10 Stores that Offer Price Matching

With such a crappy economy, I think it's important to remember that we have options - ways to save money. For example, my husband and I are able to stick to a grocery budget of $200-$250 for two weeks by buying most of our items at Sam's Club (meats, produce, frozen fruit, milk, eggs, etc...) and the remainder at Save-a-lot. I know a lot of people think warehouse stores are a waste of money and time, but if you have the space to store the items and you shop by unit price, they can be an excellent place to pick up some of your items.

One thing I do not take advantage of (and I should) is price-matching. I don't know - I've always just felt weird going up to the counter and saying "ACME Discount Store has this item for $1 less. Can you make it be that price?" I guess I should give in - price match and demand the lower price. It would eliminate going to a couple of stores if I do it smartly. I'll think about it. . . but I digress. The whole point of this soliloquy is that thanks to SavvySugar.com, there is a recent list of 10 stores that offer price matching and price adjusting. Read, take notes, save... and convince me that price matching is worth my time! :)

Which way?



Taken on a road about ten minutes from my house, in the edge of Allen County, Kentucky, near the Tennessee line.

Too long

Wow. It's been a while - too long. I kind of lost track of my Blogger when we were without internet because it was too hard to blog by cell phone. We've had it back for a while, but I always forget to post updates. I started this blog as a way to share things I've found online - and maybe some original tidbits of my own, but I never got around to doing much with it. I tend to post more on Plurk than I post here. Today's resolution, only to be broken another day - to post more on my Blogger!

Good night all.
