Walmart Paid Me to Shop!

Well, today I read about the new Walmart coupon policy--here are just a few highlights:

 

• Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be GIVEN or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase.
   
• “Catalinas” that are printed at our competitors’ registers, have “Manufacturer Coupon” with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code.

 This is major, especially since Walmart has not been coupon friendly in the past.  Well, I couldn't wait to go to test it out.  I finally got at 8 pm and I ended up making a big line at my register.  None of the managers had heard about the change but I had the coupon policy in hand.  After reading and shaking their heads they gave me $15.23.  (I will go shopping anytime at Walmart if I make money!)
