Price Matching at Walmart- Super Tip for Produce

Photobucket
I checked out Money Saving Mom's blog yesterday and found a GREAT tip that I haven't thought about. I'm sure everyone has seen the new Walmart Price Matching commercials. Basically, cashiers are now able to price match at their register if you show them an ad from a competitor with a lower price. Their policies say you don't have to have an ad but I think with so many different Walmart cashiers- I would have all my ducks in a row and have proof that I know the price of an item I would like them to match.

Produce is high and all across the board price wise right now. The lowest prices in the Atlanta area are coming from Aldi's. However, the quality of the produce hasn't been that great- and we checked 2 different locations this week and found the same issues. For example, strawberries were cheap but all the containers had berries that were very ripe or even some with mold in them. There is an Aldi's ad in the Sunday paper this week with deals on Vidalia onions, green peppers and tomatoes on the vine.

I've never thought to price match Aldi's since most of their brands are generic or off market but the produce isn't! So take your ad to Walmart and stock up on what produce is on sale this week. And from what I understand- you can purchase more than one of an item at the "price matched" price!

Great tip, good to know and I plan to be price matching at Walmart from here on out!
