The Comp List: January 2013

Comp List 1/30-2/05

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to quickly remind everyone of the different ways you can get the comp list. It takes a while to get the list all sent out (the program I use takes about 48 hours or so to get it sent to all 4,500 people) so it may not be until Friday or so before some of you receive it. If you are needing it before then, you can access it two different ways. You can go to my blog (http://gravespartyof4.blogspot.com/) and print it or view it from there. I post it there as soon as I am done making the list so it is usually on there by around noon on Wednesdays. I also post a link on Facebook on my profile (https://www.facebook.com/emy330). Hopefully these other options will help you out if you need it before you receive it in your email! (You will still get it in your email, too, these are just extra options in case you need it earlier!)

I am continuing to work on updating the store policies for the area stores. It is REALLY difficult to actually get to speak to the store managers!! I should be done with it soon, though!

Happy shopping!

Comp List 1/23-1/29

Hello everyone!

I don't have much to say for this week... I am still working on updating the policy info for the area stores. That should be done in the next week or two!

There are a few deals on the list this week that are listed on an in-store coupon. Most Walmart stores will not require you to actually have the store coupon since it is listed as "buy x amount for $x.xx". But I am attaching the coupons at the end of the comp list just in case some of you will be required to show them! I have never had a problem and been required to show them but they will be there if you do!

Happy Shopping!

Comp List 1/16-1/22

Hello again! Yet another quick week has passed and it is time to see what the deals are for this week!

I have added several (hundreds) of new people to the list and so I thought I would refresh everyone (and inform the newbies) on the different ways you can access this comp list. As everyone knows, I send it out on Wednesdays but I use a program that sends it out for me and it takes up to 48 hours for it all to get sent out. So, if you need to print the list before you get a chance to receive it in your inbox, you have a couple of other options: 1) you can get it off of my blog (http://gravespartyof4.blogspot.com/)- I post it there as soon as I get it done so it is usually on there by around noon or 1:00 on Wednesdays (sometimes much earlier), and 2) you can 'friend' me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/emy330) and I will also upload a link to the list on there! Hopefully you will have a chance to use one or both of these if you need the list early!

And I know I have said this before, but I PROMISE to call the area stores and confirm what their policies are! I have been busy but things should be slowing down just a bit and I should get this done soon! I have had several people email me and let me know that they were informed that policies are changing at various stores so hopefully I can get down to the bottom of this soon. Keep watching for updates!

Happy Shopping!

Price Comps 1/09-1/15

Hello, everyone!

It has been yet another crazy busy week but I promise to get the area stores called and get an update on policies. And for you Iola folks- your store manager and a few local ladies (Thank you, Autumn and Lisa!) are working on something to make comping a bit easier (so you won't have to show each and every ad). I will keep you updated!!

I did make a small change to the comp list. Some Walmart stores enforce the "limit" that is listed in the ad and some do not. So instead of having a column for the aisle number, I changed it to "Limit". This shouldn't be too much of a problem for the people in Ottawa that are used to having our aisles listed as I will still organize it from the back of the store to the front. I will try to remember to post the limits when I see them this week but I should for sure have it down by next week. (In my personal opinion I think the limits are great- everyone should have somewhat of a chance to get the great deals!) Maybe as I am calling the local stores to update the policy sheet I can also ask if they enforce limits or not.

If you live in or near Lawrence, you might want to check this out: Hyvee on Clinton Pkwy in Lawrence is thanking its customers by offering $20 off $100 worth of groceries. You print off the coupon and take it in OR you can "like" them on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ClintonPkwyHV?fref=ts) and just show them the coupon on your smartphone or iPad. If you "like" them then you get to see the other specials that the post occasionally! (The coupon link is listed below the comp list links)

Finally, I was honored to be a featured profile on Emporia State University's website! This is very special to me- as many of you know I just graduated from there on December 15th. Right before graduation, I was contacted by the Marketing Department and they asked if they could use my story. So here it is: http://www.emporia.edu/profiles/alumni/Emily/Graves/the-busiest-woman-in-the-world

I hope you all have a great week! See you next Wednesday!

**PS** As I was doing the ads, I once again noticed a difference between the Aldi's ad from Lawrence/Topeka and the Olathe area Aldi's. The Lawrence/Topeka area once again has milk listed for $1.99/gallon. So if your local Walmart store matches store brand items and will match from the Lawrence/Topeka area then go get your milk!!

Comp List 1/02-1/08

Happy New Year, everyone!

I have been receiving emails about stores changing their policies- some are saying they now require the ads, etc. I just want to let you know that I plan on calling the local stores and seeing what their policies are again to see what has changed. It may take me a few weeks but I will get it done! So far, I have mainly heard of changes happening at Iola, Chanute and Paola. I will call them and the other stores on my list, as well. Hopefully we can get all of this straightened out!

One other major piece of news: This week, Aldi's (the Lawrence one and the Topeka one) have put $1.99 Gallon milk back in their ad! This is great news but only if you go to a Walmart that will allow you to comp store brand items!! If you aren't sure if your store does, check out the attachment on here that is titled "What are the comp rules at my store?" and it will tell you if your local store does or not.

Anyway, I will keep everyone updated on policy changes as soon as I find them out! Have a great week!
