Price Matching

The purpose of couponing and deal hunting is to save money. But how can you save money if all of your deals are located at different stores? PRICE MATCH!!!

Nearly all stores offer some form of price matching. Price matching is when a store will sell you an item at their competitor's lower price. For example, if Food World has strawberries on sale for .$99/lb, Walmart will honor that price and sell you strawberries for the same price. Each store has its own price matching policy. Some require you to provide a printed ad showing the lower price. Some take your word for it and give you the lower price. A store's goal is to have you as a repeat customer. So if you want to purchase something at their store for a lower price, they're just glad you chose to shop at their store instead of their competitor.

It is very helpful, (you're saving time and money) to become familiar with your favorite store's price matching policy. Below are links to few stores' policies. Although the information listed on the website usually applies throughout the chain of stores, check with your local store for any local restrictions. Each local store maintains a list of who they consider to be their competitor and whose ads they will match. For example, my Walmart will not price match Publix because the nearest Publix is 40+ miles away.

So, if you're loyal to one store or see something on sale at multiple stores, use the price match policy to keep from missing out on good deals. You'll not only save money, you'll save gas and time.

March Shopping Tips

Continuing with my monthly shopping tips, below are the best items to get a deal on during the month of March:

Winter coats (again, stores are making room for spring items; the first 2 weeks of March is usually the latest you will see winter items)

Jewelry (after Valentine's Day, there's a lull in jewelry shopping until Mother's Day in May)

Winter sports equipment (making room for spring items)

Gas grills (before it gets warm and prices go up due to demand)

Happy shopping!!!!
