pm @ Walmart or die in line at Office Depot

unnamed (1)This week’s Office Depot/Office Max has Back to School deals on EXPO dry markers and Sharpies (among other things) for a buck each pack – limit 3 per household, blah, blah, blah. I went in with the $1 EXPO coupon and 75¢ Sharpie coupon, fully intending to honor the limit three.

They’ve actually got photocopies (in color ink yet – jeez, nice to be rich!) of the two coupons and the items on sale.  And they don’t want to take the coupon for the EXPO because it’s already on sale and the coupon reads “not to be combined…”

And their coupon policy is ONE coupon per transaction.  Yes, I specifically asked if that meant 100 items in my cart and I’d only be able to use one coupon – yes.  I asked if their corporate management was all high, which, given they’re in south Florida is a pretty safe bet.

So I bought one of each item and drove to Walmart, where they not only graciously pricematched both items, they even substituted ones with bonus sharpies and EXPO markers.  Total for six (3+3) was $2.19.

Frankly, given the shelf tag prices, Office Depot/Max could merge with Gonzo the barking dog and I still wouldn’t bother shopping there.

24607_us_toys_aug-5_DOTD_crayola_900x120._V313617439_I was in Walmart yesterday, buying Paper Mate 5-pk mechanical pencils package for 29¢ price matching the cover of this week’s Walgreens ad and Almay makeup remover, both items using coupons for overage.  Normally I prefer using overage for cart items, but with all the kids running around and back to school items that required noise sucked the lifeforce out of me so I split with a tidy sum.  It’s not like they won’t get it back soon enough.

cheap eggs at Walmart

More free Curad bandages

photo.JPGSince Walmart carries this brand and size, you are welcome to shop there instead.  Menards has the Curad Flex-Fabric bandages on sale for 2/$1.  Use the 50¢ coupon in the 6/21 S and pay tax.  I like Menards because they make it easy to place a special order, pay and await the email.  If you only have a few coupons and a handy Walmart, then run it there.

Walmart razor shopping

photo.JPGDon’t forget that the BIC razor coupons (men and women’s) both expire on 5/31.  So far I haven’t been too lucky with the women’s razors – seems like Soleil have all jumped to $5.47!

free first-aid supplies @ Walmart

photo.JPGIf you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’, have I got a deal for you! Walmart carries lots of Curad first aid supplies for a buck or less – bandages, gloves, tape.  They also have gauze and specialty bandages for slightly more.  Use the $1 Curad coupon in the 5/10 S and you’ll be paying nothing for pain!  The 11 items here cost me -3¢.  Yes, that’s right, they handed me back 3 pennies.
