Hooray for Wal-Mart's Anniversary Sale!

**Daisygirl** · 09-17-2011, 04:49 PM

I hit the motherlode by accident today. I went to Walmart to pick up one item (which I forgot, I might add) and saw the flyer for their anniversary sale. It's always by far the best sale of the year.

I spent $130 and replenished my stockpile beautifully.

I got............

2 Lysol Wipes
4 boxes of Tampons
6 Irish Spring
24 Mr. Noodle
6 Kraft Dinner
2 lbs barley
24 rolls TP
12 rolls paper towels
6 bags Bits and Bites
8 boxes of Ritz
6 boxes of Ritz Bits with cheese
3 pounds of pears
3 pounds of peaches
10 pounds of Folgers Coffee
4 jugs of liquid Tide

Yippeee~~~~~~~~~~~

Neither did I, maybe it is when the store opened in your area, I do not know.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing - all the Wal Marts here have them, and yes, they relate to when they opened.

One nod to the economy: usually the sales last two weeks. This year it's one week only. If some money falls from the sky I am going to go back and get some more coffee and Tide.

If you see some money falling from the sky let me know, better yet collect some and save some for me, Please.

I also didn't know they had an anniversary sale. Sounds great and I would go back too.
Sounds like you got some great deals. Love it when a sale comes together.

After reading your post a few days ago I went over and picked up some of the Folgers coffee and Irish Spring. Man oh man that store was busy!

**monkeywrangler71** · 09-25-2011, 06:09 PM

Maybe it's the anniversary of when they came to Canada? I don't know if the flyer is national or regional, but I didn't find the sale that great this year.

I do believe the anniversary sale has been going on for the past three years with this being the third year here in Canada. I usually stock up on dish soap (Dawn) and snacky items for lunches at this sale (Pringles, Crispers, snacking crackers etc)

This year I did manage to stock up on Pringles, Crispers & Ritz, Listerine, feminine products, Dawn, both Mr Clean & Lysol products, Charmin, Bounty and a few other misc things. The bonus this year, I was given SUPER AWESOME high dollar value, 2 for 1 and B1G1 free coupons. Man did I ever have to wrangle the cashiers into going to check with their managers about my coupons while I held up the line for those bargains. Well worth it if you ask me and I did apologize to the person behind me and warn them of my coupons as a courtesy.

The other bonus to the annual Walmart Anniversary sale - the other big box stores try to compete so they have great sales too: Loblaws/Superstore, Canadian Tire, Zellers. I found that Loblaws had Cascade dishwasher tabs on sale for $4.99/25ct and they had a $2 off coupon on the big board next to where you pick up your shopping cart. Awesome!
