Comp List 3/26-4/01

Hey, everyone!

I have something that you may want to potentially check into... I read about it after a friend told me about it. It's called Walmart's Savings Catcher. You can read the article here: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/wal-marts-new-tool-gives-competitors-prices#overlay-context=article/e-trades-talking-baby-goes-bye-bye. Here is a brief overview:

Savings Catcher compares prices of every item on the receipt to a database of advertised prices of competitors that's provided by an undisclosed third party. The tool doesn't apply to general merchandise like clothing or electronic gadgets.

Any difference in prices is put on a Wal-Mart online gift card. Customers can accumulate savings or use the credit immediately. They can redeem in stores or online by printing out the gift card receipt.

I did attempt to do this and found out that it is not provided in our area yet. If you get a chance, email corporate and let them know we would like this in our area! The more people that do it the more likely it will happen. :)

I think that is it for now. Have a great week!

OH! One more thing. Just FYI- Melissa included some store brand items on the comp list because SOME stores will still comp those. Ottawa Walmart will NOT, however! If you want to see if a different store does, you might call customer service before you get all the way to the checkout line! :)

Comp List 3/19-3/25

Hello, everyone!

I hope you are enjoying spring break if you get to have a day or two off. I do have a bit of info to share this week so here you go....

I found this information on KOFO after learning about it from Melissa:

The Ottawa Country Mart has been sold and will become a Price Chopper supermarket April 21.
The store has been bought by the queen family of Paola, which owns price chopper stores in Paola, Spring Hill, Bonner Springs, and two in overland park.

Price chopper will take control of the Ottawa store April 21 and close for a few days for remodeling, and reopen later that same week.

How exciting for the Ottawa area! Price Chopper has some great deals. I think that is it for the breaking news for now. :)

Happy Shopping!

Comps for 3/05

Hi everyone!

I am right smack dab in the middle of a crazy week/weekend. I literally shouldn't even have the time to post this but I can stay up an extra few minutes later. :)

My email is down for some odd reason so here is how you can access the lists:

Here is the Facebook page for The Comp List. I usually post them all here but you can at least get the one for Ottawa on it right this minute: https://www.facebook.com/GravesCompList

Here is where you can get the Iola List on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/196584803847917/

And the same for deal for the Atchison area: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Atchison-Couponers/165352763578828

If I find any extra time between finals, my papers, baby showers and the kids' events I will try to get them posted! Next week should be much slower for me. Sorry for the inconvenience!
