Walmart's New Coupon Policy

Walmart officially released a new coupon policy yesterday! There are a few changes that are pretty fun. Please remember that this will take time for cashiers to learn, so it is best to print the policy and keep it with you if you are a regular Walmart shopper.

Two big changes:

You should now be able to use Walgreens Register Rewards (they are a "Catalina" manufacturer coupon)! This may take a while to catch on.. best bet is to print off the coupon policy and take it with you.

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

One other thing to note: They state that they accept competitor coupons that have an actual price for an item. This is not a $1 off coupon, but a coupon that states that the item costs $1. We get A LOT of coupons like this in the Walgreens weekly ad. This is not technically new, just want you to understand what they mean. An example of this is the ad in the Walgreens that listed Palmolive dish detergent at $0.89, which is a deal, or  the wipes deal.

  • Manufacturers’ coupons Print-at-home Internet coupons Must be legible, have "Manufacturer Coupon" printed on them, have a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and have a scannable bar code.
