Princessarky Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I was told by a csm in Texarkana AR that they WILL be price matching the sale ads there.......I still don't know about my local store BUT if they have better sales going at all the stores than last year I will drive the 45 minutes to get in on all the great deals rather than go to the wal-mart in my area
elena_398 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I asked my Walmart and the one cashier said she didn't know, but didn't see why not. She said they received no memo on it nor did any manager say anything during a meeting they had

civicracinggirl7 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 going to walmart on any regular day is already hassle enough. we usually wait and go around 10pm or later at the 24-hour wal-marts... i couldn't imagine being there on black friday... wm would really need to get their act together for it. i couldn't even buy a dvd last week there because the guy working couldn't be bothered to come around and open the case.
Tracy72 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 what do you do to price match...take the paper with you and they put that price in instead of theres....is it alot of time comsuming for them to do...and do the cashiers do it...
chrisandjana Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 My Walmart pm's they post the grocery ads and usually you just tell them what the correct price is. It takes like 2 seconds and a couple of key strokes to pm. Here, the cashiers automatically pm milk, b/c they are the highest in town, so all of the cashiers know when its on sale somewhere else. If its a really rare thing I take the sales add in, but usually when I make my grocery list I just write off to the side what the price is at the other stores, then just tell them as I go through the line. I've actually had women pull out a pen and paper and write down prices as I was telling the cashiers. I've even had cashiers write the prices down as well for themselves. Afterall, they have to buy groceries or whatever too. Also, if its a store brand thats on sale, my WM will price match it with their store brand (Great Value, Equate etc.) And, if you have coupons you can still use them along with your price match. I actually save about $100.00 a month by doing this, and its a lot less hassle than shuffling the kids from store to store.
Gator Pam Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I am so looking forward to our Wal-Mart SuperCenter finally being built just so I can pm groceries in one place. Now, if only they doubled coupons, I'd be ecstatic!
elena_398 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Im sure they are still pm. Not sure why they wouldn't as that gives them so much more an edge on shopping BF. Toys R Us stopped doing it (which is ridiculous) so they are pretty much the only ones left
Princessarky Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 I'm in SW Arkansas and asked at my WalMart and they will price match.

Princessarky Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 Thank you for your message. This is the reply that I got so I am going to phone my local manager to find out if they are doing texarkana (they normally do on everyday stuff so hopefully they will be on this as well) Wal-Mart will match local competitor's ads for exact items (all things identical, description, brand, etc.) Except: Gimmick Ads (Percents off, buy one get one free, you must make additional purchases to receive a discounted price, etc.) Local competition is usually a radius area around a store and the store manager and the district manager determine this. If you are having problems with price matching, please contact your local store management. Thank you, Customer Relations
