Lots of things have been going on lately with Walmart. Walmart is always working on being the low price leader and they are working on some new things that could affect you.
Starting as early as June 9th, in a small select market (500 stores) Walmart will start special long-term rollbacks on thousands of products throughout those stores like paper products and food. These rollbacks are going to be even lower than the other Walmart’s prices and because of this, those Walmart will no longer be able to ad or online price match at the checkout register.
You will still be able to price match Walmart.com at these 500 stores.
This is not going to be a bad thing. Walmart understands how important saving money is to us and they want to remain that low price leader. The reason they are phasing out price matching in these particular Walmarts is because they plan to drop the prices so low that we will have no need for price matching there.
NOTE: Right now this will only affect the 500 stores with long-term rollbacks.
If your Walmart is one of the chosen ones, you will start to see signs at the registers to notify you. Keep your eyes out for the blue signs at the check stands. We don’t know which stores are going to be part of the 500 but I can tell you that Texas Walmarts will not be a part of these changes.
These changes will not effect:
- Walmart.com prices or Walmart.com’s online price match policy
- Savings Catcher
Paul is working directly with Walmart on getting some sneak peaks of the upcoming prices. Keep checking out Iheartthemart.com for any future updates.
