Walmart has been modifying its coupon and price-matching policies in recent weeks. If you shop at Walmart, you may want to take a few minutes to review these policies. Go HERE to read Walmart's price-matching policy and HERE to read the retailer's coupon policy.
For the most part, the changes Walmart is making are beneficial. My favorite change is that Walmart is now price-matching buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads that have a specified price. (Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free). Walmart, however, will not honor buy one get one free ads that have no price listed.
If you plan on price-matching or using coupons at Walmart, I would consider bringing copies of either or both policies with you when you shop. I think many cashiers are just as confused about all these changes as the shoppers are.
