Walmart Coupon Policy

This is Wal Mart's coupon policy as taken from HERE. I would recommend you going to the link above and printing off the original coupon policy rather than this one. If you notice..the highlighted portions are my NOTES to help break stuff down a little easier! ;) Wal Mart can be confusing at times and not all cashiers are "up to date" on their coupon policy! So it is always handy to have a coupon whenever shopping at wonderful Wal Mart! ;0)
