Price Matching at Wal-Mart

As you may have guessed, shopping with four kids can be somewhat of a logistical nightmare, especially when two of them are six-month old twins.  It's hard enough trying to plan shopping between feedings and diaper changes and naps with one baby, but when you factor two into the equation, well, it's more challenging.  Usually about the time, I have the girls ready with their crocs on, having gone potty and washed their hands, sippys in hand, then one of the boys has a blow-out.  I change him from head to toe.  Then, I go ahead and check brother because they usually do everything together!  Twin B is now changed from head to toe, too.  Once everyone is in their seats, inevitably someone has left their drink or baby or book inside, so I run in to get that one thing that we absolutely cannot go to the store without.  Then, one of the boys spits up, so I clean him up.  Just as I'm turning the keys in the ignition, I realize that I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I look at my watch and calculate how much time I have left.  Not enough!  At the store, all my best friends want to know how old my twins are and whether twins run in my family and if they're fraternal or identical and on and on.  Suffice it to say, these days my shopping trips are on Saturdays when my husband is available to watch some or all of the kiddos.  But, I still have to be speedy!  My latest strategy for multiplying my time is price-matching at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart will price match competitors advertised prices even without an ad!  WOW!  Before, I thought this would be too much of a hassle, but in this season of life, one-stop shopping is a bit of a necessity!  I decided to try it out last Saturday.  To be honest, I am not a fan of Wal-Mart.  I seriously try to avoid the place like the plague, but I had a Site-to-Store order to pick up, so I decided just to pick my groceries up there, too.  It was so incredibly simple and easy.  I had seen that Save-a-Lot had grapes advertised at 99 cents per pound, so I just told the cashier that I wanted to price match them to Save-a-Lot's price.  I didn't even need to show her the ad!  She just adjusted the price right then and there!  Check out Wal-Mart's price match policy here and try it out on your next purchase!  I am delighted to know that if I'm going to Wal-Mart I can still get the best prices advertised elsewhere without having to go to multiple stores!
