Just as an FYI we thought we would point out some changes to the Walmart Price Matching Policy. It might make things a little more difficult when price matching, but it’s still worth it! These changes will make people be a little more honest, and that’s a good thing.

Here is the updated Walmart Price Matching Policy,
“We’re committed to providing low prices every day. On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we’ll match it. Right at the register.
We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:*

• Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price
  Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO)
• Competitors’ ads that feature a specific item for a specified price
• Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad
• For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each)
• Internet Pricing. See the Online Price Match Policy to find out what is honored in Walmart Stores

*The following are guidelines and limitations:

• We will match any local competitor’s advertised price.
• We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor’s ad, but we reserve the right to verify an ad at any time; we also require the store to verify the ad if there is a difference in price greater than 25% from the competitor.
• The system will prompt for supervisor verification at a 50% reduction in price or greater.
• Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.). No substitutions
• In all situations Walmart reserves the right to limit BOGO quantities to one per customer or household

We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads:

• Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price
  example: “Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C”
• Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product
  example: “Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free”
• Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card
  example: “Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card
• Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given
• Going out of business or closeout prices
• Percentage off
  example: “All mascara, 40% off”
• Competitors’ private label price promotions
• A specific price that omits a specific characteristic of an item (Example: $9.50 on “all sizes or quantities” of an assortment)

We do not honor:

• Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined
• Competitor pricing on One Hour Guarantee Items
• Misprinted ad prices of other retailers
• “Going out of business” sales or “closeout” prices
• Walmart reserves the right to verify an ad at any time, update or modify the terms of the Ad Match (Competition) Policy and its associated pricing strategies at any time”

I have highlighted the couple of things that we noticed they changed.

Enjoy!
