Is Price Matching Worth It?

[hopeky94]

First-- K&M, you should have been allowed to use your Q when PM'ing! I would suggest going to Walmart's website and printing out their coupon policy, then keeping it in your coupon organizer so you'll have it handy if they want to hassle you about it again...

As for the original topic-- I don't PM too often, but when I do it's because we have several stores within PM'ing distance (Target, Meijer, Best Buy, & others) but are too far away to justify the 30-minute drive for just a couple of items!

There is one day a year that I am VERY thankful for Walmart pricematching: Black Friday (aka the day after Thanksgiving)! I've gotten some really good deals on movies and other electronics by matching Best Buy's BF ad, and even a few food/household items PM'd with Meijer's BF ad! :)

I'm all about how much gas and time I'm spending when I'm deal-hunting. My house is located in a perfect spot for most shopping. I can drive a total of 18 miles in a loop, and go to Kroger, Meijer, CVS, Walgreens, 2 local grocery stores, Target, Aldi and Rite Aid (the loop also includes the bank, library, post office, goodwill and some other small stores).

You forgot Krispy Kreme! I would gain 10 pounds if I lived over there! =)

This covers it for me! Sometimes you can get overage doing a PM VS going to the original store for the item and not getting overage.

This and sometimes I get longer exp dates by pming at Walmart.
