Matching Policies and Courtesies
Several stores "Price
Match" which is a great way for teh store to match
competitor's prices and for you to save a lot of money! Many
stores, such as Harmon's, mark the prices on the shelves to
match the competitor's prices. Other stores, such as
WalMart, leave it up to the shopper to do the price
matching. This is the motivation behind the Price
Matching Labels.
WalMart
does not match % off, 2 for 1, or B1G1F promotions.
Converting
Prices from "Each" to "Pound"
You may find an item
on sale at one store for $0.49 lb and the same item on sale
for $0.33 each. To save time at the checkout you will want to
calculate the price to match the method being used by the
store you are in. So let's say oranges are on sale for 33
cents each at WalMart. At Albertsons they are on sale for 49
cents per pound. You will want to weigh the oranges, calculate
the total price for the oranges and then divide the total by
the number of oranges.
8 oranges weigh 4 lbs
4 lb X 49 cents =
$1.96
$1.96 / 8 oranges =
$0.245 each (pay $0.25 ea)
You will now want to
write $0.25 ea on the Price Matching Label.
As you shop at WalMart
you will want to put the Price Matching Label on the item at
the time you place it in the cart. When you get ready to check
out it is very helpful to place like items together as you
place them on the belt. This will assist the checker in
adjusting prices and keeping things
moving. |
