Updated Wal-Mart Coupon Policy

Earlier tonight the Krazy Coupon Lady posted Wal-Mart's updated policy on coupons! There are some exciting changes for us couponers at Wal-Mart including their allowing for overages (coupons that are for more than the product you are purchasing that results in money owed or credited to your bill) and the use of Catalina coupons! Here is the official Wal-Mart coupon policy. Feel free to go here and read about it yourself and print it out for your Coupon Keeper. It is always good to have a written copy of the coupon policy for the stores you shop frequently. This way if you ever have any problems using your coupons you can pull out the store's coupon policy for verification purposes.
