Walmart Announces the End of Ad Matching in MORE Stores By the End of October!

October 15, 2016 by Aarn Farmer 3 Comments

Over the last few weeks, reports have been flooding in from you loyal readers telling me that Walmart is ending Ad Matching by the end of October. There were enough of you that I knew it couldn’t be a coincidence so I called up my old friend’s at the Walmart Media Relations team and got a hold of Charles Crowson for the scoop on what is going on. Here’s what he said.

First of all, Walmart is NOT ending ad matching at all stores, just like when Walmart ended ad matching at first 500, then 800 total stores as reported here, this will be another limited block of stores. There was no confirmation on the number of stores affected but they did promise to get back to me with that number next week so I’ll let you know that as soon as I do.

While Mr Crowson couldn’t tell me exactly what stores are affected, judging from the reports that are coming in it appears to be a large chunk of the Eastern US. It appears also that the associates also know what is going on so you can probably ask a CSM at your store to find out if your store is affected.

What does this mean for the future of Ad Matching at Walmart? Well if I was a betting man, I would put my money on it disappearing sometime in the next 6 months or so. Of course Walmart won’t confirm this but it sure seems like they are putting a ton of money and energy into these price dropping programs and I can’t see that just going away. If there is anything Walmart does well, it’s logistics so I can’t see them setting up all these new logistics for price slashing and then only implementing it in half their stores across the nation. No, this is just my opinion but I think we are standing at the end of an era so I guess we will just have to wait and see what the new era brings us.

It’s already getting close to the Holiday season and Walmart has just announced new info about their Holiday Layaway program and the 25 Hottest Toys of the season!

Layaway

Walmart’s layaway program begins Sept. 2 allowing customers to get a head start on holiday shopping.

Customers can find all of the top toys available to reserve through the layaway program, along with thousands of other items in Walmart stores.

There is no opening fee for customers to start a layaway account and they only need to put down 10% (or $10, whichever is greater). Walmart has kept its minimum threshold again this year. Customers can put items as low as $10 on layaway with a $50 minimum basket. Customers have until Dec. 12 to pay off their account.

What to Do When Your Walmart Stops Ad Matching!

August 5, 2016 by Aarn Farmer 3 Comments

With Walmart ending price matching, first at 500 stores, then at an additional 300 stores, it’s time we all prepared for the worst. I wasn’t worried when the initial 500 stores stopped but once they expanded the test to another 300, I think that means they like what they saw with the first 500 and wanted to expand it. There are all kinds of rumors flying around that Walmart will end price matching company wide by the end of the year but so far those are just rumors.

So perhaps you don’t have ad matching anymore or maybe you found this post in the future when price matching has ended company-wide and are looking for some pointers on what to do next. Hopefully you will find some helpful advice here.

It’s worth noting before we start that the reason Walmart is ending ad matching is to be able to focus on undercutting their competitors on price directly without having to use ad matching and from what I’ve seen so far, they are actually doing that. If they continue on this path, we may not end up missing as matching at all.

Don’t be Afraid to Shop Around

I’ll be honest, 90+% of my shopping will continue to be at Walmart but if the Kroger has a great deal on pork chops one week, I’m going there. I wouldn’t stop flipping through the ads every week and taking advantage of any loss-leaders at competing stores.

Keep Using Coupons

This probably goes without saying if you are a regular reader of this blog but those coupons are going to be even more important moving forward. Don’t stop getting your Sunday papers and printing those coupons.

Use Walmart Savings Catcher

It looks like even if price matching ends, the Savings Catcher program will continue. If you don’t know what it is, it is built into the Walmart app or you can access it through a browser here. All you do is once you check out at the register, you scan the QR code at the bottom of your receipt with the Walmart app and Savings Catcher will compare what you bought with the sales of the local competitors. If someone has something on sale for less than what you paid at Walmart, you get the difference back in a Walmart eGiftcard.

If this is really the end of ad matching, I know I’ll miss it but there will always be ways to find great deals and the Grocery Shop for FREE team will be here to share them with you!

Walmart Announces the End of Ad Matching in 800 Stores Nationwide!

