Walmart has announced that they will be price-matching items throughout the Christmas season as part of their Christmas Price Guarantee. If you have already purchased an item and then find it a lower price, you will get the difference between the prices in the form of a Walmart gift card. What does this mean….if you buy something at Walmart on November 1st and then two weeks later find it advertised at another store for less, Walmart will match the price! You’ll just need to bring in the competitor’s ad & your original receipt to get your Walmart gift card for the price difference.
Here are the rules:
- Purchases must be made from November 1st through December 25th
- You must bring in the competitor ad AND your receipt to receive the Price Match Difference
- Black Friday and Internet Prices are excluded
- Items on Layaway are eligible
Even though Black Friday is not included in this price guarantee, Walmart is also a great place to head for Black Friday. They will price-match all competitor’s ads for Black Friday (just like they do at any time of year). After a few years of Black Friday shopping, I’ve found that Walmart is the place to be – yes, it’s busy but they have all the registers open & they move people thru very quickly (unlike Target & some of the other stores). The reason we know is because my husband or I would split up & I’d stay at Walmart & he’d head to Target or Best Buy & always get stuck in the long lines. So, now we know just to stick with Walmart & bring all our ads to price-match!
Here are some other shopping incentives that Walmart announced as well:
- Layaway available on purchases over $15
- FREE shipping on most Walmart.com products
- No interest on Wal-Mart credit card purchases if they are paid for within six months
- 10% discount on each gallon of gas bought at participating Wal-Mart stations
