I’m a busy, working mom in a fast family with two teenagers. I need to get the best bang for my buck. Fortunately, I live in the heart of the largest city in the United States, and my budget is fairly limited.
While I didn’t realize it at the time, one of the main ways to get the best bang for your buck is to spend some of your money on the good stuff. So to that end I’ve spent a lot of time scouring the internet for deals and coupons.
The internet is full of lists of “coupons” and deals, but I don’t know where to start. I’m just not a coupon collector. I’ve found a few places that have good deals, but there are way too many to choose from. In the end the best deals Ive found are those that you make a deal out of it yourself or that you can buy at a store.
To save some money, Ive also been looking for “hidden” discounts, but some of those have been hidden by the store itself. One thing Ive found very often is that a certain store will have a sales or coupon code that you can type into their website to get a discount. This is often a one time deal, and its usually a coupon that only lasts for the duration of the discount.
Ive found a couple of these discounts, and they are not very often, but they do happen. For example, Ive had my husband buy me a big box of toilet paper at a local store. The discount is $1.99 if I come back and buy it in the store. Ive then paid $1.29 with a coupon that Ive had printed out for him.
It took a couple of months before I realized that this discount was not something that I could use for every purchase. It was a new store, so I didnt even have to go back to the location. The coupon was only good through the discount. Which means I didnt even have to go back to the store. The coupon was for a whole new coupon code that I could reuse. I figured that this was a little confusing, but Ive never had to deal with coupons in the past.
It probably wouldnt have been so bad though. You dont wanna be using a coupon that you havent used before. For example, if you use a coupon for an item that doesnt exist, youll find yourself not needing to use that coupon. The coupon you want to use wasnt there. It would be confusing.
Some coupons can be so confusing that they can ruin a whole day of work. The coupon in the picture above wasnt there either, and it wasnt a coupon for an item that existed anywhere on Walmart.com. It was a coupon for a new discount coupon. It was really confusing. If I remember correctly, I had to go back to the store to use the coupon. It was a huge hassle.
I’ve been with Walmart for a really long time, and I have to tell you that I am a fan of their online shopping experience. I’ve been using their coupons in the past, and I usually use the ones that come in the same package as my regular coupons, in case one of them is out of stock (and I just couldn’t find it). I have a lot of coupons, and I usually use about half of them, with the rest saved up.
You can always get some of those Walmart coupons by using the “Coupon Finder” on your account. Just go to the Coupon Finder on the Walmart website and search for “Walmart promo codes”. Then click the “Search” button. You should find it at a website called Coupon.com. Once you have the coupon, just click “Buy Now” at the top right of the page.
