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.
