My Trip to Walmart Last Night

* This post is written from my personal experience at our Iron Mountain, MI Walmart. Each Walmart may be different in how they carry out their coupon/ad matching policy.

I decided to really take Walmart at their word last night....They are really promoting their "matching any store's prices policy," and so I decided to put it to the test.

I told you here about how our Iron Mountain, MI Walmart has had "five deals" each week. These are basically the top five "price matches" from nearby stores.

They also price-match competitor coupons and ads (even from more than 50 miles away - such as Target.)

I went in super organized. I had cut out the pictures/prices of the things I wanted in the Super One, Econo and even Ebeling's in Norway, MI. (I did this for my own benefit, so I wasn't standing there flipping through the ad at the checkout.) I had also cut out the Target coupons that I wanted to use. Next, I grouped these with the manufacturers coupons that I wanted to use on the same products. The trickiest part was making sure that I put these items aside when I checked out - keeping them to the back so I could stick the ad picture/coupon on top of it.

Here are the price-match deals that I got:
