Price Match at Walmart

One of the best parts about shopping at Walmart is their Ad Match Guarantee.   This policy allows you to match the price of any item they carry in the store with a local competitor’s advertised sale price.  In other words, Walmart will give you any product for the same price as another local store is selling the item for, as long as they are identical products and follow these guidelines:

We’re committed to providing low prices every day. On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we’ll match it. Right at the register.

We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:*

• Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price
• Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO)
• Competitors' ads that feature a specific item for a specified price.
• Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad.
• For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each)
