This coupon policy has two major changes for Walmart. First Walmart will now be offering change back when a coupon exceeds the price of a product and they also will accept Catalina coupons (those ones that print out at the register at some stores) that are clearly marked as manufacturer’s coupons.
Here is the info in plain text:
Walmart accepts the following types of coupons (see guidelines below):
- Manufacturers’ coupons
- Print-at-home internet coupons
- Competitors’ coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price
- Soft drink container caps
- Checkout coupons (also called “Catalinas”) that are printed at our competitors’ registers
Walmart does not accept the following coupons:
- Print-at-home Internet coupons that require no purchase
- Competitors’ coupons for dollars/cents or percentage off, buy one get one free, and double- or triple-value coupons
The following are guidelines and limitations:
- Only one coupon per item is permitted.
- Coupons must have an expiration date and be redeemed prior to expiration.
- Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase.
- Walmart only accepts coupons for merchandise that we sell.
- Coupons must be presented at the time of purchase.
Walmart accepts the following with Customer Service Supervisor/Management approval:
- 40 or more coupons
- Any coupon over $20
- $50 or more in coupons in one transaction
Since this policy is new, you may want to print out both a text copy and the pdf directly from their website: Walmart Coupon Policy

Am I wrong in thinking that Walmart does not double manufacturer coupons? One of the primary reasons I don’t shop there for groceries much anymore is because of that.
My Walmart gives me such a hassle over coupons that I don’t sh0p there unless it means serious savings. But, this new coupon policy (particularly the part about overages) will entice me to shop there more often if I can go during off hours when there isn’t a 20-minute line at the registers. (Long line + grumpy cashiers + having to call a manager because the coupons are over the amount of the product = miserable trip not worth the savings)
I don’t get why WM won’t double/triple coupons either. If they’re price matching, wouldn’t it still be cheaper to shop at my local grocery chain for a sale item with a coupon? Why would I buy a sale item at WM and only get 50 cents off with my coupon when I could have bought it at Kroger or Albertson’s for the same price and gotten $1 or $1.50 off with my coupon? To me, WM still isn’t being as competitive as they make themselves out to be.
