Repost: Decoding Bar Codes & Huggies Wipes Deal

Have you ever wondered whether the coupon you have in your hand will work on the item you'd like to purchase? In most cases if the first set of numbers on your coupon (12345 above) matches the first set of numbers on your product the coupon will work. If the Coupon NSC is 5 that means your coupon will double even if the coupon says "Do Not Double". Just make sure to check the coupon wording and buy the correct number of items or combination of items. This knowledge really has come in handy for me when I'm buying an item and the wording on the coupon is vague.

Here is an example, and a possible great deal for you if your Walmart carries these Huggies 40-64 count travel pack baby wipes priced at $1.12-1.50, with barcode starting with 0 36000:

Use the recent 1/11/09 Smartsource $1/1 Any Huggies Bath & Body Product coupon with bar code 5 36000. Kimberly Clark, maker of Huggies, has noted that baby wipes are part of their bath and body line of products. In my experience this coupon does not beep at Walmart, and they've never questioned it. However, if they say they won't take them there is not much you can do except try again another day with another cashier.
