Hey Shane! The only place we know that price matches is Wal-Mart. If you find a good deal on an item in the newspaper ads, you can take that ad to Wal-Mart and they will give you the cheaper price. We do this with Buy Low Market's ads that come in the mail. They have very inexpensive fruits and veggies, but the quality of the fruit isn't as good as Wal-Marts. So we take the ad to the store, then when we are checking out we tell our cashier that we have some items to price match. We give her the price from the ad of the other store and she will change Wal-Marts price to match that of the other store. So for example, if Wal-marts oranges are 2 pounds for $1 and Buy Low has them 5 pounds for $1, they will change their price to match that of Buy Low's. I'm pretty sure you can do this for any item. That make sense? If not let me or Dustin know and we can explain it over the phone or in person. Hope it helps!

Allison – I think price matching is even better than coupons, especially when you have a Buy-Low market so close and you get the ads every week. If you buy up on bulk/case lot sales, and focus on price matching, always shopping in the same store to know what prices are more or less, you could be ok.

Hey Allison! Thanks for that advice! We do try to clip coupons, but should try to do it more often…I should have added that in my post!
