ifYou Haven't Used That Turkey Certificate yet ...

[Intrepid_Chef]

Here is the deal I got at Wal-Mart for a turkey dinner at my house with the 'Rents, after Roomie's surgery and the holidays:

14 lb. Butterball bird, on sale at Aldi's for $1.09. Wally World price matched it, reducing the price from $16 something to $14.35.
Stove Top Stuffing: 99 cents each. Again, they price matched my old Target ad, reducing the price to 89 cents.
Subtract the $15 turkey certificate and the $3 coupon on the stuffing when you buy it with a turkey, and that's a complete dinner for 91 cents.

Add in 69 cent celery and onions price matched, $1.99 potatoes also price matched, and my green beans I got for 15 cents a can before Thanksgiving, and that's a complete meal for less than $5.

surprised wal-mart accepted your certificate....they wouldn't accept mine. Said because it didn't have my name typed on it like the rest of the certificate was typed, their system rejected it.

I just inputted it as a check to my bank. Not a big turkey fan, would rather spend it on something else.

You go girl. That's some thrifty shopping there.

Janeen, your cashier should have done what mine did ... call the manager over. They processed it like a check toward my bill. Made me sign it and everything.By the way, the turkey was $15.35 after discount.

They did call the manager over, she was the one that said their system could not accept it the way it was printed.

That's bogus. I'm not 100 percent sure my name was on mine, but too late to check. And my host had no problem at Walmart either.

We're in Canada and I was at the customer service counter for something else when I overheard a conversation between a customer and the two staff and manager. Seems they wouldn't do it for her either since it wasn't written out to Walmart. They couldn't/wouldn't take 2nd party cheques. I walked over and asked her if she got that for hosting a PC show and told her to just take it to her bank and cash it since I'd heard from the wonderful gals here that it worked for them. There really shouldn't be so much hassle involved for rewarding our hosts for having a party!

WalMart is so iffy. I had a MANUFACTURER coupon that was printed out from a different store. It didn't have anything to do with that store and had manufacturer on the top of it and they still wouldn't take the coupon. That's fine, I took it some where else that would but a coupon is a coupon unless it says "only valid at..."

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

The other strange thing ... I first took the certificate to Aldi's (but passed because I wanted the Stove Top.) They said they didn't take coupons but they WOULD take these because they are checks. Another option for you if you're anti-Wal Mart or your Wal-Mart is anti-you!

It is not really a certficate it's a check , you can go to the bank and even cash it
