Couponing in CoMo 101: Take your Aldi's ad to Walmart!

One of the ways we saved HUGE today was price matching at Walmart for produce using our Aldi's ad from the Sunday paper. The Walmart commercials say you don't need the ad but I take it anyways because some of the price differences were big. I also put all the produce that I wanted to price match at the front of my order so I could walk through the changes with the cashier, not take up extra time in line and keep the process simple.
This is our haul from today:
Pineapple whole- .99 each, 10lbs potatoes- $1.69 a bag, Strawberries 1lb- $1.29, Cantaloupe- .99 each! And you can buy more than 1! I kept the ad and we plan to do the deal a couple of times this week to really stock up.
And trust me- I didn't rob Walmart and I did like their prices on produce without the Aldi's ad. Our Broadway Walmart had 3 lb bags of Cuties oranges for $2.50 and that same bag is almost $5 at some local grocery stores. And of course we bought WAY more than produce so the price matching is just a "Get you in the door, inhale the crazy Walmart air that makes you forget why you came to Walmart, spend way more than you planned and swear you aren't going back again but will be back in a day or so" marketing genius plan!
I know the 2lbs of strawberries we bought will be gone in a day or two so we will be doing this price matching deal all week!
