I work as a cashier at walmart. If a internet coupon won't scan, then we can't take them, or if it has been copied. If you have problem with the cashier, skip past the CSM (customer service manager )and ask for a assitant mgr, or a co-mgr.If you need to complain call/write 1-800-walmart/write to Bentonvile arkansas. It never does any good to complain at the store level. The problems are because all cashiers and mangement are not on the same page on polices and procedures. Every store does things differently, no consistancy in the whole system. It makes me mad and I work there. We are suppose to match all and any kind of stores ads. (except %'s off) Even BOGO is suppose to be price over rided to half price on each item. I save alot of money matching ads and using coupons. If I can save more money at other stores , then I do that to. (after all they DBL & triple some coupons..) but lets face it we get more lower everyday prices at Walmart!! I need to save in all ways! I'll be glad to share information about Walmart, write me at Boosweet36@aol.com Ginger Hello Guys! I work as a cashier at walmart.

The LiveActive cheese here in northern Michigan is $3.17 at Wal-Mart, jumping from their "rollback price" of $2.98. Good job on your shopping.

Glad I am not the only one with frustrations!<br/><br/>Tip: use self-checkout when you have lots of coupons. It may take longer, but you get to personally scan each and every coupon. <br/><br/>Sometimes an employee has to stop by and override a coupon, but I have never had one rejected! Guess I am lucky! I wish Wal-Mart's coupon policy was the same across the board. Aww, the mysteries of Wal-Mart. Glad I am not the only one with frustrations!

I love how you wrote your post! Very creative! =) I've been telling my husband the same thing about the price "rollback" for months now. Since he drinks a lot of Diet Coke, I notice the price inflation on the 2 liters a lot. One day we can go in and a 2 liter will be $1.18, then $1.38. Then they "rollback" to $1.25. Then back to $1.38. Then $1.08. No rhyme or reason to the price especially compared to other stores. Typically we price match to $1 / 2 liter if it is on sale somewhere else. I wouldn't be able to budget accurately if I had to rely on Wal-Mart prices! LOL! I love how you wrote your post!

My Walmart won't let me use the HBO coupon because it is for more than the cereal is.....I don't get it but they said they couldn't take it! So the last time I was in there, I looked for the Scrubbing Bubbles, not a one in sight, then after I checked out and got to the car and started reviewing my receipt, the cashier didn't scan almost 5.00 of my coupons, all the internet printable I had, she just didn't bother to tell me, oh we can't take these or anything, just didn't scan them and blew me off. I was busy with something else and not paying attention. I was so mad I told hubby it may be a long time before I go back there! I'm going to be real nice when I go back and hand them ONE coupon at a time and watch them scan every one! This was the third time in less than two weeks they had given me trouble about ips!

So is a sale ever really a sale?? Who knows, but we can still get some great deals!! Oh and my Walmart...they have been out of the Scotch Brite for weeks..will I ever get to use my free q's?
