I shopped the Wal-Mart in Midlothian and boy oh boy do I just love that Wal-mart! The cashiers are friendly, the CSM's are helpful and the service is just good!

I had a young man check me out and I asked him before we began if he was okay with ad match-ups and coupons. He said, sure and his body language told me he really didn't mind. Whew, one hurdle crossed. LOL

I had a good size list and saved a ton!

My total ad match-up savings was $76.26 - woo-hoo! My total coupon savings was $73.36!
