Wal-Mart's new coupon policy??

Has anyone ran into Wal-Mart's new coupon policy? I went in the one in Enid a couple of weeks ago and had several coupons to use. The cashier made a big deal of counting them and then informed me that their new policy limits customers to only 20 coupons per transaction. She told me it was a corporate decision so I went to the Wal-Mart Corporate website looking for information. This is what I found:

There is no limit on the number of coupons per transaction.

And this:

The system will prompt for supervisor verification for:

• 40 coupons per transaction.
• A coupon of $20 or greater on one item.
• $50 or more in coupons in one transaction.

You can read the entire coupon policy here.

So, what do you think? A local store policy? Or a cashier who doesn't like coupons? I don't know that I've ever had more than 20 coupons, but I believe I'll print off this webpage to carry with me for future reference.

Dollar Tree to start accepting coupons!

My niece heard that Dollar Tree is going to start accepting coupons. Since I had just recently asked them if they did and been told no, I went to their website to get the details. Here is a link to their coupon policy, beginning August 26th. I've copied and pasted the text below:

IN-STORE COUPON ACCEPTANCE: GUIDELINES & LIMITATIONS

Wal-Mart and price matching

As I was leaving Wal-Mart on Saturday, I ran into a friend who asked me if I knew that Wal-Mart wouldn't match their own prices. Turns out that if they have an item online for less than the same item is in the store, they won't match their own price. Interesting, isn't it? I went to their website and looked at their ad match guarantee.  Sure enough, it says they don't match internet pricing, but you'd think they'd match their own internet prices???? Thoughts, comments?
