Each Friday, I try to post something helpful to wives or other women out there. While the topics vary, I’m very excited to share one of the best hidden secrets I have found since we have been married. A few years ago Walmart announced they would price match, meaning if another store had it on sale for cheaper you could bring the price and where it was on sale and they would give you that sale price. I always knew they did it but I didn’t get into it until recently. I came upon this website by accident, I think I was actually search for how to coupon. I always am amazed by TLC’s Extreme Couponing, those women walk away with $1,000 in groceries and pay maybe $3.00? I still will never understand that or how they have the time to clip coupons. I love using this site because I can make my grocery list, then go through PriceMatcherz to see what is on sale that we actually need. That way we aren’t just buy things just because they are on sale.
This site goes through all of the local ads and in my hometown they match anything within 45 minutes of the local Walmart. All I have to do it look at the website and take my list with the prices into the store. While some of the prices matches I’m only saving .30 cents, I have saved up to $2.00 on some items. The site also identifies if it’s a great deal, meaning stock up now! Let me give you an example of how this has helped us. Mr. W is a blueberry addict so whenever blueberries are on sale we stock up so we can freeze and eat them throughout the summer. Last week they had a pint of blueberries for $1.50 and we bought 6 pints. Normally, a four pint bag of blueberries sell for $10.00, so by doing this we were able to save $4.00. While you may not think a few cents here and a few dollars there will add up to much to be significant, I was able to cut off $25 every week just by price matching. The best part? It takes me maybe five extra minutes a week to look at PriceMatcherz because they have already done all the hard work for me.
Happy Price Matching!!
