Walmart Savings Catcher

I've been hearing a lot about this new Walmart Savings Catcher lately. Anyone who reads this blog knows that I am all into doing whatever I can to save money, especially on our grocery bill. I decided to give the Savings Catcher a try this past weekend. First off, I found a great sale on 12 packs of Pepsi. I normally buy the 24 packs because they are generally cheaper per can, but this week 12 packs were on sale for $3. Ibotta had a $0.25 rebate on any brand of soda, so my 12 pack of Pepsi turned out to be $2.75. I also was able to use Ibotta to get a $0.75 rebate on my favorite Bert's Bee's lip balm that I just ran out of, a $0.50 rebate on by hubby-to-be's favorite bar soap, $0.25 rebate on bread, and $0.25 rebate on cereal. My shopping trip consisted of things I needed that were already on sale, then a $2.00 rebate from Ibotta... so I felt pretty good about my shopping trip. Then I submitted my receipt to the Savings Catcher and received an additional $0.71 back on my purchase.  

Basically what the Savings Catcher does is price match. If there is an advertised price from one of Walmart's competitors on the items you purchased, Walmart will give you an e-gift card for the difference. Pepsi 12 packs were on sale for $2.66 and the Herbal Essences spray gel I use was on sale for $3, both at CVS. I had paid $3 for Pepsi and $3.37 for the hair gel. So Walmart paid me $0.71!  

Some might say, "yeah, but it is only a $2.71 savings." This may be true, but I did not have to put much effort into saving the $2.71. Just snapping a picture of my receipt and uploading it to a couple websites. THAT'S ALL! Maybe 5 minutes worth of work. Not to mention the savings add up! I do most of my shopping at Walmart so I can only imagine how quickly this is going to add up. And just in time to do some holiday shopping! Needless to say I am now hooked on the Walmart Savings Catcher. Pair that with Ibotta, coupons, and store circulars and there is big money to be saved in the grocery store!
