I have recently started price matching at Wal-mart for produce. I love love love fresh veggies and fruit, but am very picky about the produce I eat. I was talking to one of my fellow couponers and she told me that she price matches her produce from the Hispanic store ads. I thought I would give it a try and I love it! There are so many good deals on produce. Some of the items I picked up this week were:
6 lbs of oranges for .97
4 lbs of roma tomatoes for .99
3 iceberg lettuce for .99
cucumbers for .50
10 lbs of watermelon for .99
Right now I am going through the best part of pregnancy (morning sickness, which is not only in the morning but all day and night) and the idea of eating anything is absolutely revolting. Especially if I have to open my mouth too wide to eat it. So I have been eating a lot of finger foods and produce hits the spot perfectly for me, so it is nice that I can have a ton of produce for a little amount of money every week.
Some tips on price matching:
Learn the stores policy before attempting this. Often it is found on the stores website. Currently at the Wal-mart next to my house they have a display of all of the ads in circulation and they will cross out any items that they will not price match.
Wal-mart will not allow you to price match and use a coupon for the same item, so I still go to Smith's and Albertson's to hit their promotions or pick up any item that is on sale with a coupon. I mainly just price match produce, meat and dairy.
You don't have to have 6lbs of oranges to get the rate - the store will figure out what it is per lb and then weigh and charge you accordingly. One time I got 3 jalapenos to make pico de gallo for .01
I make a list of all items I am buying and how much the item is and what store ad I found that price in and I bring all ads in the store with me. I have never had to show the person the ad, but I still bring it just in case someone asks I am prepared.
I put all items I am price matching at the end of the belt and tell the cashier immediately that I will be price matching, these seems to be the least stressful way of doing this so I am not holding up the line at all.
