I just find it funny that you don't comply with your own store's policy. I assure you, Miss Jess, that if I were to come into your store, advise you of price matched items, which I would have researched ahead of time and had a list of, I would have made an absolute fool out of you if you had the audacity to to tell me you don't "Believe" me and that I need the ad. Having not only your customer service manager, but your store and regional managers involved in your little game would be a lot more fun for me than it would be for you. Let's get this straight, k pumpkin? You work at Walmart, where this GIANT corporation pays important people lots of money to make policies that people like you, that make, what - $7/hour? have to comply with. Sorry to burst your bubble, or remove you from your path to your power trip, but you DO have to comply with the policy, whether you think that someone is being truthful. Goodness - the money is not coming out of your trust fund from Mr Walton, trust me on that one. HA! I just find it funny that you don’t comply with your own store’s policy.

I would have assumed it to be the ads that come in our Sunday paper, but some people are having trouble price matching at our local Wal-Mart and I was just trying to confirm as I cannot find it anywhere.

Deal with it. My husband works at a walmart and doesn't feel the need to control prices. Walmart is lucky to be making that money when its cheaper somewhere else.

How can you price match a manufacture coupon? You can't. Fact is Walgreen's is getting that money reimbursed to them by the manufacture, if you were to price match it at wal-mart they would not get that money back. Plus if you look at the ad it states 'Sale Price' this is the price you can price match at wal-mart, then it saids 'Register Rewards good on next purchase x amount' then states 'like paying x amount'.... so price match the 'Sale Price' all you want but you can't price match a manufacture coupon aka register reward.

It's people like you who think just because you're the customer means everything should just he handed to you get over it, you knew it wasn't in the ad if you wanted it that bad go to the other store and get it. I work at a Walmart as a cashier and don't act like I'm. Ring mean but it does say plain as day it has to be in the ad and I dont know about other stores but the one I work at doesn't require the ads if the price is iffy we have ads at the register for that reason. If its not in there I'm not going to give it to you anyways Well of course they wouldn’t price match it you said it was an UNADVERTISED price they only price match prices in the printed ad.

USE IT! I live close to the WalMart home office, Bentonville, AR. Even when I travel to another state, I make sure they honor the WalMart policies. I've called the number many times and have yet to be disappointed. My local Dollar General sells Hiland Milk for $2 a gallon. The local WalMart Express has Great Value milk for $2 but Hiland is $4+. I make them price match the Hiland Milk for $2. YES THEY WILL DO IT. I've had a couple of clerks inform me that there was $2 a gallon milk in the dairy case - I tell them I do not like their GV milk and want Hiland for the $2 price. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE AD! WALMART POLICY!!! IF THEY ARGUE WITH YOU - CALL THE 800 NUMBER WHILE YOU ARE STANDING THERE IN THEIR LINE!! It helps to know what register number, time, who the cashier is and you can give all that while in the line! I bought cut-by-the-yard (CBTY) fabric from WalMart when JoAnne's Fabric's had coupons for 50% of one CBTY fabric. Yes Walmart matched the coupon. I showed it to them on my smart phone. I DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE PRINTED COUPON ON PAPER - ONLY ON MY PHONE. It's "MY" local trade territory - not "WalMart's" local trade territory. I usually keep it within a 5/6 mile radius. Happy Shopping - hope this helps! FYI – Here is a HUGE tip for all of you:

I bring my policy from corporate every time I shop just so I can call the rude checker checking me out a lier when they say they don't honor that. And as for the employees that are posting rude posts about customers on here...you act like as if your paycheck will be shorted if you comp an item. And also, if you have a problem with the policy corp has invented then complain to your CEO and quit calling your customers liarsi if everybody you angered went somewhere else to shop then you wouldn't have a job. Walmart is gonna get sued over this and im willing to bet im gonna be the one to take them to court if someone else doesn't sue them first.

When the coupon states 1 per transaction then you have to do seperate orders. Check out coupon divas for a better explanation and understanding.

For instance Tidy cat is sold for 9.98 a box. Albertsons (supermarket in our area) had it on sale in the ad for 5.99. I also had a coupon for1.75 off. It was an amazing purchase for me. I saved over 50 %. I was not sure if I had to show the add or not so I made a list. Listed the grocery stores then what items i wanted and for what price on a piece of paper. Circled the items in the flyers with a sharpie. It took that sales lady no longer to ring up my purchases then if I had not used the price match. I ended up saving a total of around 80 dollars. I came to this site because i am not totally aware of policy on meat and veggies. I was saddened to see so many complaints here. We have two super wall marts in our area. One does have prices a bit cheaper then the other. It is NOT worth the extra couple of miles to shop in a seedy neighborhood to save a few pennies. For Christmas i bought my daughter the Suzuki Quad ride on toy. It was 20 dollars cheaper online. My bad. I didnt plan i was shopping at the last minute no time to have it delivered. I spoke to a store manager he told me he could NOT match the online price from walmart.com i was upset so he gave me free assembly. And pick up the next day! I really dont have any complaints. Walmart gives so much to so many charities every year shopping with them is just my way of pitching in too.. Plus the money i save on gas makes it great too. ONE STOP SHOP!

A few days ago, we went to go for our grocery shopping. We matched everything correctly(ex. ounces, lbs, limits, etc) and when we were about to pay, the cashier told us he needed the csm approval. We didn't think much of it, until the csm looked at our total and then our amount of groceries and said the cashier had done it 'wrong'. I checked everything as the cashier was pricing it and it was all right! After waiting for the long line and then going through our groceries, we had to take another 30mins on another seperate register with the manager. Our original total was about 98$ and the manager didn't do all of our ad pricing putting up a lot of excuses that they weren't right, this was wrong, only this store could do it, blah blah blah. We ended up having to pay 136$. I know ya'll might be too busy to even read this, but I just wanted to share this bad shopping experience.
