I Heart The Mart has some really good information on price matching at Walmart!
“Walmart is kicking off three days of savings, typically reserved only for the Friday After Thanksgiving, on this seasons’ must-have holiday gifts, including the strongest “price match” guarantee in the market. In fact, Walmart is one of the only retailers that will price match competitors’ ads on “Black Friday.” Customers simply bring in competitors’ ads and Walmart will match the price of any identical product right at the register, making Walmart the easiest place to save this holiday season.”
I successfully price matched many items last year on black Friday at Walmart. Honestly, I think it is really the best way to go.
- Make sure on Thursday to spend sometime going through all the ads.
- Make a list of what you want first, then find that item at each store that offers it and find the store that has it for the lowest price.
- Have a master list of items and prices.
- Place all of the ads and your list in a folder.
- Take it to Walmart at midnight and start shopping.
- Price match all your highlighted items when you get to the register.
- Save a bunch of money!
You have to tell them when you are checking out, WHEN THEY GET TO THE ITEM that you are price matching it. If they get to the next item and scan it and you have not told them you are price matching the previous item you lost your chance…. at this point, just return the item and have them re-ring it up and tell them you want to price match it.

Pay close attention to the Toys R Us ad and the Target ad. To me, those have some of the best deals. It is better to get everything in one spot then have to run all over the city!

last year i did this– but one tip is that if the item says buy one get one free then they won’t price match it. At least thats what they did last year…maybe this year its different they will but watch out for that.
Will they also match other stores early bird/door buster prices? If so will that start at midnight also.
Kim and everyone- I should have made sure to say ALL the same price matching rules apply as normal! It is a rumor that YES they will be doing door busters as well, just at the same time as the other stores.
