Wal-Mart's *Revised* Coupon Policy

A few weeks ago I posted Wal-Mart's coupon policy that had just been updated. Well it seems there was some confusion with the policy so they have revised their policy. This one is much more detailed and explains exactly what they will take and what they will not take. I HIGHLY recommend that if you are a couponer and if you shop at Wal-Mart that you print this policy and put it right inside your coupon binder. If you are ever at the store and have problems with coupons, then you can pull the policy out and show them! Feel free to print the policy here.
