The savings are obtained from TRU. Let's say he gets 4 wave 1 or wave 2 deluxes from TRU with the current sale of buy-1-get-one-half off, then applies the $20 off $50 coupon. That's basically 4 deluxes for $40.
Then you take said product from TRU to a Walmart and as he suggested, exchange them without a receipt for Walmart's stock of wave 3 deluxes. Some Walmarts will do straight exchange for product they carry themselves even without a receipt. Since the UPC's of wave 1 and wave 2 deluxes will still scan and be recognized in Walmart's system, they know they can sell it; some stores will return them to a gift card as store credit only, which is sometimes a moot point to the CSR because they know the customer can just spend the store credit right away so they'll honor the no-receipt exchange. That's where the savings are: the savings are obtained at TRU, then the product gets exchanged at Walmart. YMMV. Apparently the Walmart that evenstaves goes to will allow that sort of thing, but it's not a standard practice company wide.
