I am so stinkin' excited because I tried out price matching at the new Walmart in our area this morning and it actually worked! Last week, PPP reader Ada asked why I didn't price match Aldi's great produce prices at Walmart more often (ummm ~ ever), and to be honest, I've just never taken the time to try it out. We also haven't had a Walmart near our home until recently, so making an extra trip with our crazy schedule just wasn't going to happen!
Today though, I decided to see if it worked and I'm soooo excited to let you know it did. Aldi's had bananas in their ad for $.44/lb. and a 3 lb. bag of apples for just $1.99, so I paid $2.93 plus tax for what would have normally cost $5.08 at Walmart. While I know that isn't a huge savings, it did help squeeze a few more dollars out of our grocery budget, and I'll definitely be purchasing more in the future. (I wanted to make sure it worked first!) I didn't have an Aldi's ad, so I pulled up the prices on my phone which was all the cashier needed. Success!
(Note ~ if possible I think it is best to have the ad of the store you're price matching at in hand . . . they may accept it from your phone but the real ad is always best!)
Don't forget you can also take advantage of Walmart's Savings Catcher program while you're at it.Â
Have you tried out price matching before at Walmart? I'd love to hear what tips you have! Â If you haven't tried it before it might just be worth a shot, and I'd love to know how it goes for you.
Thanks Ada for the great tip ~ I love learning something new about pinching those pennies! Be sure to also check out this week's best deals at Aldi's and Walmart before heading out.
