Soda Prices have been high lately, so you may want to stock up this week!! Here are the best Soda deals in Omaha beginning TOMORROW, Wednesday 11/16. You can pricematch these!!

• Coke Product 12 packs 4/$11 ($2.75 each) (HV & NFF)
• 7UP and Dr Pepper Product 12 packs 3/$6.75 (with purchase of 3-that is only $2.25 each!!!! Best price in a LONG time!) (NFF)
• Coke, Pepsi, 7Up 12 packs $2.75 each when you buy 4 (B)

Note the key for the stores to match: Hyvee (HV), Bag N Save (BnS), No Frills Fresh (NFF), Baker's (B), Aldi's (A), Super Saver (SS), Fareway (F), Walmart (W).

I have been asked about the Price matching at Walmart. I have mentioned quite a few times how much I LOVE to price match there as they make it easy and convenient. I will tell you my experiences price matching there and how I do it, but I want to let you know first that you can read Walmart's official Price matching policy on their website here.

Now, it says on there that "Store managers make the final decision in always taking care of our customers, but we do have guidelines for matching our competition". So, there is some discrepancy from store to store with how they price match or what they will match. Here in Omaha, I have never had a problem price matching.

Basically they will match any advertised price from a competitor on a like item. If the item is a generic/store brand, my Walmart will price match that with their generic/store brand of same items (same size and product). When I go shopping, I generally just make a list of what I am getting and what the price match is. So, my list will look something like this (I am making up the deals though-these are not actual sales going on):

Milk: gallon $1.77 @Hyvee
Bread: Sara Lee $.99 @Bag N Save
Crayola Crayons: 24 pack $.19 @ Hyvee
Coke 24 packs: $5.48 @Super Saver

Then I go to the store with my list and get it all and head to the checkout. I ALWAYS let the checker know before he/she starts putting items through that I have a lot of price matches and coupons. As they scan, I just watch my list and give them the matching price on the item before they scan it. It is pretty easy in my store.

However, I have heard stories of people having trouble price matching, so I always have the ads in my bag with me in case they question a price match, I have only had that happen 2 times ever, and all I had to do was show them the ad and the manager had to come over and approve it (the reason this happened both times was because the price difference was so great between the Walmart price and the price match that it flagged in the system.) Since the price match is kind up up to the store manager in the end, it is nice to be able to have the ad there if there is a problem. I would also just as a precaution, print a Walmart price match policy out and bring it with you to show them if necessary.

I have not had any major problems price matching at Walmart just make sure you have the SAME item to match, make a list of your items/price matches to refer to as you check out and shop, and bring in the ads and price match policy in case you do have an issue that needs to be resolved.

I hope this little guide to Walmart price matching was helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions about it by leaving a comment on this post or emailing me at beckeesdeals@gmail.com

I want to note something really exciting! My mom saw a sign that the new Hyvee at Stony Brook now says they will price match the other weekly ads, and I noticed the new Elkhorn No Frills Fresh will as well!! I have not yet tried either of these, but how awesome!! I love price matching!!!

A couple deal tips...First, I hope you all know by now that Walmart and Target price match competitors advertised prices (you should review their coupon matching policies if you are worried about matching). I have not ever price matched at Target yet, but I price match at Walmart ALL THE TIME!! Usually you can just tell the checker the price match price, but I still bring the other ads along just in case you need to prove your price match (it has only happened to me 2 times that I had to whip out an ad and prove the price match.) So, every week I go through all the ads in my mail and in my newspaper and make up a master list of the best prices on the things I need, then I head over to Walmart and price match my weekly shopping. You CAN price match and still use coupons.

I should also note that each Sunday I clip all the coupons which I have organized by expiration date in my coupon bag. I have a master list of all the coupons so I can easily look up coupons on there and I just keep those coupons and the master list in my purse in case I need anything. I recommend you clip coupons and find a way to organize them that works for you!

So, that being said, here is a deal I did just the other day, that you can do too (if you have the coupons):

If you clip coupons and keep them around, somewhere in your coupons you should have a $2 off coupon for ALL detergent (it was in the newspaper on 1/3).

Big Lots has ALL 2X 50 oz. and ALL 3X 32 oz. laundry detergent advertised 2/$5 through 1/23. Take the ad to either Walmart or Target and price match, then use the $2 coupon and you end up getting the laundry detergent for only 50 cents each
