If you've talked to me much about coupons and grocery shopping...or have attended one of my coupon classes, you may know that I'm not a big fan of shopping at Walmart anymore. I will admit, prior to my couponing days I would shop there quite frequently for groceries thinking I was getting the best deal. I have since found the total opposite to be true. If you're not using coupons and not watching sales, SOME items may be cheaper than a grocery store but definitely NOT all.
The fact is that if you shop at a grocery store that doubles coupons, you are most likely going to get a better deal at the grocery store over Walmart. Walmart will not not double coupons, they are only taken at face value. They will price match, but to me, that is probably more of a hassle than a help when you have to drag all of your ads in there and prove the price. Even though they price match, they will still not double your coupons.
I am not saying I never shop at Walmart, because I do on occasion, but not very often. If I do go there, it is very rarely for groceries these days. It is for household items, gifts or other miscellaneous items.
I came across this article where the author of the blog did some price comparisons between Walmart Supercenter and her local grocery stores. Check out her finds!
