Anyway, I ran out to Walmart to get my lightbulbs and I found them. Most of the time I do not find the products I am after at this little Walmart. They seem to get the extra large sizes in, which is not the deals that I want with the coupons.

So I am stocked up on lightbulbs with 16 bulbs for $0.96. I purchased 8 items, so each item cost me $0.84. Cheaper than Dollar Tree, yah!
Coupon Tip: I tried to purchase the tiny Cutter candles, but the cashier was having a personal crisis with the fact that the candles were $0.97 and the coupon was for $1.00 off. I told her to just ring it down, but she said she could not do that. I know the policy and could have stood my ground, but with the husband and kids in tow it wasn't worth the time to educate the cashier this time. She was the only one open so the line was forming. I choose to put the items back and take back my coupons. I spotted a little bit larger candle at $1.97 so it will be $0.97 with the coupon. I'll pick it up next time. Choose your battles wisely. If it is a non-essential item that you can try for later, then just put it back for later. If it is the gallon of milk that the kids need and you do not have enough to pay for it, stand your ground on the coupon use without throwing a temper-tantrum.
