The joys of overage at Wal*Mart

I'm not a regular Wal*mart shopper, however, there was a great coupon this week available online that lead to some amazing overage*!

Coupons.com had a coupon for $6.00/2 Schick Disposable razors.  Walmart had packages of disposable razors for just $1.97 each, which leaves $2.06 in overage*!

Forgive me for the lack of photos, we're still unpacking and the cameras are MIA.

I used only 1 $6.00/2 per transaction.  I left the second coupon at home accidentally, so I *had* to go back.

 

Trip 1:

Razors   $1.97

Razors   $1.97

Snickers Bar  .74

Nature's Own Bread $2.98

English Muffins  $2.50 (Per Hubby's request!)

-$6.00/2 Razor Q (from Coupons.com)

- .74 Free Candy Q (From M&M/Mars Random Acts of Chocolate Facebook Campaign)

- 2.98 Free Loaf of Nature's Own Bread (BzzAgent Coupon)

Total .44

Tax .31 (Tax is on the pre-coupon amount in CA)

TOTAL OOP .75

 

Trip 2:

Razors   $1.97

Razors   $1.97

Garnier Hair color $6.47

Hazelnut Creamer $3.68 (we were out of creamer and we really needed it- so the overage was very helpful!!)

-$6.00/2 Razor Q (from Coupons.com)

- $7.99 (Free hair color coupon from Garnier Facebook campaign)

Total .1o

Tax .81 (Tax is on the pre-coupon amount in CA)

TOTAL OOP .91

 

*For those new to couponing, overage is when the amount of the coupon exceeds the price of the item and there is a negative balance.  Wal-Mart doesn't give cash back for overage, but you can use that negative balance to buy other items with little or no Out of Pocket.
