          Walmart is really making efforts for your business this holiday season and they have just released details on a new Christmas Price Match Guarantee.

          “If a customer buys an eligible product at Walmart anytime between Nov. 1 and Dec. 25, and then finds that same product advertised for less at another store, Walmart will give the customer a gift card for the difference through Dec. 25”

          There are a few key things to keep in mind if you plan to use the guarantee:

          • Must be identical items (brand, size, color quantity, grade & model #)
          • Competitor must be in same local market
          • You must have your original receipt and local competitor’s current ad
          • There are other exclusions like Black Friday Ads, internet pricing and limited time offers.

          Be sure to read all the fine print in the official annoucement here for all the details.

          I do most of my holiday shopping online, so I’m not sure I’ll take advantage of this.  Do you think it will help make your holiday shopping easier?

              Find out if buying in bulk at Sams Club, Costco and other warehouse stores really saves you money.  Couponing may be the way to go.

              I get asked a lot: “What about warehouse clubs?” I fight the urge to answer back with a quick “you aren’t saving anything”.  Personally I haven’t found much that makes the cost of a membership worth it.  The biggest reason being that you can’t use coupons at most warehouse clubs (BJ’s being the one exception).

              To learn about the best way to use coupons go here.

              In an effort to put numbers behind my personal feelings, I went recently to my local warehouse club and got the price of 30 items from all over the store.  In case you are wondering, I compared prices for the same product and brand in each category.

              Here are the prices broken down by price per size.

              A few things that stand out to me:

              • I remember at one point getting a membership just for paper goods, thinking that I had to be saving money getting a 40 roll paper towel pack.  The cost difference on paper goods was the most striking though!  Using store sales and coupons (normally in the drugstores) we are saving a ton over the “bulk price”!
              • The second reason folks get memberships… diapers.  Yep, not saving there either.
              • Dairy was the one department that did show savings.  I don’t know if you can eat enough butter and cheese to make it worth the savings and extra trip, but their prices were lower than the grocery stores.

              I know for some of you looking at the price per ounce, you are thinking “that’s only 5¢ more and I don’t have to use coupons”.  Remember that’s 5¢ per ounce and really in the end will make the product twice the cost over using a coupon and catching the sale in the grocery store.

              Okay all this said, there are some that love to buy in bulk versus watching sales and clipping coupons.  You are saving money over the full retail price in a grocery store, so I’m not trying to rock your boat.  I want you to see how much you could save though if you put a little time into figuring out the whole coupon “thing”.
