I found mine in a small clearance section in the cleaning supplies aisle. For those of you in the Atlanta area, these were at the Walmart of Windward Parkway. And that hand belongs to a lovely employee who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

FREE Bath Puff at Walmart!
I know we're still in the midst of summer (I'm in GA, no need to remind me!) but now's the time to start wrapping your head around the upcoming Christmas season. A great idea for inexpensive gifts are homemade Spa-themed gift baskets. Between these poufs and the 59¢ Greek soaps at Publix a couple of weeks ago, I'd say I'm off to a great start.
With deals like this, when December rolls around, all you'll have to do is open your linen closet (or wherever you keep your HBA stockpile) and fill those baskets! So FYI - I'm tagging this and all future great deals with gift potential under the Christmas on a Budget tab - so check back frequently for more ideas!

Christmas Gift Alert - 1¢ Gift Sets!
We know how I feel about that retail monstrosity that shall not be named *cough*Walmart*cough* but there are many of you who don't have many shopping options in your neck of the woods. So while I am still boycotting doing their weekly ad and coupon matchups, here is a deal that is too good for many of you to pass up.
With Christmas just around the corner, all of the gift sets and baskets are appearing in masses on retail shelves. Included are Olay, Venus and other HBA brands and are priced at $10. Inside is a voucher for a FREE magazine subscription, but you can opt out of the subscription and get a $9.99 rebate instead! This makes each basked 1¢!
YMMV by store, but you could try to use a coupon for one of the items included in the basket, but I wouldn't try more than one.
Here are some of the participating gift sets:
Teen Vogue Gift Set — $10
Gillette Men’s Total Grooming Gift Set — $15
The Best in Beauty Allure Award-Winners Gift Set — $15
Venus Embrace Beautifully Smoothing Gift Set — $10
Olay Luscious Indulgence Gift Set — $10
Gillette Men’s Face & Body Gift Set — $10
Olay Luscious Embrace Holiday Gift Set — $10
Update: The rebate is limted to one per household.

Open Letter to Walmart Corporate
Last night I had the experience from Hell at Walmart. Here is my open letter to them, also submitted on their website. Feel free to share via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I am trying to get the word out because I'm pretty pissed and it's time for Walmart to shape up.
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express my horrible experience at store 4436. I was in the store last night with my partner, and since we were already there, I decided to take advantage of the price matching guarantee instead of making an extra stop at Publix. I was price matching dog food, and picked up a few other things as well. I had little difficulty finding the items I needed, but the trip turned for the worst at checkout.
The cashier was very unfriendly, and uncooperative in price matching. When presented with the ad, she retrieved her supervisor, who told me that since the price was not listed in the ad, they couldn't price match it. Keep in mind, I pointed out the printed price in the ad at least five times. I was told that they could not count on that being the price, and that I would need to know the exact price of the item at the local Publix. I told them that I have bought this product from Publix many times, and could guarantee that it was the correct price. I was then told that they would price match, but only as a "courtesy" and not to let it happen again. Then I handed over my coupons to be scanned. Yes, I'm a couponer, but I don't label myself as an extreme couponer, I use my coupons correctly. I was told that my coupons wouldn't be accepted because they had "already done me the favor of price matching." I spoke with the cashier, her supervisor, and someone else called over that I presume was the manager on duty. He however, did not identify himself. I was told again that they were already doing me a favor by allowing the price match, especially since the Walmart price on the dog food was 2¢ less than the Publix price. I even offered to reimburse them the 2¢ per bag difference (26¢). I had a copy of the coupon policy thrust in my face like a criminal, although I showed them a copy of said policy, which I keep in my coupon binder. I reminded them that my coupons were actually making them money, as they were refunded the value plus 8¢ .
After debating for 20 minutes, I asked if I should take my business to Publix, and they immediately said yes and voided the transaction. I walked away leaving a cart of merchandise worth $150. Keep in mind this was a light shopping trip for me, yet still totaled $150.
I understand the concerns of coupon fraud due to the recent coupon craze. However, I did nothing wrong. I use my coupons correctly per the verbage on each coupon and in compliance with each store's coupon policy. I teach people to coupon and write a couponing blog, and have always sang the praises of Walmart's low prices and price matching. That will end as I have no interest in promoting this type of behavior. I have no intentions of spending a day's worth of pay at your establishment to be treated as a subpar person. Yes, my salary averages out daily to what I was trying to spend in your store last night. I won't be returning. It is unfortunate that your staff is either not properly educated on the coupon policy, or are too incompetent to comprehend it. If your stores can't grasp the coupon policy or price matching guarantee, then it shouldn't be offered. I understand that you are a huge retailer, and I am just a drop in the bucket of customers. I do intend to share my experience through blogging and social media to prevent this from happening to anyone else. I hope this can be rectified so that no other customer has to go through the embarrassment of trying to save money in this economy. I would rather pay more for my purchases elsewhere, where I am treated with common courtesy and respect as a human being.
Not a Valued Customer,

Note to readers: due the my public boycott of Walmart, they will no longer be mentioned in this blog as I will not support mistreatment of "Valued Customers." The weekly Walmart ad will be replaced with Meijer for our northern friends.
