Walmart Stops Price Matching

 

Change is bound to happen – but in the couponing world, this one’s a doozy!  In case you haven’t heard, Walmart stops price matching competitors in 500 stores starting June 9th.

At those select stores – Walmart plans to rollout *exclusive* super-low rollbacks on traditionally price-matched items like food and paper products.

For the rest of the stores – you can continue price matching for the time being.  How do you know if you’re one of the stores where Walmart stops price matching on June 9th?

Look for a little blue sign by your register – that advises customers of upcoming changes.
