I still haven't had a chance to look at my sale papers  but wanted to start this off for those who were interested... Today I price matched lots of the Ultra deals... the Welch's jelly (4 of them) , Hormel wraps (4), Nestle's Pure Life Splash (6), Bic razors (6) and Barilla entrees (6). My total was about $2.25 before tax  My HUGE Orland Park WM has a teeny tiny space for Planters PB... enough to fit maybe 10 jars  ... there were none out, none in back and none on order  |

Just realized I was overcharged $2 for an extra Barilla entree , so my total is really about 25c before tax Luckily, I plan to visit again tomorrow  ... hopefully they'll fix it for me |

I dont have too many problems at the CChills store The CC Hills store is one of the 10 WM stores that I service. I hate to say that I had preconcieved notions about the store. I will admit, it is one of the best stores that I go to. Orland is a total dump and so is New Lenox. The Evergreen Park store has their employees wear shirts that say "We Price Match. Ask Me How" They even have other stores ads hanging up when you walk in the store. |

Wait, no one else is infuriated in CCHills? Glenwood & Matteson infuriate me, too. I would *like* to try this price match thing, but I am a little scared.

I have seen ladies walking around WalMarts with multiple ads from grocery stores price matching. I briefly asked a lady in either Orland or New Lenox (can't remember which, they are both laid out the same)about her success and she said she does it all the time.
Personally I would have my ducks in a row if you are going to do multiple ads. Otherwise it might take forever to check out.

i had MAJOR issues back in 2011 ( i remember cause i was pregnant with ds1) but it wasn't with ad matching it was with coupon overage. I eventually won, but not with out checking out for about 45 minutes and finally talking to some higher up in a shirt and tie who decided i was right.
Matteson is pretty much a joke, they will pricematch reluctantly and will probably have to call CS over, but are usually out of everything. I usually avoid cchills because the tax is so high (think 10.25%? )
I did pm in orland the other day with no issues.
Kankakee walmart is by far the cleanest, friendliest walmart i have ever been too. They price match with no issues, have the ads hanging on a display right when you walk in and also have a 'coupon swap' bin by the door where you can put coupons you don't want or take coupons from. Lots of vendor coupons in there~

I'm getting better and braver about checking out with more ads  I fold them all open to the page i need and circle the item so i can see it quickly... it's pretty easy to grab the right one for whatever is coming up next on the conveyor belt . Here are some things I found that i might be interested in price matching this week... I realize they might not all work... like the Centrella butter, etc Brookhaven (Mokena) green onions 3/$1 portabello mushrooms $1.99/lb Shop and Save (Bridgeview)
whole seedless watermelon $1.99 Freshline (Oak Lawn)
Centrella butter 1.79 twin french bread .99 Pete's Fresh Market (various) chicken leg quarters .49 |

I had major issues with overage in the beginning at CChills--But I was trying to use $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ catalinas
They never even ask to see my ads at walmart
I can imagine at the Evergreen park store they would be so enthusiastic considering a nice new meijer just opened..

For the few times I have done price matching I always bring the ad. I think they are pushing it more since they have lost a lot of customers. Yeah your prices are way TOO HIGH that is why plus the store is just yuck.

a couple of days ago, I printed the picture of the Purell and price tags from the Dominick's thread and brought that to PM at WM... she gave it to me, but said that I should bring the ad next time...
I said I realize your policy says I don't need the ad at all, but HOW do you guys know if someone is making up a price? She said they have all the ads up at the CS desk so if someone tells her a price she doesn't believe, they look it up
The only trouble i've EVER had pm'ing there is certain size produce, like if the ad says "small" avocados and theirs aren't AND they were in a bag, i think
otherwise, it's been a breeze

I really like PM'ing at Wal-Mart. Saves me time and gas. I shop the Wal-Mart in Streamwood and shortly after I started to PM, the CS manager came to help the new cashier do it. She told me to make a list with the name of each store and the item and price I want to match. So that's what I do, today I PM'ed a couple of items from 4-5 stores, had my list and just read the cashier the price of each item as she picked it up to scan it. I was told there we must have the ad with us and I just bring them, but rarely do they ask me to show them.
I pretty much PM'ed what you did except for .50 celery - Caputo's, Sure Deoderant - Food 4 Less, Raspberries - Tony's.

I have had coupon issues there in the past so I tend to avoid that store. |
