You are welcome! Glad you use it....I had my list in my phone, plus was using flipp and forgot my damn phone at home when I went this past weekend!

That's a neat app! Thanks for sharing. I really might start price-matching now!

I am not trying to stir the pot here... but...

I just found out Target will price match with Amazon.ca. Just got some great deals on with a few small things I had to buy. I just showed them my phone screen of the Amazon price and boom, saved $32 instantly on a a few tings that would have cost $70.

I found an app called NeoScan. You can scan the bar-code and will be instantly search Amazon.ca so you can price match.

You don't need a third party app, the amazon app itself has the barcode scanner functionality: on the right side of the search box click on the barcode symbol and the scanner will open. Pretty cool feature! Personally I don't use it for price matching, just played with it a few times, I normally order directly from amazon, it's rare when their prices are not competitive.

Could this be the end to price matching in stores:

https://savingscatcher.walmart.com/

Wal-Mart has long matched competitors' advertised sale prices at the checkout. That meant some serious study for dedicated bargain-hunters, combing the weekly sale ads to find better prices. To take the legwork out of the process, Savings Catcher lets you scan the receipt with your smartphone or type the receipt number into Wal-Mart's shopping app, available on Apple's App Store or Google Play, or on Wal-Mart's website.

Then, Wal-Mart compares what you bought with its competitors' sale prices. When it finds a lower price, it lets you put the difference between that price and what you paid on an electronic gift card.

After you scan the receipt, the service takes up to three business days to tell you whether you're getting any money back. Ostensibly this is to compare prices with competitors, but it may also be a way to keep people from exploiting mistakes or other loopholes in the system. There is also a limit of seven receipts per week.

I price match regularly and use coupons. Don't like it if I'm in front of you make it go faster by buying my groceries.

its this "me first" attitude that makes price matchers such losers. Wow you even have a blog on a website that is offline cause you haven't paid your bills. You're not price matching enough and running out of money.

You really should have sat down and asked the important questions before you got married.

If she price matches she is only one step away from searching for promo codes.....think Leaf tickets

I feel compelled to share my story here.

My oldest son had a hockey game on Saturday at the sports center. By chance, my youngest had a birthday party at the same place, same time.

The game was over and we had an hour to kill before the party was over, so I decided to squeeze in a grocery shop. So me and my son head over to Wal-Mart on the other end of town. Now I didn’t have much time, and being AWOL at 4:00 to pick up my other kid was not an option so I had to do this with military precision. I pulled in to the lot at 3:05, stuck my son in the cart and just hammered the aisles grabbing crap as quickly as I could. Managed to fill the entire cart in 20 minutes and get to the checkout line at 3:25. Awesome.

So I unload my stuff, while the guy in front is being processed. I’m all in at this point. No turning back. Finally the guys last item is scanned when out of nowhere he pulls out a wad of folded up paper. Crap. The cashier takes one look at it and says “I need original copies”, to which he replies “It’s from a web site”. Then the worst case scenario happened. She said “I have to call a manager”. You could hear the entire line muttering under their breath.

So of course, this is Wal-Mart, on a Saturday. The manager is probably busy arguing with some cheap slob over the price of twinkies in Asile 3 and of course doesn’t respond. 2 pages later and the cashier takes the initiative – she asks the cashier beside her what to do, to which she responded with the Wal-Mart shrug. So the cashier is like “screw it”, and enters the coupons in anyways – which of course doesn’t work. Initiative thwarted. She pages the manager a 3rd time.

So it’s now 3:45, and I’m going to be late. So I look at the guy and I say “Dude, do you need the deodorant that badly? (He had $5 off coupons for a wad of sticks – nice coupon)”, to which he said “Well, it shouldn’t be this big of a deal”. He was right. I looked at the cashier, said I’m going to be late, and I walked. I had to leave everything there.

They need a line for coupons. It should be staffed by managers only, and it should be big enough to wrap around the building.

Price matchers suck. Period and Amen.

A Coupon for money off and price matching using Flipp are two very difference things. The fact that it was a photo copy made it dead in the water.

But I do salute you for walking away, letting the manager deal with that too, Priceless. At least the people behind you had not yet unloaded their carts and could find another aisle.

As a guy that does grocery runs similarly to military precision I respect ya -- but you lost me at going to Wal-Mart.

No Frills! You would have gotten back in time!

What they really need is an easy way to transfer things to another till. I was at Wal-Mart getting a gift for a birthday party my daughter was attending and the lady forgot to do a gift receipt for the last items. So she tells me to go to customer service to get it fixed (refund & re-purchase). The good -- the people behind me didn't have to wait. The bad -- it was their f-up and yet I had to wait for the customer service lady to become available and then handle my order. I thought for a second (since I could see I'd have to wait a customer service) to camp in the line until they fixed it, but thought again, its not all these other people's fault WM lady messed it up.

You know, I thought that as I was OMW to Wal-Mart. I’m not from that end of town, so I decided to stick with the devil I know. I figured I wouldn’t get stuck not finding the stuff I needed if I made the drive.
