price match

i know i just wrote recently about how much i love our local walmart.  this is the first place we've lived that i've actually preferred shopping at walmart over shopping anywhere else.  it's a happy place for me.  and i know when i wrote last time, i mentioned how it's just not worth it for me time wise to go to four different stores so i can get the lowest price possible on all the different items i want to buy.  it's easier just to go to one place... even if it means i'm paying a dollar more for that cream cheese.  well... i'm kind of an idiot because i've been lazy and out of it and haven't been using walmart's price match guarantee.  last night i price matched for the first time in a long time and holy cow i saved so much money and it felt great.  and right now i'm eating the most delicious $.77/lb red grapes that literally could not be any crunchier.

sooo, even though i'm sure a lot of people are opposed to shopping at walmart and others already are familiar with this whole price match thing, i just wanted to go ahead and throw that out there just in case it might help someone.  like when i discovered that not everyone knew about amazon mom.  does anyone else use price matching at walmart?!

lydia! not a lot of work at all! you don't even need to bring in the ad! what i did was just wrote the price next to the item on my shopping list if i knew it would be cheaper. like avocados are normally a dollar each and my sprouts ad said they were 77 cents each. so i just wrote a little 77 next to "avocados" on my shopping list and knew to tell that to the cashier when i was checking out! try it! i saved 80 cents per gallon on milk this trip!

You make me happy. I wish our walmart were super awesome... it's kind of trashy. In fact, I hardly ever even go!
