Price Match : Walmart allows you to Price Match LOCAL competitors advertised ad, thats the key word.. LOCAL. It states on their Ad Match Guarantee that you are NOT required to have the ad to honor the price... However, Take the Ad with you, save yourself time when you quickly show them the price on the ad.
1. Check all the grocery ad's that you receive in the Mail. I like to compare them to the items I have to purchase that week for my household. I find the cheapest price and write it down.
2.During my Check out I put all the items that I am Not Price Matching first on the belt. The items that I am Price Matching go last, I like to sort them by store. I let the cashier know that I am Price Matching before they ring up the item. This will save you some time and help the cashier.
* Please Pay attention to their Price Match Policy : it states that they will Not Honor
Buy 1 Get 1 Free sales.
% off a product (example, 10% off Milk)
Buy X item and get Y and Z for Free
Going out of Business Sales or Close out Sales
Items that require purchase to get a Gift Card

Pick out a Cashier : I know its horrible to say this out loud... BUT choose your cashier carefully. The reason why I say this is because choosing the right cashier will help you have a smoother check out process.
Coupon Policy and Price Match Policy : Always Remember to bring a copy of BOTH the Coupon Policy and the Price Match Policy. Remember that not everyone is trained accurately and might think that you are trying to do something you are no supposed to. Not that you are trying to do something you're not supposed to.. BUT sometimes I get the feeling like they think I'm trying to. Simply Remember to know what you are doing and do it correctly.
Happy Shopping at Walmart!!