August 2, 2016 by Aarn Farmer 27 Comments

8/2 UPDATE: As of this morning, Walmart is ending Ad Matching in another 300 stores nationwide for a total of 800. It would appear that the line of stores affected moved a few hundred miles west with most of the stores affected being East of the Mississippi but not all stores East of the Mississippi. More as this story develops.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the Walmart PR team and they gave me more information and put my mind a little more at ease about what’s happening. First of all, all the information in the article is correct but there are a few things that need to be added. One thing I don’t think I made clear is that the 500 stores without ad matching will be getting special Rollbacks that will drop the prices on thousands of items in those stores to even lower levels than what other stores will have so I think this will be a net positive for the stores losing ad matching but we will have to see how that shakes out. Also, these 500 stores will no longer price match online retailers like Amazon.com at the register but they will still match Walmart.com. You will still be able to price match an online retailer at Walmart.com so I guess some of us will have to figure out how to do that. And I wasn’t able to get a list of stores that were closing yet but I did confirm that no store in Texas will be affected. If I get that list, you will be able to check back in here to read it.

If your store is affected, you will start seeing the blue signs pictured below at the register. This is a terrible photo and as soon as I find a better one, I’ll replace it. This was taken by someone in our Facebook Walmart group.

2ND UPDATE: So far we have heard that either a large percentage or every store in Florida is losing the ad matching. If you live in Florida and your store is NOT losing ad matching, please let me know because as of right now, it seems like all 191 FL stores are losing it. We have also had a report that western New York state is losing ad matching as well. Another report has come in for Columbia SC so perhaps it’s the Eastern Seaboard?

3RD UPDATE: We are continuing to reports up and down the Eastern Seaboard (Like VA) that it is ending but I got my first non-Eastern Seaboard confirmation that it is ending in Casper, Wyoming. In fact when I talked to the management team at both stores there they were both under the impression that it was ending Nationwide. There are still no signs at my store in Texas so maybe that’s not true but I still want to hear if it is happening in your area. MINI UPDATE: Just got confirmation from the Walmart PR team that it is still only limited to 500 stores and no store in Texas is affected. 2ND MINI UPDATE: The Walmart PR Team just reached out to say that Wyoming is NOT on the list of affected stores. Sounds like someone got their wires crossed. 3RD MINI UPDATE: The Walmart PR Team reached out again. There was an internal email that was forwarded to all stores instead of just the 500 affected stores that said they were ending Ad Matching on the 9th. That miscommunication has been corrected. If your store does not have the blue signs pictured above, your store is not affected.

ORIGINAL POST

It looks like the day we have always feared is finally here. When Walmart launched Savings Catcher, the rumor was that this was the beginning of the end for ad matching but those rumors were consistently denied. Now it looks like it is becoming a reality.

2 days ago, Walmart had an earnings call where they announced they were going to start making huge investments in lowering prices. Then yesterday they dropped the bomb that if their prices were going to be so low then we probably didn’t need ad matching anymore so they were phasing it out in 500 stores nationwide. It’s worth noting that Walmart has about 5100 stores nationwide so this only affects about 10%.

Some shoppers are already reporting seeing signs go up in their stores that say that their Walmart will no longer be Ad Matching as of June 9th, 2016. On a side note, I have not seen this sign so if you have it in your store, please send me a pic. TIA.

So far, no list has been released of the affected stores but I’ve got a few emails out and as soon as I know anything on that front, I will let you know.

The good news is that you will still be able to use Savings Catcher so if there is a lower price somewhere, you will still be able to get that money back. Of course Savings Catcher doesn’t catch drug store prices, produce or bakery items and is pretty hit or miss when it comes to meat but at least it’s something. It also begs the question that if the Walmart price will always be lower, why do we need Savings Catcher? But I’m rocking that boat.

So for now, nothing is changing for 90% of you but for those unlucky 10%, I’m sorry this is happening to you. If you see the signs saying that ad matching is ending in your store, please let me know where that is so maybe we can begin to see some sort of pattern. Also send me pics of the signs through email at [email protected] or just tag @GSFFatTheMart on instagram and I’ll see it.

Walmart Announces the Return of Smiley!

June 1, 2016 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

Walmart announced today that Smiley will be back in Walmart ads and signage. I am sure this will coincide with Walmart’s renewed commitment to dropping prices they talked about in their earnings call a few week’s ago. I personally always liked to see that little smiley face and am glad to see him make a comeback!

Important (and Terrible) Changes to the Shopmium App You Need to Know About!

May 11, 2016 by Aarn Farmer Leave a Comment

Of all the smartphone apps I use on a regular basis to save money, Shopmium has by far been the redheaded stepchild of the group. They never seemed to have any good deals with their one positive being that the first time you used the app and used the referral code GMKACYRC, you got a FREE Lindt candy bar. Nothing motivates like FREE chocolate.

