New Walmart Coupon Policy

I need to say, I'm not a Walmart shopper. I don't live close to one, the few times I've shopped there, I didn't find fantastic deals, and I've heard about enough coupon nightmares not to make a trip to "cherry pick" only to have problems at the register .

Yesterday, Walmart published a new Coupon Policy.  Wow, I might need to about becoming a Walmart shopper.

A few of the most enticing changes.

• Walmart accepts checkout coupons (also called "Catalinas") that are printed at our competitors' registers, have "Manufacturer Coupon" with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code.

• Coupons may exceed the price of the item.  Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase.

• Walmart accepts competitor's coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price.

If you're a Walmart shopper, print the new policy and take it with you.

A year ago or so,  Target changed their coupon policy - only to change it a few weeks later.  I hope this policy sticks at Walmart.

Thanks, Allison!
