My wife and I had always heard that WalMart did some type of price matching. However, we always thought it was to much trouble to deal with. I did a little research on the Internet about price matching and only heard about complaints and how it did not work for someone. We finally came across an Ebook by Brenda Lee called “The Unofficial Guide to WalMart Price Matching.” After reading this book it became very apparent why some people had complaints. They just didn’t do their home work.
Price Matching is not something magic or mysterious. It simply involves doing your home work first before you go to the store. One of the basic rules is know which stores they match and which stores they don’t match. They have pretty well laid out rules for each individual store and there are some good techniques on how to find out. Also, you have to understand the type of ads they do match and the ones they don’t match.
It is a good read and I recommend highly studying her 5 basic rules. They are not hard to master and easy to understand. Now when we go shopping we only go to WalMart. We have a new motto in our family, “Everything is on Sale All of the Time!” We can literally save hundreds of dollars a month off our shopping bill. My wife can go to a store and get 2 shopping carts full of meat, produce, clothes, toys, tools and more on pay less than $100.00. I have seen people with the exact kind of goods pay twice as much as us standing in line just in front of us.
I can truly say price matching does work. I am not really a WalMart fan. I will never believe again that they are the “Low Price Leader.” In fact, I have come to understand that they are usually more expensive than everyone else in town in most everything. However, it is very convenient to get everything you need or want at one store and take advantage or all of the sales at all the other stores at the same time.
So don’t be afraid to price match. I just suggest that you do a little homework before you do, so you know exactly what to expect. Each store has its own idiosyncrasies. But you can use them to your advantage also.
For those of you who hate WalMart, this is your chance to take them down. I guarantee you they don’t make a profit off of us. If they do, the margin is very slim. If everyone actually priced matched they would go under fast.
