Wow, that's great. Thanks for sharing all of this. I was about to head to Wal-Mart this morning to get some fruit and now I'm going to be able to get some free stuff as well!!! :)

I'm confused at the trial sizes. Don't most of the coupons say, except for trial size? Or does Walmart take them anyway?

***************
Money Saving Mom here:

Chris: The coupons listed in this post do not say "excludes trial size" but only off of ANY which would include trial sizes. Thanks for asking so I could clarify!

Has anyone else had trouble printing the 10 Glucerna coupons? It keeps saying that they are experiencing problems.

I keep getting this message with the glucerna coupon:

"Unfortunately, we are experiencing technical difficulties in processing the request.

We appreciate your interest in Diabetes Control For Life™ and apologize for this inconvenience.

We are currently researching this issue to determine the exact cause. You may want to try closing your Internet program and starting the process over as this has worked for some people. "

Wal-Mart will match sales prices at other stores and this week band-aids are $0.99 at Walgreens and there was a $1.00 off coupon in a recent insert so FREE BAND-AIDS!

I'm new here and loving the new found savings. Thank you! A question. When I follow the links to print the Kashi coupons, I come to the Kashi site. I am already logged on, but can't see the coupons. I just see the form to register, and I have already registered. How do you find the coupons?

Does anyone in the Tulsa, OK, area know where to find the Cascadian Farms frozen vegetables?? I have yet to find them at a Walmart, Target, or Neighborhood Market. Am I just missing them?

Most coupons say "excludes trial size" but some do not. I got a sample of Gold Bond lotion in the mail - it came with a coupon, which says "excludes trial size". The Gold Bond coupons I printed off the computer don't have any size limitations listed. I redeemed them and a bunch of other coupons as well at WalMart last night!

Thanks so much for this list: I got 2- 1 lb. packages of $.88 ham, 2 jars of .08 pickle relish, 3 reams of $.97 paper, 2 free trial size lotion and various other things last night! This site is saving us a ton of money! Keep the WalMart list rolling!

Just wanted you to know that you've been inspiring me to save great amounts of moola. I've been using your site regularly for some great deals. I went to Wal-mart this week armed with many of these deals and coupons. I spent around $7 and got three boxes of cereal, a bag of dog food, twelve packages of yogurt, and dental floss. Not quite up to par with you, but I've been at it a week. We also don't have CVS which is very sad. :(

I wanted to let you and the readers know I tried to buy the Live Active cereal, but the register wouldn't let me. I'm not sure if this is happening all over the country, but the cashier told me that it was being recalled. It may be a great deal, but it is probably recalled for a reason. You might want to steer readers clear of this product??

Thanks for your inspiration!

I just printed out the Dr. Pepper coupons and when I did I was emailed a $10 off gift card to Kroger's. I live in Tulsa and don't have a Kroger's...does anyone want to buy it from me for $5? We both could make an easy $5!! Works for me. karrer@sbcglobal.net

I don't know if you have many military wives reading, but our commissary has the YO-Plus yogurt for $1.50, making them .50 cents for a 4 pack of yogurt!

I'm very disappointed to find that my local Wal-mart (Lake Worth, TX) did not have any of the sales listed above. I wonder why?

I still saved $20 from MF coupons though, and I only bought items that I would normally buy with or without a coupon.

Also, the cashier was quick to tell me they didn't accept internet coupons - I was quick to hand her a copy of their policy stating that they did - thanks for the tip!

I usually have to argue with a cashier or two over coupons on trial size items. I have even had managers tell me that even though the wording doesn't exclude trial sizes that the coupons aren't meant for trial sizes. Sometimes they even tell me that since the picture is of a full size item they can't take it. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, have you ever had anyone ask you incredulously "So you want it for free?" Of course I do!

The Kashi cereal at my Walmart went from $2 a box to $3.49 a box a couple of weeks ago. We LOVE this cereal in my family and was not particularly happy about this 75% price increase.

I tried to get the Dr. Pepper coupons and got 2 free movie tickets instead! Not sure if I have to see the INdiana Jones movie or not, but it's fun to win things!

The Zantac coupon is for 150 count mint melts. I don't believe it will work for the 8 count. Unless I'm missing the coupon you refer to . . .

BUT, thanks for all this wonderful info!! It's such a help to all of us who are pinching our pennies.

Money Saving Mom here:

The Zantac coupon shows the larger count on the picture but doesn't specify which size you need to buy (unless they just changed the coupon). It's worked successfully for many people.

I went to WM tonight and they could not sell me the LiveActive cearal. The checker said it might be on a recall.
Also, the Kashi Crackers in my store are now 2.78.

I have actually used this coupon many times successfully. But has anyone else out there ever been denied a coupon purchase because the picture on the coupon doesn't show exactly what you are buying? Even if the wording is good?

