This idea was sent in by reader Brooke. She’s come up with a way to make sure the cashiers know she’s price matching and she avoids having to put items on the belt in a certain order or watch every item go through the checkout. And if you want to make sure you know how to price match, check out the I Heart the Mart Radio Show on Price Matching at Walmart.
I use mini Post-It notes for my price matching trips. I take them with me to the store and have my price matching list ready to go. As I find the items I’m price matching, I write the store name and the price match price on a sticky note.
Then I stick it over the barcode on the product and put it in my cart.
When I get to the checkout, I just let the cashier know that I’m price matching and that I’ve put the store name and price over the barcode. The cashier simply takes the sticky note off, scans and makes the price adjustment as each item goes through. At the end of the transaction I hand over my matching coupons and pay.
