Walmart Price Matches!

 I Love Walmart because they offer price matching! Which means you can bring in any other competitors ads and Walmart will honor the price.
There are some stipulations such as $10 for 10 deals or when the store is offering money off when you buy particular items. But, for the most part Walmart is a great way to do ONE STOP shopping. Saving you TIME and MONEY.
  Basically what you would do is get a list together of all the things you want to price match from all the different stores ads. Have the item's written down, price and where. Also, be careful when you are grabbing the item off the shelf that you take a look at the price because Walmart may offer a better price. Remember you can always use coupons on top the the advertised price!
  So, when you go to check out place your price match items on the register very last and let the cashier know ahead of time that you will be price matching those items. When the cashier gets to those items I usually will just tell him the price and which store I got the price from. I have never been asked to show the ad to them. It isn't a bad idea though to have the ad handy. Which helps make things go MUCH faster in line. It works like a Charm!
Try it and let me know how it goes for you.

Here are some price matches I might do this week:
        Dick's Marketplace:
       - Bolthouse 1 lb baby carrots $.89

       SuperSaver (Never been there but I get their ad):
      -3 for $5 Grandma Sycomore's Bread (White or Wheat) Just because it is 3 for $5 doesn't mean you have to buy 3. You can get them for 1.67 each.
      - Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna 2 for $1 (my plan is to buy 4 and hopefully get all 4 free)
             Use the $1 off 1 coupon and possible get .50 in overage towards your groceries or the cashier may lower the coupon value to only .50. Either way free tuna.
      - Fresh Express Iceberg Garden Salad 12 oz. $.98
     
          Family Dollar:
      - Luvs Jumbo Pack Diapers $7.00
           Use the $1/1 coupon from P&G (coupon insert) 09/27/09 (date they came in the newspaper)
             = 6.00 for Jumbo pack is not too bad
   
* The last time I was at Walmart a lady in Guest Services told me that if another store brand item was on sale, they would price match it to the same Walmart brand item. i.e. If Smith's brand cottage cheese is $1.00 then you can get the Walmart brand cottage cheese, which in most cases is "Great Value" for $1.00.
