It says the items have to be Identical...and you HAVE to bring in the ad...and also the store has to be local...meaning within so many miles of the Walmart you are at.... Now...I have gone to my local Walmart and depending on the cashier...they will sometimes just let me tell them the pricematch location and cost. One cashier was nice enough to explain to me that they get into trouble if they allow too much pricematching...and it does effect the bonuses for the top dogs at each store...so i gathered that they can choose to decline pricematching and are actually encouraged to make it hard on you to use this unique feature they promote or entice you to shop there over other stores.   It is still worth the try...just gather your ads and be prepared to stand your ground...also it doesn't hurt to carry the current Walmart policy in your purse/wallet.    I have just truly began my journey on food storage so I still shop at the grocery stores, Sam's, Walmart, etc.  The one thing i do lately is break the cost down to the unit, ounce or whatever like walmart does...and if it's cheaper at Sam's i just go there...as i am trying to stock up...buying in bulk tends to be the way I go more often than not anymore. Just want to say thank you Julie & Jodie for all your exhaustive work on each topic...sure makes like a lot easier and keeps my mind from turning to mush as i learn all this! Blessings. that site sounds wonderful…can’t use it in my area…the other comment i wanted to make was about the new walmart policy…since the whole extreme couponing has become so popular…walmart has gotten a lot more strict.

These important papers and computer disks are in a closet by the front door ready to grab. We have a child assigned to "the green bag" by the door. We have copies in our safe deposit box and with our file cabinet as more of a last resort backup.  We actually have the originals in special waterproof bags (we go them at a camping store) in a small lightweight fireproof box.