When it was announced last year that Shopmium was going to be acquired by Quotient, which is the same company that runs Coupons.com, I thought that maybe they could get the Shopmium act together and actually include deals worth getting.

It looked for a few weeks like that was exactly what was going to happen but then the wheels fell off. Shopmium announced that they were no longer going to allow you to get a rebate if you used a coupon for the same item you were trying to get to get a rebate on. So with stacking out and the number of deals low, why even bother?

However, there was a loophole because there were stores that made it difficult to see any used coupons on their receipts. Shopmium announced today that those stores with those hard to read coupons can no longer be used with Shopmium. These stores include Kroger Company (Kroger, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, King Soopers, Fry’s, Fred Meyer), CVS/ Pharmacy, Publix, Meijer, Baker’s Supermarkets, City Market, Copp’s, Dillons Food Stores, Dillons Marketplace, Fry’s Food & Drug, Foods Co., Food 4 Less, Fresh Market, Gerbes Super Markets, GreenWise, Jay C, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Mariano’s, Metro Market, Owen’s, Pay Less Super Markets, Pick ‘n Save, Publix Sabor, QFC, Roundy’s, Ruler Foods, Scott’s, Smith’s, Smith’s Marketplace, Smith’s Express, Tom Thumb Food Stores, Turkey Hill Minit Markets.

When you take out all Kroger affiliates, CVS, and Publix, you are shutting yourself off from a heckuva lotta stores and potential users! And why? To avoid giving an extra $2 back on one of your 29 currently available rebates? Is that a tradeoff that will be good for your business long-term? I don’t think it will be.

And while I’ve got your attention, let me share one of my frustrations with the app as a blogger. The way we as bloggers make money when we recommend any other of the smartphone rebate apps available is when you guys click on our affiliate link and actually use the app, we get a little something. Anywhere from $2 to $10 the first time the app is used so no one is taking vacations to Tahiti on that big app money but it’s something. Shopmium does it an entirely different way.

With Shopmium, I get a $2 credit applied to my account if one of you guys use the aforementioned referral code GMKACYRC to use the app and get your FREE candy bar. They only way I can access that referral credit is to buy one f the products listed in the app. So lets say I buy a Sara Lee poundcake for $4 and there is a $1 Shopmium rebate. Once I upload the receipt, I would get the $1 rebate but then I would get an additional $3 back paid out of any available referral credit. The problem here is that between my wife and I, we have accumulated over $1000 in referral credit from our 2 blogs and no one wants to buy $1000 in Sara Lee poundcake to get our money out. And even if we did do that, we wouldn’t have made anything because we would have bought $1000 in poundcake.

Someone in the Quotient/Shopmium business setup has decided that bloggers are the enemy and should not be rewarded for their work. I have seen other businesses decide that same thing and create business models antagonistic to bloggers and choose to go out of their way to not reward them for their work. In every one of those instances, those businesses went away. (Anyone remember Snap by Groupon?)

I’m sure Quotient has the capital to keep Shopmium alive but why tick off people who are willing to give you cheap advertising? Instead of deciding we are the enemy, why don’t you put down the stick and use a few carrots and partner with bloggers who can help. Step one? Throw away that stupid referral program and use the same one that every other app on the market uses.

Is This the End of Zip Code Specific Printable Coupons?

February 19, 2016 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

Tis a sad day indeed for all us couponers. Coupons.com has removed the little box that allows you to change your zip-code to see the different coupons available in different areas.

Here’s is what it looked like yesterday.

Now it’s more like this.

So we are all pretty much stuck with our home zipcode from now on. There is a work-around but it’s so stupidly complicated that I can’t imagine anyone will do it unless there is just an incredible must-have coupon.

In case you want to do it, you will need to go to Coupons.com, log in and then change your profile to the state and zipcode you want to print from, then grab your coupon. A pain in the rear to be sure.

Hopefully this will end but as of right now, it appears to be permanent.

Thanks to Coupons in the News for the heads up.

WARNING: Do NOT Buy Mag for PS3 at Walmart!

December 20, 2015 by Aarn Farmer Leave a Comment

It is being reported that several people are seeing the game Mag for PS3 back on the shelves at Walmart. Apparently, they had some left over stock in some warehouse somewhere and are using the Holidays to blow them out. The problem? This game is an online only from over 5 years ago and all the servers have long been shuttered.

