They also host their Walmart+ Week, where they lower the prices for Walmart+ members for an entire week. If you’re a member, this is one of the best times of the year to shop at Walmart.

Couponing at Walmart 👇
Lesson 1: Coupons
As per Walmart coupon policy, Walmart does not offer store coupons nor do they accept digital/mobile coupons. Instead, they rely upon “everyday low prices”. They also do not accept coupons online, however, they do accept them when you shop in-store.
1. Manufacturer coupons
Walmart accepts manufacturer coupons that state “manufacturer coupon”, have a scannable barcode and an expiration date. You may find manufacturer coupons in your local paper or print free manufacturer coupons here. There’s a limit of 1 coupon per item, and 4 identical coupons per household, per day (unless otherwise noted on coupon). There is no limit on the number of coupons (variety) that you can use in a total transaction.
2. Internet Coupons
Walmart accepts valid, internet manufacturer coupons for the manufacturer’s items with a scannable GS1 barcode and are not expired that validates to their master file.
They do not accept internet coupons for free items with no purchase requirements. Note that it has to be a clear print with no distortions or alterations of any kind.
3. BOGO Coupons
They accept Buy One Get One coupons as long as they are dollar/cents off. They do not accept percentage off BOGO coupons (e.g. Buy One Get One 50% off). You cannot combine BOGO manufacturer coupons. In other words, you cannot use two BOGO manufacturer coupons on two items and get both for free.
Note: Coupon Overage
Walmart does not give cash back nor will any overages apply to the remaining items in the transaction if the value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item, including WIC and SNAP. The value of a coupon will be applied up to the price of the item and any excess value will not be applied to the transaction total.
Note: What to Expect
In general, Walmart leaves it to the management to have the final say in whether they will accept coupons/price matches or not. For example, you can go to one store where they will allow you to use 8 coupons, while at another 10 miles away they will say the limit is 2. This is just a rough example, but you get my point – at the end of the day, it’s up to the manager/supervisor to decide as they see fit.
So what I can recommend, in case you see there’s a clash with the official policy, is to stay calm and pull up their coupon policy on your phone for reference.
