Sis. Allred has asked me to do a class in our ward, when she gets that all setup I will let everybody know.
Remember when price matching at Wal-Mart, be on the safe side and BRING YOUR ADS. Also, keep your recipts for a little while. Wal-Mart has a great return policy made easier with a receipt.
If you are buy plants, trees, shrubs, anything like that, if it dies within a year you can bring it in for a FULL refund or replacement with the recipet. Most nursery DO NOT do that. 2 years ago I bought $200 worth of bushes from Lindon nursery - all of them died so I returned them, I was only gived 1/2 credit because they "have no control over the environment or how well you take care of them". So I used the $100 to get more bushes, well those DIED. I promise I am not a bad gardner and I take good care of my plants. So I returned those bushes. Anyway, long story short I have 2 bushes with my $200!!! We have bought 10 roses bushes from Wal-Mart and kept the recipet for 1 year - not one of our plants dies and they were much cheaper.

Wal-Mart called me back
Well, I called Wal-Mart customer service this morning. They said that each Wal-Mart can say which ads they will price match, so the following information is for Lindon Wal-Mart ONLY. A manager from the Lindon Wal-Mart called me back this afternoon. I talked to Alicia, the front end manager; she was so nice and more than willing to answer all of my questions. Here is the information that she gave me.
Stores that they DO price match:
Albertson’s
Smith’s
Ream’s
Sunflower Market
Buy-Low
She isn’t sure why cashiers have been saying that they no longer price match Sunflower Market or Buy-Low, she was very apologetic and said she would make sure to correct that.
Stores that they DO NOT price match:
The local Hispanic markets
She said that she went and looked at those local markets and the quality was not as good as Wal-Mart’s.
You can only price match EXACT items.
You CAN price match meat, but it MUST be the same thing, not similar, but the exact same.
You CAN price match produce, but it MUST be the same thing, not similar, but the exact same.
You can price match brand name (same size, weight, etc.) for the exact same thing at Wal-Mart
You can price match store brand name to store brand name. (i.e. Albertson’s brand Butter for Wal-Mart brand butter)
If an ad says “While supplies last” that doesn’t matter – the price is still good as long as Wal-Mart still has the items (no substituting items)
Make sure the ad has not expired
Some ads have limits – you can still only get that limit. (i.e. 2 liter soda for $1 each, limit 4 – you can still only get 4)
Only manufactures coupons are accepted, NO printed coupons, NO double coupons, NO store only coupons (i.e. sometimes Albertson’s will have coupons in their ads that can only be used at Albertson’s, those CAN NOT be used at Wal-Mart).
NO price matching on gimmick promotions. (i.e. Albertson’s or Smith’s will have a sale if you spend $10 you will get $3 off so the final price of each product is $0.70, the $0.70 price will NOT be price matched)
NO price matching on percentage off (i.e. 50% off regular price), price match has to be a dollar amount
NO price matching on buy one get one
I hope this helps all of you and that you have learned a few new things (I know that I sure did). Please follow the rules that Wal-Mart has for price matching. Alicia said that if anybody has any trouble with the cashiers please talk to her about it (Alicia, front end manager). She also said, please be patient with the two new Wal-Mart stores opening in Saritoga Springs and Cedar Hill most of the experienced cashiers have gone over to those stores so most of the cashiers in Lindon are new. If you have a problem, please get the name of cashier so Alicia can correct the cashier. If anybody has any other questions please ask or ask Alicia at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart Policies
I called Wal-Mart customr service to get more of a clarification on their policies for price matching and couponing. They said that is done on a store basis. So they took all of my information and complaints that all of you have told me, they said someone from the Lindon store would call me. I have not yet recieved a call yet, but I just talked to customer service about 15 minutes ago - let's see how long it takes Lidon WM to call!! Are there any other questions or concerns about Wal-Mart you want me to ask the person that calls me back??
