We are in California for my sisters wedding this weekend. I wanted to run into Walmart quick this morning and see what the prices are like and grab a few things while I had the coupons. I was in charge of lunch today and breakfast in the morning. We are having turkey and cheese sandwiches (Sara Lee and Sargento) and breakfast burritos (TortillaLand and Jimmy Dean).
I had some help shopping so ignore the GoGo Squeezes, I didn’t have coupons but my helper has me wrapped around her finger.

I felt like the grocery prices we about the same, just possibly a little higher then in TX. This is the thing… IF YOU ARE NOT PRICE MATCHING in CA, you are WASTING a tremendous amount of MONEY! They have EVERY store possible to price match to. I can’t believe the stores they have! There were 11 different grocery stores within 5 miles. They have all 3 drug stores. Plus, Trader Joes and a bunch of hispanic grocery stores with AWESOME produce and meat prices. If you live in southern California you need to be price matching at Walmart!
Not so in Perris, ca….plus the sales tax is killer in ca! My town i can price match to cvs, wallgreens, food 4 less, stater bros and target…the only store not in perris is target!
amanda how far it the nearest target, you can price match any where between 30-50 miles.
WOW! Wal-Mart really does have everything. I didn’t know you could buy a real live child in Wal-Mart. How much did she cost? CUTE!
Thanks for all you do for my family AND we have been able to help out several other families.
you’re absolutely right, we may not have double coupons down here but we have so many stores we can price match!! We get all the grocery store ads including the mexican stores! I live in Chula Vista, which is in San Diego county!!
on another note, my friend price matched the All detergent from a “kroger” store and the Walmart cashier only let her do 4 of them, she had 10 in her cart, is that correct?
I live in SoCal my Walmart won’t allow price matching and coupons it’s either one or the other. Is that the norm? It sounds like in other areas you can do both price match and coupon on any particular item…
No that is not the norm. If you call corporate they will tell you that you are able to do both. I would call and ask them to talk to the manager of your store.
Thanks I will follow up with your advise!!
I love Price Matching at Walmart in Temecula, Ca. I even look in people’s carts and tell them if they have a price matching product. However, you can only Price Match with stores that are near you.
Also, since I do so much price matching, I got harassed by the CSM on duty and they make the cashier look up every item in all of the ads which I am always right on but after 30 minutes of this, I got upset with them and they stopped and said well just this one time we will take your word for it. I see the same commercials that state you don’t have to have the sales ads. I shop there so I don’t have to go to 6 stores. I will continue to price match at Walmart since I save so much money and hopefully I won’t have to go through the Price Matching Prove It Mentality any longer.
I absolutely LOVE my Walmart.I’m not in California, but my Walmart is awesome with price matching and coupons. I go later in the evening, and I pick a younger cashier. I have never had to even tell them what store I’m matching just the price to match it to.
for all the so ca people around corona the wal-mart store on ontario street is awesome on price matching, coupons, and there is no limit. just only buy what the coupon or ad states and you will have no problem also more than half of the cashier are all heads up on the price matching you can even price match meats and produce from all the stores. the meats are wonderful too
She is so adorable!
