This is Walmarts new policy. It is basically the same as before, except now, when your coupon value exceeds the cost of the product, you get the difference back. SO many times, I have used coupons at london drugs, and when the coupon exceeds, they simply discount the price of the product, meaning they would GAIN the difference. With Walmart, it makes it even.

Not all Walmart staff know if this policy yet, so to not create any confusion, I recommend printing this out and bring it in with you.

Also, it says it's ok if the coupon is printed in black and white, but I have had trouble with these, and some employees think it is a photocopied coupon, which they don't allow, so I always print in colour now.

The following represents guidelines shared with our stores to facilitate coupon handling.

    coupon is accepted only if store carries the item
    must be presented at the time of purchase
    only Canadian coupons are accepted
    the item purchased must match the item presented on the coupon. (identical in size, quantity, brand, style, flavour, color and / or any other specs used to identify the product on the coupon)