This means that this game is essentially just a useless plastic disc that has no game you can play on it and Walmart is selling it. If memory serves, they did the same thing with City of Heroes after those servers were shut down also.

So if you are looking for a game for your kids this Christmas, be sure to NOT get Mag no matter how cheaply they are selling it for.

Walmart Just Announced Walmart Pay, a Way to Pay Electronically From Your Smartphone!

December 16, 2015 by Aarn Farmer Leave a Comment

Walmart just announced Walmart Pay, an option to pay electronically at the register with the Walmart app on your smartphone!

Hopefully this will also move us forward to the day when our receipts are automatically uploaded into savings Catcher so we don’t have to mess with that anymore as well.

Here’s what they had to say.

Walmart knows customers want to save not just money, but also time. Today, the retailer introduced Walmart Pay – a fast, easy and secure way for customers to pay with their smartphones in Walmart stores.

Built with the goal of improving how customers check out and dramatically expanding mobile payment access, Walmart Pay is like no other mobile payments solution available today. With this launch, Walmart becomes the only retailer to offer its own payment solution that works with any iOS or Android device*, at any checkout lane, and with any major credit, debit, pre-paid or Walmart gift card – all through the Walmart mobile app. The mobile payment feature will be introduced in select stores beginning this month, with a nationwide launch to be complete by the first half of next year.

”The Walmart app was built to make shopping faster and easier,” said Neil Ashe, president and CEO of Walmart Global eCommerce. “Walmart Pay is the latest example – and a powerful addition – of how we are transforming the shopping experience by seamlessly connecting online, mobile and stores for the 140 million customers who shop with us weekly.”

Twenty two million customers actively use the Walmart app each month and it ranks among the top three retail apps in the Google and Apple app stores. The Walmart app enhances the shopping experience in Walmart stores with features including checking in to pick up an online order at a Walmart store, refilling pharmacy prescriptions and finding an item’s store location.

Open, Scan, Done – It’s That Easy

Checkout using Walmart Pay happens in three easy steps:

Open: Visit any register, open the Walmart app and choose Walmart Pay. Activate the camera.
Scan: At any time during checkout, simply scan the code displayed at the register. Walmart Pay is now connected.
Done: Associate scans and bags the items… and it’s done. An eReceipt will be sent to the app and can be viewed at any time.

“The simplicity and ease of Walmart Pay comes not only from how it works, but also in how it’s been built,” said Daniel Eckert, senior vice president, services, Walmart U.S. “We made a strategic decision to design Walmart Pay to work with almost any smartphone and accept almost any payment type – even allowing for the integration of other mobile wallets in the future. The result is an innovation that will make the ease of mobile payments a reality for millions of Americans.”

If You Have Purchased a Tom’s of Maine Product in the Last 6 Years, You Need to See This

November 11, 2015 by Aarn Farmer 1 Comment

Have you purchased a Tom’s of Maine product between March 25, 2009 and September 23rd, 2015? If so, you need to put your information in on the Tom’s of Maine Class Action suit. You may be eligible to receive a $4 rebate on each product you bought, up to 7 products or $28.

Here’s the info from Top Class Actions

Tom’s of Maine Inc. has agreed to settle a false advertisement class action lawsuit, resolving claims that the company mislabeled certain beauty and personal care products as natural when they allegedly contained chemical products. If you bought one of the Tom’s of Maine products covered in this false advertisement class action settlement, you may be entitled to compensation.

Covered Products in this Tom’s of Maine class action settlement include:

Toothpaste
Deodorant
Soap
Lip Balm or Gloss
Sunscreen
Body Lotion
Hand Cream
Mouthwash
Other personal or oral care products

Plaintiff Allison Gay and other individuals filed this Tom’s of Maine false ad class action lawsuit in March of this year, alleging the company purposefully mislabeled their personal hygiene and beauty products listed above as “natural” when they allegedly contained unnatural substances.

For example, the false ad class action lawsuit states that Tom’s of Maine brand name natural toothpaste contains both glycerin and sodium lauryl sulfate.

Tom’s of Maine has denied all wrongdoing and liability in this false ad class action lawsuit, but has agreed to settle in order to avoid the uncertainty of continued litigation and mounting court costs.

In addition to paying $4.5 million to establish a settlement fund for Class Members, the Tom’s of Maine false ad class action settlement requires the company to change their labeling and marketing practices for the Covered Products, as well as make certain changes to the company’s website.
