From the link:

"So if you find a lower price from an online retailer on an identical, in-stock product, or the item purchased from Walmart.com is now listed at a lower price, tell us and we'll match it*."

I think it would be difficult to price match the on shelf price of an item that isn't advertised. That info just isn't readily available.

Also from a consumer's point of view price matching isn't all that practical except for expensive items because of the time you have to spend to get a price matched.

We signed up for the Walmart Savings Catcher. You type in your receipt number and if there are any advertised lower prices they give you the difference in the form of a gift card. If their price is lower at a super store they will credit the difference, you don't have to look it up yourself, just trust that they will do it honestly. We have received hundreds of dollars back by using the savings catcher. If you are not familiar with it, do a search and you can read all about it.
