SHOPPING AND SAVING AT WALMART - FACT OR FICTION?

How many of you (me included) thought that when we went to Walmart every week to do our weekly grocery shopping we were getting the best bang for our buck? I was reading an article recently from a well-known and respected "coupon queen" and she said the same thing I have been saying for years. If your shopping option is an everyday low price supermarket (aka Walmart), you may not enjoy many deals where you take products home free or cheap after coupons. Some people may find that hard to believe because they have been brainwashed to think walmart has the lowest prices around! Prices at Walmart typically do not dip low enough to match the dollar amounts of high-value coupons paired with a supermarket sale. PERIOD.

So attention all you Walmart shoppers!!! Don't be deceived thinking you are getting the most out of your hard-earned dollar at Walmart!!! When I have time, I will take some of my Publix shopping trips and compare it to a Walmart shopping trip. I have done this many times and am still amazed when I see the difference!

If you were like me and shopped at Walmart and now find your deals are better at Publix, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT OR SEND ME AN E-MAIL. I would like to show everyone else that they are missing the boat and could actually save more money! I will post the comments so newbies or people who may be considering jumping on this coupon wagon can actually see it from others who are doing it!

Thanks!

  1. I despise Walmart!! Always have always will. Even before this coupon phenomenon, I have shopped there before, in the dead of night, away from all the chaos..lol...and have found that items are usually cheaper still at Publix and Target. As well, as finder some better brands at other stores as well. I love Publix and LOVE Target...WalMart---not so much!! :-)
