shot down at Meijer – recovered at Walmart

This week’s TRU ad has a store coupon for $8 off any 128 oz or more laundry detergent – Meijer has Purex  and Arm & Hammer on sale for $6.99 and there’s a $1 coupon in 3/3 rp for Purex.  I read and reread the Meijer coupon policy since I’m not a steady Meijer shopper (I live in Lisle – Google Meijer, the IL Supreme Court and Lisle for grins) and thought I could use the coupon there.  I was wrong.  Apparently, because it doesn’t say any one particular brand, it can’t be accepted.  Which meant a whole heck of a lot of time shopping for overage items…but they were very pleasant and courteous.

So drove over to the SuperWalmart in Bolingbrook to pick up a few more burritos and to hunt for Almay.  You see here 52 assorted burritos and five packs of Oreos.  I did find out something interesting, though:  Walmart will price match, but not require purchasing in multiples.  In other words, if Food4Less or Ultra or Jewel is running a Buy 10 items and get $5 off (or whatever combo), Walmart will match that lowest price without the quantity purchase.  I took five packs of Oreos anyway because I could run into a medical emergency and they’d be valuable to have on hand…right?

Over on the TRU site, they show Arm & Hammer laundry detergent for $8.98 – there’s a $1/2 coupon in 1/20 S, which would result in very cheap soap, considering you’d only pay tax on the 98¢!  If any of you have tried this or understand TRU coupon policy, let us know.  I plan to stop there tomorrow morning.
