All You Magazine is on RollBack at Walmart this month!
Every single time I try to find this magazine at my local Walmart, I have never been able to find it. I assume that they normally charge you the cover price of $2.49 an issue.
For the next few weeks, Walmart has this magazine on sale for only $1.88! So that's a savings of $0.61 (before tax)!
Knowing that my subscription is not going to kick in for at least another month, I just ran to Walmart (on my lunch break!) to see if I could grab the May issue on sale. To my surprise my store actually had the magazine! I have been contemplating going to other Walmart locations to see if they have it. But today I found at least 4 copies of the May issue at my store! I was so excited that I decided to grab two of them.
I ran to a price scanner to make sure that they were in fact ringing up $1.88 an issue instead of $2.49. If they were not on sale I was only going to buy one. But they did ring up on sale so I decided to grab 2.
I have heard of plenty of couponers out there who have multiple subscriptions to this magazine to maximize the amount of items they can be saving on. So I didn't think it was too strange for me to get two.
Let's just hope that the May issue is choked-full of awesome money-saving coupons that I will want (since I will have doubles). Let's also hope that these coupons do not expire for a while...And that I haven't missed too many good sales already. Hopefully I have plenty of time and sales left to use my two magazines worth (or at least some of them, assuming I won't actually use all) of coupons up!
The cover says that there is "$85.32 worth of coupons in this issue".
So if it were not on sale, then my two magazines (before tax) would have cost $4.98 for $170.64 worth of coupons.
But since it was on sale, I paid only $3.76 (before tax) for $170.64 worth of coupons.
$4.98 - $3.76 = Savings of $1.22
And to take it a step further, I actually had a Walmart gift-card that I have been forgetting to use for many months. I finally remembered to use it today. Thus making my $170.64 worth of coupons actually absolutely free! :)
Because of my gift-card, I was actually tempted to purchase more than two of the magazines...But I decided to wait until the June issue comes out. If my subscription hasn't kicked in by then, then I will want to go to Walmart to buy the June issue, and I can use the rest of my gift-card on that if I haven't used it on anything else by then. Or, I can always just spend the $1.88 for another book of coupons...Or $2.49 if it is not on sale anymore. I am sure that the $2.49 pays for itself if you are really into couponing.
Either way, I am excited to look through the magazine and see what coupons it contains! (Twice) :-)
Haha I couldn't wait to take a picture of my two copies!
