MY WALMART TRIP - PRICE MATCHING = SAVING GAS!

Price Matching at Walmart can be a great way to save on gas and even make some money on the overage from your coupons! 
In this trip I price matched from Fred Meyer, Kmart & Shopko.

Since none of these stores are close to me, I would have spent a fortune in gas! 
Not to mention my time!  Which is worth a lot to me!!

To have a pleasant and successful "price matching" trip at Walmart I go through my own little check list:
  • Make a detailed list of what I want to buy & what store ad it goes with
  • Make sure tevery item I want to price match follows the rules in Walmarts Coupon Policy
  • Make sure I have Walmarts Coupon Policy with me in case I have any issues at checkout.
  • Pull any coupons that may go with those items and paperclip them together
  • When at the store make sure you are grabbing the EXACT ITEM listed in the ad
  • Once checking out be sure to let your cashier know you are price matching before she rings anything up. 
I FIND THAT MAKING SURE I DO THESE FEW LITTLE STEPS I HAVE A SMOOTH  AND QUICK SHOPPING TRIP.
