My local Walmart has started something new.
In a bid to compete with a local grocery store that doubles coupons each Tuesday, our local Walmart is now also offering double coupon Tuesday.
At first I wasn’t too interested. I don’t do a lot of shopping at Wally’s and have some mixed feelings about the techniques they employ to keep those prices so low. Plus I’ve really been trying to pay more attention as to where my food comes from.
And then I remembered my monthly grocery budget and the hit it’s taken lately with increasing prices…and I caved. Seems as though my need to make a stand against certain things ends where my family’s stomach begins.
Doubled, the C&H Sugar coupons I had made each 2 pound bag of powdered and brown sugar .88 cents each, or .44 cents a pound.
The small bottles of pickles were .64 cents each. The large $1.16 each. Right now they are on sale at another grocery store 2/$5.00.
The Huggies wipes, after doubling my .50 off coupon, rang in at .94 cents each. For the most part I use cloth wipes, but disposable wipes come in handy for 72 hour kits, and the once in a while days we don’t use cloth on a certain Teeny Tiny Designer Hiney.
If you have a grocery store near you that doubles coupons, your local Walmart may also double as well, especially if you live in Utah County.
Now….about the 50 bottles of free after coupon Fuze I picked up yesterday….heh.
PS: Just so you know, our family is coming up on Birthday Alley. The two months where just about every single one of us has a birthday. The Fuze will be held back not only for these birthdays, but the 4th of July as well. My kids by NO means get this stuff often.
That is amazing!!! I too live in UT County. What Walmart did you go to? And where do you like to gather your coupons from? Have you seen the show, Extreme Couponing? Being LDS I think it is a brilliant way to get your food storage going!!

McKinley, I collected the Fuse coupons from friends that weren’t going to use them. And I shopped at the Cedar Hills Walmart.
Are your fuse coupons the $1 off on 2? Did they double that?
You can get free coupons at my website to use at walmart http://www.freecouponsmontly.com and I am in utah so you will get them fast!!! It might be worth it, I might take the hour drive one tuesday and stock up! Once in awhile you will get a good bargin on stuff in Davis County like today I got 20 of the mac and cheese that fresh market had on sale for $1.79 each of mine with my $1 coupon was only .79cents
I didn’t use the coupons for the Fuze at WalMart. I used those at Macey’s along with their sale. WalMart will NOT double the $1.00 off of 2 coupons. I’m off to check out your site!
I love that WalMart is doubling. The first two times I went, they doubled EVERY coupon, even the ones over $1. SCORE!!! But, alas, they wised up to their mistake, and now have their little policy printed out. Did you buy a bunch of coupons to get that many Fuse Drinks for free?

Paige, while I have used coupon clipping services before, I was able to collect the Fuse coupons from friends that didn’t want them. I find that if you get a coupon with a expiration date several months out there will be a few sales to use these coupons with. This time the sale came sooner than later! I went to Macey’s. But Fresh Market will match Macey’s ads.
It’s true. My birthday in the end of June, and in July we have Mommy’s, Rigel’s, and Kensley’s. Plus 4th of July, 24th of July, etc. But we have fun!
