Overages

Although I recently had another great stacking trip to London Drugs I wanted to take the few precious baby free minutes opportunity to share with you another couponing technique that you can do at Walmart.  Walmart gives you overages, meaning that if your coupon is worth more than the item that you bought you will get that left over money to apply to other purchases! In essence you are being paid to take the product out of the store.  Here are 2 recent overageing trips that I did at Walmart:

Transaction #1

•  3 x Aspirin @ $4.97each less 3 x $6 off coupons = + $3.09
• 2 x Purex 3 in 1 regular $7.99  on sale for $2 less 2 x $3 off coupon = +$2  There were also $1 off Peelies on the inside of each of these to be used for my next purchase
• 1 x Finish Quantum dishwasher tabs Regular $7.99 on sale for $5 less $2 off = $3 However I have a mail in rebate form that will get me the full price of the product (including tax) back so I actually made $5 here
•  2 x glasses @ $1 each = $2

Total Purchased $51.31
Total Paid $ 1.21 ( all tax) 

Transaction #2

• 15 x Gillette Foamy shaving cream regular $2.16 each price matched to Rexall @ $1.49 each less 5 x $5 off WUB3 = + $2.65
• 9 x Aspirin @ $4.97 each less 9 x $6 off = +$9.27
• 1 x Purex 3 in 1 Laundry sheets Regular $7.99 on sale for $2 less $3 off = + $1
• 2 x Purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets Regular $7.99 each onslae for $2each less 2 x $1 = $2
• 1 x Finish Quantum dishwasher tabs Regular $7.99 on sale for $5 less $2 off = $3 I will also be getting the full cost of this back through mail in rebate
• 1 x Pacifiers @ $3 = $3
• 4 x Glasses @$1 each = $4

Total Purchased  : $121.89
Total Paid $3.33

Grand total purchased $173.20

I will actually be earning $10 (plus tax) for the purchase of the finish quantum products so I will have made money doing this transaction! See it does pay to coupon :)
