Walmart PAID me $.09 to shop!

So, when it comes to anything couponing, Walmart is usually out of the question. But I heard about price-matching being done there (I had knowledge of it, but honestly...to me, it wasn't worth the battle with the cashiers to even bother TRYING).

I know of their policy & how it works, so I decided to give it a shot over the weekend & had a pretty epic & EASY price matching experience. I was so impressed that I decided to try it again yesterday, it was the COMPLETE opposite effect of this weekends experience. The cashier told me I had to have the store ad with me in order to get it at that price & asked me how he'd know if I was telling the truth without seeing it. I informed him that their policy states that I don't HAVE to bring in a policy with me. Upon informing them that I was price matching against Rose's store ad for the Case-It $5 binders, they advised me that they don't consider Roses a competitor & cannot/will not price match their ad, so I had that removed. I also attempted to price match a couple school supply ads & they harped on the same thing about wanting the ad, so I took all of it off.

I did however end up getting 1 Reach Floss @ $.97 & 2 Eco-Tool mini body sponges  $.87ea. all 3 had $1/1 mc ip's with them, my subtotal was -$.29, $.20 was tax, so they paid me $.09. the cashier was in a state of confusion as to why HE paid ME but didn't question it after the supervisor told him to pay me.

I don't know that I'll be doing any more price matching & will be prepared to school their on their own policy if it gets down to it & if I bother going there again to do so.
