I have shopped Walmarts in Pompano Beach; Deerfield Beach; Boca Raton; Coconut Creek; Hypoluxo, Florida, in Louisiana, Nevada and probably even more of their stores than that, but these are the ones that quickly come to mind. I have shopped WalMart for many years -- not because I like the store (because I don't!), but because there are certain items I buy on an ongoing basis, and for these items their prices are the lowest.



When I have shopped for the items I usually buy in quantity, I have found their Neighborhood Market to be higher in price than the Supercenter.



The only thing I can say to those who have criticized me for my opinion, is that everyone, including me, will have to play the wait and see game regarding prices at the new store.



I will say without equivocation, that prices throughout Walmart, from one store to another, are not the same on many items. This is a fact.


I like any store that is cheaper than the other guy. Other than that I offer no opinion.

I think you replied to the wrong post, what has this to do about the Walmart parking lot?
In all due respect if you are inclined to look back at post #39 I was not addressing you.

Personal Best Regards:

Walmart's Price Matching Policy

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.

I think Walmart should give all posters here a 15% discount upon opening for giving them free advertising.

if you like spend your $$, if you don't go someplace else--at least the shell station will most likely be out of business, once the Murphy Oil pumps kick in

:agree:
The Walmart app has this Savings Catcher feature. It is easy to use - simply scan the QR code on your Walmart receipt. It saves us real money. We love it!

I don't know why more people don't use this as it is simple and almost always ends up with a credit of some amount, sometimes small sometimes large. I hope they continue it.

It will be hard to beat prime pantry. Alexia keeps my list, when I want it comes in two days, and I don't have to waste my time shopping, standing in line, loading in and out of my car. Saves a ton of time

How about milk, produce, deli salads, ice cream, perishables, etc? what does it cost to ship a week's worth of other grocery items, bottled water, soda, cat litter, dog food, etc. I'm not sure exactly how the Pantry works but I'm sure their are items you cannot have shipped and extra costs involved for bulky or heavy items.

Must not be familiar with prime this week I ordered two different kinds of Gatorade eight bottles each, 4 kinds of bottled juice, 20 pack of toilet paper, 10 pounds of cat food, box of cat litter, can goods, and 20 other items. Shipping is FREE. It's called pantry because that's the items that you can order right now, however since the purchase of Whole Foods Amazon will be shipping produce cold and frozen items delivering within hours or the same afternoon. Since Alexa tells me if there is something cheaper elsewhere she asks if I want to put that item on hold. So far my average savings is around $200 a month and I don't even have to stand in line. Our meat comes from a butcher and I grow veggies myself. Fruit is the only thing that I pick up and that usually at the farmers market. Saves a ton of time. It's great just open your door and there Is your order

Where do you buy eggs,milk, ice cream, butter, etc. it just seem easier to go to one store once a week be it Publix, Walmart, or any other.

Eggs come from farmers market, use very little dairy, but if we want ice cream I make it. Soon Amazon will deliver anything you buy in a store, frozen or fresh, same day and as many times as I want. I don't need a list, I just tell alexia what I want and she stores it until I tell her to ship.
Coupons are deducted from my order. My UPS guy does heavy lifting for me. There is special inserts so chips do not get crushed. I can order and send grocery items to my parents, dead of winter so they don't have to go out, and have sent items to our Disney hotel for our arrival.
I may go to a grocery once a month, if that. Once you try prime, you wonder why you wasted that much time, going to a store. Every grocery up north at our other home offers a click list to either have it ready When you drive up or deliver to your home.
High season in TV the grocery is crazy, and when I can save time and money it makes my day. The FREE ship with my prime includes anything from books to clothes, and free pick up on returns. It's been at least a year since I shopped at a brick and mortar mall.

That's a lot of work growing all of your vegetables, even potatoes??, making ice cream, going to the butcher, farmers market, and somewhere to buy dairy.. I'm sure a lot of people do that but I prefer one stop shopping at Publix or Walmart.