I have heard that only the berry Live Active cereal is recalled because they forgot to mention it was processed with nuts on the box.

Also, the only Schick coupon I have expired 6/1.

anyone have any trouble redeeming the glucerna 10.00 coupons. are they supposed to give you the full 10? the cashier wrang me up and i paid and then once she was handing me the receipt caught that the shakes were only 5.94 and said she'd have to re-ring everything!! i was so upset! long story, a mgr was called and said that they shouldn't have given me the 10.00 off but let me leave anyway b/c i already had paid and she caught the "error" after the fact. thoughts?

I tried to use the body wash coupons at my local Wal Mart today and the cashier wouldn't accept them. She finally called in the manager who wouldn't take them either. Argh.

The Glucerna at my WM is $8.97. The Zantac is $4.23. Not sure why my store is more expensive than y'alls. All in all I paid $3.05 on items which totalled $30.50 before cpns (90% savings!). The cashier told me I did a great job!

Melissa: try going to Reasors or Warehouse Market or Food Pyramid for the Cascadian Farms items. I haven't seen them at Walmart or Neighborhood Markets but a lot of times Reasors carries "special" items as I call them that WalMart just doesn't.

apparently, it's nothing that will make you sick, just for people with nut allergies (which, I suppose could make some people ill...but you know what i meant..)
Kraft Foods Issues Allergy Alert On Undeclared Tree Nuts In Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal
Only Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal with “Best When Used By” Date 17DEC2008 affected
Contact:
Kraft Media Line
847-646-4538

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Northfield, IL -- June 5, 2008 -- Kraft Foods is recalling 12,553 cases of Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal with the “Best When Used By” date of 17DEC2008 because a small number of boxes may contain tree nuts (almonds, pecans and/or walnuts), and no nut ingredients are declared on the label. The Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal has a UPC code of 00430000238900 and comes in a 13-oz retail carton. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The company has voluntarily issued a nationwide recall to alert any tree nut-allergic consumers who may have the product at home. The Mixed Berry Crunch Cereals were sold in stores nationwide.

The company’s review confirmed the presence of nuts in samples sent for testing after it received one consumer report of an allergic reaction. The company is aggressively investigating the situation, and currently believes it received from the supplier a single tote of granola clusters for the Mixed Berry product with a small amount of nut-containing granola clusters inadvertently added.

The company has consulted with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the agency is aware of the company’s actions.

Tree nut allergic consumers are advised not to consume the product and are asked to call 1-866-771-1511 for a full refund

The glucerna coupon does not work anymore.I have been trying for the last 2mths with the same message 'Unfortunately, we are experiencing technical difficulties in processing the request".

This coupon has been ongoing since last Sep and now looks like the campaign has expired.

Actually, it's just likely your computer as it is working for a number of other people. You might try a different browser or different computer, if possible.

Has anyone been able to print the Purina coupons without a tax ID? THANKS!

The Juicy Juice and Kashi cereal weren't priced quite this low at our store. Our WM had the cereal at about $3 and the juice at about $2.75. (My receipt isn't handy to give exact prices.) Just a reminder to your readers to be aware of the actual prices in-store, and not assume they're all the same. :)

You saved me a ton of money (66%) at Wal-Mart the other day!!! Thanks for putting this together!

I tried to get the KY Jelly priced at $2.57 with my $3 coupon and the cashier refused to even take the coupon or give it to me for free. Also the Muir Glen and Cascadian Farms coupons that are from the prognancy website (can't remember the address) they told me were photocopies and refused to take them! I told them I printed them off the internet this morning and she acted like I was a criminal copying coupons right and left for free stuff. This is the first time I've used coupons at Wal-Mart. Are they always this obnoxious or did I go to the wrong store? I got so mad I walked out without buying anything. Sigh... Guess I need to learn some patience to save money.

After swearing off Walmart for eternity, I finally broke down and took the kids to the Walmart Neighborhood Market just now in the nice yuppie part of town. No chaos, no crazy people. Small store, but still got the Farmland Ham for .88 cents. (4 of them!), and 2 free Kotex, 2 2-liters of DP for .50 cents each, and Oscar Meyer Thick Cut Bacon for only 1.98 which I think is cheap considering Kroger and Tom Thumb were selling it for 5.98. (from gold-plated pigs I imagine).

Bomb pops are $1.50 at my Walmart. If you go to bluebunny.com they have $1 off making them 50 cents and you can print as many as you want.

At WM I got:

2 bags cat chow
1 box (8 count) Zantac
3 boxes Honey Bunches of Oats
2 boxes Kashi puffed grains
1 box LiveActive cereal

The cashier owed me 51 cents, but since she seemed a little puzzled, I grabbed a pack of gum and ended up paying 52 cents for all that stuff. Not bad, huh?
