How to Price Match at Walmart to Save the Most Money
Walmart has everyday low prices. Everybody knows that. But did you know you could be saving loads more money at Walmart by price matching. Price matching means if a local store is having a sale on something that Walmart will match give you that same price for the same item if you ask them. That means you can get most of the sale prices at 10 different places all at one store. What a money and time saver!

Gather your sale flyers and find the best deals. Make a list of the deals you want noting item, price and store. For example:
Romaine lettuce, $0.49/lb, Safeway
Cheerios 8oz., $1.00, Albertson's
Aquafresh toothpaste, $1.50, CVS -

Know Walmart's price matching policies.
a. Meat and produce has to have the exact wording in order to get a price match. And be aware that your cashier may well need to call a manager over to successfully price match it.b. "Buy One Get One Free" sales are not honored unless the ad also states the price (such as 2/$5.00).
c. Walmart will not price match a percentage off - for example, all L'oreal products 30% off.

Research your particular store as some policies vary from store to store. Ask at Customer Service if they:
• match specials that require a customer loyalty card.
• they honor competitor's coupons.
* match store brand to store brand. -

Go to your Walmart with the sale flyers. Most stores require them.

Gather your products in your cart and bring them to the front. Ask the supervisor which cashier would be best for price matching. Every cashier should be able to do it but that's in an ideal world. If you find the best cashier, it will make everything run smoother.

6
If you have items that are not to be price matched place them on the belt first. Place your items to be price matched together last on the conveyor belt. As the cashier takes each item to be price matched tell him/her the price of each item. Sometimes the cashier will ask from which store the price was taken. Your list will come in handy for this. Be prepared to hand over the pertinent ad to the cashier.

I am nervous to do the price match at walmart. I have never tried because I have had problems just using coupons there. They question everything, I do understand but sometimes it is intimidating and not worth the hassle. But I am going to give it a try today!

I live in a rural town has only a couple of grocery stores and neither will double/triple coupons. I searched my Walmart's address on Google maps and found EVERY grocery store within 50 miles that has their weekly ad online. I read the ad on line, list the best prices on my grocery list and DO NOT take the ad with me to Walmart. (NOTE: Walmart's current policy does NOT require having the ad with you.) My Walmart will match store brand prices, too. I save 50% average on produce & fresh meat with this method... This is great because this is 2 areas that seldom have coupons available. The best part is we eat more fresh fruits & veggies this way.

this is a joke and a rip-off that walmart puts out to get you in the store. it is a bait and switch. I have gone 2 different times to the walmart in garner nc and have had lots of issues. I e-mailed walmart and they had the store call me. they said they needed to train employees are the right way to ring items. the next week I had the same issues. I had to wait 20 mins. to see a mgr. they did offer to fix it, but at that point it was not worth my time. don't shop at this rip-off gaint. they are dishonest and liers.
