the coupons in CA are a much higher value than the ones out here. I had my sister send them to me when I lived in AZ and our store doubled them up to 1.00 the clerks were always asking WHERE DID YOU GET THIS COUPON? all for .50, .75 c and so on I find walmart prices are good but if you can get some of those coupons you might find you save more. its a when is it on sale too...save them for the week that stuff is already on sale then use them .. an art is what it is and those ladies on tv spend all day working on this stuff. its their job. they go to three or four stores, which is a pain in the rear. and to me.. they are horders lol. they should donate their great deals to the people who need it.
