But while bargains abound on plenty of products, there's one way you can score an even lower price on certain groceries.

The Krazy Coupon Lady says that produce, meat, and bakery items at Walmart are marked down one day before their "best by" date at 8 p.m. To get the best price on these goods while they're still fresh, you should hit the store right at 8 or shortly thereafter. She also encourages shoppers to seek out an employee if you check the "best by" date and notice it hasn't been properly marked down, so you can ensure that you're getting the best price.
Shopping for your produce, meat, and bakery items this way means that you'll get them in the sweet spot when they're still fresh enough but you're scoring a great deal. It just takes the right timing to get you the best price.

Jump on Rollbacks when you see them.
Clearance items can continue to drop further in price, so it could be worth watching the item for a bit to see if Walmart slashes the price any lower. However, according to the Krazy Coupon Lady, Rollbacks can go the opposite way, sending them back to their original, higher price. If you see an item that you've been eyeing as a Rollback, jump on it quickly in case it climbs in price again.

The Krazy Coupon lady says seeing a clearance item discounted any more than 60 percent is fairly uncommon. If you see an item marked this low or even lower, snatch it up. However, she notes that if you do see something discounted more than 60 percent, it's likely to drop even lower.
