Many stores will Price Match the Weekly Store Advertisements you get in the Newspaper–�including Wal-Mart .� This can really help us save even more, especially when you can stack coupons on top of the price matching deal!�
However, there may be a few tricky rules you are not aware of:
1- If the weekly ad says “While Supplies Last”, that means the store does not have to honor the price match if the advertisting store is out-of-stock.�
For example:� RC Willey had New Moon listed in their ad for $8.95.� In extremely small print it said “While Supplies Last”.� So, you wouldn’t have been able to price match this deal once RC Willey ran out.� So, remember that the next time you see a great deal in an ad.**And the store managers will call and check to see if the other store is still in stock, so keep that in mind.
2- If the weekly ad says “No Rainchecks”, that means that once they are out-of-stock, you cannot request a Raincheck to get it later at the same price.� Most of the time, Rainchecks are a great way to still get the deal at the advertised price a week later and still use your coupons.� But, if it has the limitations printed next to the item, you are out of luck.� That is one of the deals you will want to get there first thing for, so you don’t miss out.� You may find that stores will not honor the price matching once the advertisting store is out of stock too!
To help you out when price matching at Wal-Mart, print out and keep their Price Matching Policy with you.
Sometimes managers will tell you that they don’t price match with a certain store.� As long as the competing store is within their local trade territory, they DO need to price match.� Ask them what their Local Trade Territory is, if a manager tries to tell you they don’t price match.� That should help you out.� From what I have been told, it is usually around 30 miles.� And if you still have problems, contact Wal-Mart corporate.
