You may have heard the Wal-Mart price matches. Sounds good doesn’t it? But a lot of people don’t take advantage of it because they don’t really know what it means.
Just yesterday I read a Facebook status from a friend who said they saved $30 just by price matching at Wal-Mart. Imagine being able to save actual money just by using other stores ads! Sounds pretty great doesn’t it? Here how you can do it.
1. Gather up ads from all your different stores. Note the best deals and write them down. For example if you see Kroger has Granny Smith apples on sale for $.49 cent a pound, write that down in your list and keep a hold of the ad. Do this until you’ve made a list of everything you want to price match. It will be easier if you have a list with what paper the ad is in. Being organized with this is very important so that checking out goes smoother.
2. Study the Wal-Mart ad matching rules listed below. You can also print one out HERE.
We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:
Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price
Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO)
Competitors’ ads that feature a specific item for a specified price.
Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad.
For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each)
*The following are guidelines and limitations:
We will match any local competitor’s advertised price.
We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor’s ad.
Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.)
We DO NOT match the price in the following types of competitor ads:
Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price
example: “Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C”
Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product
example: “Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free”
Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card
example: “Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card
Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given
Going out of business or closeout prices
Percentage off
example: “All mascara, 40% off”
Competitors’ private label price promotions
We do not honor:
Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined.
Internet pricing
Misprinted ad prices of other retailers
“Going out of business” sales or “close out” prices
3. Go to Wal-Mart with your list and your advertisements. Do your normal shopping, but keep these things you want to price match together.
4. Check out. Keep your price matching items separate from your regular items. It would actually be best to do them last so your cashier can be warned you will be price matching. Have the rules of price matching with you so that if you hit a snag, you can refer to them.
5. Save money!
