Yeah I had receipts. My guess is they are just lazy and it would of been to much work for them. :confused: Thanks for letting me know.

I have not had a problem returning an item bought with coupons regardless if it was on sale or not. If they want to hassel you they can tell you that you won't get the coupon amount (although when a store does this I tell them to either give me back my coupon or give me the price w/ coupon back because they ARE going to get that money back from the manufacture when they redeem the coupon) usually they will say that they can not give you the coupon back and will give you back the price of the item.

I've never had a problem either. You are probably right in that they just didn't want to do it for you.:rolleyes: I'd have asked if a manager was available if they outright refused to take my return. I've worked retail before and there has to be a good reason to refuse a return and this is not a good enough reason. Wal-Mart is really starting to suck in my book.

WOW - you guys are definately hard core...LOL...Sometimes all this stuff makes my head swim! I am an avid couponer..but, you guys definately make me wish I was better. i have a stupid???question. I read somewhere on this board that Wal-mart takes coupons on trial size items..I even saw the "list" of prices on trial size items...However.I do not see anything on the coupon policy stating that coupons are okay on trial item. Then I read that someone got stopped by a cashier for using coupons on trial items..and whipped out her coupon policy print out..and got herself validated (you go girl..you are my hero) am I missing something..cause I want THAT coupon policy to print out...where do i find it???
Thanks so much..Wal-mart is 30 min away from me...so I'm planning a trip, and don't want it to be a waste of time...Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much

As long as the coupon you're trying to use doesn't say "except on trial size" or "except on xx size" which happens to be the trial size, they can't say you're not allowed to use it on that product. Anywhere, not just walmart.

WOW.OMG thanks So much..I have so many coupons that are going to waste, it never occurred to me to try trial sized..I HAVE ALOT TO LEARN!BTW do the coupons scan normally? Or do you have problems with the checkers/ management?

What happens many time with a coupon and buying a trial size item is that the price of the trial size is less than the value of the coupon. For example lets say you want to get skintimate shave gel in the trial size and the price is .97c. And you have $1.00/1 coupon (good on ANY size) when the cashier scans the coupon the register more than likely will beep and ask the cashier "correct amount?" The cashier at this point has basicaly three options. 1 - She can hit enter and the coupon goes through and you will then get .03 cents overage to apply towards other items you are buying (always buy something to cover the overage because they are hesitant to give you cash back). 2 - The cashier can modify the coupon value to match the price of the item, in this case .97c. or 3 - She can tell you that they wont accept the coupon - insert lame excuse here. And if that happens I would suggest that you immediatly ask for a manager and then whip out your copys of the Walmart coupon policy, because if the coupon does not have a limit on the size of item that you wish to buy you should be able to get the trial sizes. It is also a good idea to show the manager a coupon that you have that DOES have a size limit so that you can show him/her that the coupon you are using says "Any" and if the manufacture wanted to limit you from purchasing trial sizes they would print on the coupon some sort of wording that limits the use of the coupon on trial sizes.

I went to walmart today to buy the Degree Women Ultra Clear-$1.50. The price on it was $.97 I tried to buy the trial size and the register beeped. She took the coupon and the Degree to the manager to see if I could use it on that and the manager said no because you can only use it on the "big" ones. There is no size restrictions on the coupon. Has anyone else had this problem?
