Walmart is no longer price-matching in their stores.

Many of you already know this, but Walmart no longer price-matches local competitors in their stores.

Walmart.com updated their website last Friday to reflect their new policy. They are no longer price-matching local stores. You can still match a price to their own website while in store though.

To price match, they will verify the price on Walmart.com and ensure it is not a 3rd-party seller.  The item online must be in-stock as well and may be limited to one per person per day.  You can see more here at Walmart Price Match Policies.

Walmart DOES have the Saving Catcher that will match top local competitors when you input your receipt and give you back the difference on a gift card.  Just BEWARE that there are a ton of exclusions!  We don't buy a lot of canned or boxed foods, so this really hasn't done much for us.  Produce, meat, deli, seafood, office supplies, toys, appliances, housewares  ... all EXCLUDED.  The only items that are included according to their website are the following ... and there are even additional conditions that may apply:

Wow, when did JCPenney start price-matching?

I used to shop at JCPenney a lot, but I just don't get over to the mall that much anymore.  I still shop online occasionally though.  Anyway, when I was browsing the JCPenney website, I  noticed that they now price-match.  When did that start?

Even up to 14 days AFTER a purchase, you can bring in an ad and they will beat it by 5%!  Has anyone tried their price-matching?

Walmart adding 300 more stores that will not longer price-match!

I used to do a "price match guide" for my local area to price-match to Walmart.  The domain was due renewal and I bailed.  I knew Walmart the 500 stores that they stopped price-matching at was a test to see if it was financially a good move.  And so, they are expanding it to 800 stores now.  I guess I can't blame them as much bogus price-matching that I see going on in Facebook groups.  But if you think their "Savings Catcher" app is going to match everything ... you are mistaken.

If you are not familiar with Savings Catcher, it's app that you download on your phone and then scan in the receipt and the app finds the best prices in your local stores.

The app is great if you buy select items that aren't excluded.  In other words, so much is excluded that it really doesn't do much for your wallet.  It was a good app to begin with, but they added more exclusions after it's release.  Like:

Drug store prices are not included
Many of our local groceries are not included
Meat is not included 
Product is not included 
Shoes are not included
Seasonal items not included
Outdoor furniture not included
Toys not inlcuded
Office supplies not included
and so much more ...
