carrots & spinach.
Today’s trip would have been $66.64 but only cost her $31.24 plus tax after coupons & price matching.
She saved $35.49.
Please note that not all items will be used in 1 week. The items with ‘S’ beside them will stocked for future use.

Now… We are military, just wish they had a Walmart where we are currently stationed. Lol
I wont put up with it. They have a job because of the customers. Without customers they would not have a job. And when ever i get a rude cashier. I will give them a chance right their to be a little nicer. If that does not work, I will finish buying my items. Then I walk up to customer service and talk to a manager. I will tell them right up front I do not want to get anyone into trouble, but you need to have a talk with them.
You can price match & use coupons at Walmart. You can only price match items that are IN a store circular & these are stores that are local to YOUR area. I am in NC, so I can’t price match to Winco or Alberstons for example. I can only price match to stores in my area. ~ T
People have bad days & they feel like it is their right to take it out on you sometimes. I always do my best to let it slide because in the end, I am getting the best deal & price for my money. ~ T
ok thank you
Most of the time, my trips go smoothly. Every once in a while, I run into a rude cashier. Like this past trip when she asked me if I was going to price match everything in a very nasty tone. I just said “Not everything but almost. Thanks for being so patient with me.” ~ Tonya 🙂
All of the stores I price matched to are Kroger, Harris Teeter, BI-LO & Winn Dixie. I’ll include the stores in my next trip if people would like to see the stores. ~ Tonya
I only wish our Walmart was nice about price matching and coupons. I haven’t been in months because they always make me feel like I’m bothering them and sometimes the cashiers are so rude.
I don’t get where her price matching came from..there are no stores listed A Thrifty Mom
are they still being herpy derps about their coupons??I havent been there in months!…and my husband works there!!!!but after last time he refuses to try a coupon there for me,lol!!
I am new to coupons. Can I use coupons and price matching at the same time? And how do I price match?
How do we know what stores she price matched to?
What store did you price match to?
