Default Re: Find Stores That Match Prices To Save Money

yep walmart is all that will too, but if ill go shopping in arkansas, so will kroger. the thing with walmart tho is to be prepared! if you dont want to wait another half hour cause of each thing you buy that needs to be repriced, take the flyers with you and have that page ready to show the product at the other stores. another thing you have to watch for is one store here, if its not cash i wont buy there! i bought one of those prepaid cards to see how i would do with a cc. i went and thier machine was down, so you fill out a slip. they double billed it!!! this happened twice and will not ever happen again. cash dont get broke down, one thing to remember. thats a big headache u know? i mean i pay a western union fee to load the card and then try to get the money back when they do that stuff and going thru the prove it thing. they billed it when it was up and then again next day. when it was 55+ dollars each time, i will not shop there now but for loss leaders and pay cash! the thing i love about wallace n owens shopping alone. you leave cart at the register, so i can watch as they ring it all up. they take it from cart, ring it up belt it to other end and bagger bags and even offers to take it to your car for u. i never accept, but its gr8 that someone still does this! i figure im capable and there may be someone in one of the lines whos not, i always unless its downpouring return the cart to the cart rack too. at aldis u have to too or it costs you a quarter.lol which the kids love going there cause they return the cart after helping me load it and get to link up the cart which is special to them and pull that quarter out and keep it for helping. i only take them shopping there and each time i go i only take one of them with me and then the other the next week. we also have boys day or girls day out. one a month, 20 bucks they buy thier own stuff! we spend the day out, have an ice cream, window shopping, haircut if needed, which i pay for and then necessities or mj leather for jewelry and stuff for girls,. and the consigment shops too. all afternoon, moms undivided attention. the boys and i went to a clearance day at freds. i filled my van with stuff for them for 40 dollars. stuff normally 5-10 was 1-4. one dollar videos were only 50 cents also. nathaniel picked out a leather baseball cap on clearance for 4 dollars. all these stores have locators on them too, i suggest typing in store names getting thier page up and seeing where closest one is too you, put in the farthest mile amount, so you get a good aray of whats on each side. you may find a freds, dollar tree and payless all on one side of ya and plan a day.
