Quick Tip on Price Matching

I PM because I live 5 minutes from Walmart and I only do it when I have a q that is over .50 that I know will not be double at my other grocery stores. It is especially helpful for those quick trips to get milk or something when it is on sale other places.

Great ideas. I didn't think about the milk thing. Kroger is over 20 miles away and WM is close, so I think I will do that too. Thank you
P.S. I just think all of you HCW people are wonderful!

Do you know if they accept the fliers being printing off the internet? For example, I don't get Kroger, K-Mart or Targe sale fliers, but I can print them online.

Any advice?

As long as the ad dates are visible, I don't think you would have a problem. YMMV though. Just make sure the stores are located in your PM range. Most stores have to be in a 30 to 50 mile range to be able to PM.

What about 2-fer sales. Like if a competitor says 2/$5. Will they PM those?

[ostatecoupongal]

yes, they will. I always have it divided out for them to make it easier and my cashiers always thank me :).
ex: 2/$5- just tell them $2.50 each
B1G1F- say it was 4.50 an item, I tell them 2.25 and item, etc.

I had a problem Pming tonight.

I had the CVS ad and I wanted to PM the Venus Breeze and the CSM told me no because it was after a rebate type thing. That you have the pay full price and get your money back at the end. I always PM and never been told this. Has anyone else had this problem?

Will they PM when the ad says, $.$$ with card?

[knucklemama]

This is the problem I have with my WM now. They say if you have to have a card to get the savings at say CVS, Albertsons, Kroger, Tom Thumb, etc. that they will not price match those. I also cannot get my WM to take internet coupons anymore. Although, I have the corporate policy stating they do.

stupid q... but HOW do you price match? Do you just bring the ad to the cashier, or do you have to go through CS first?
