If you are looking to stock up on Bounty paper towels or Charmin toilet paper at Shaw’s during their 4 Day Sale, I’m going to tell you how to by-pass that $10 minimum purchase and save lots of headaches! Head on over to Walmart and do a price match!
The only thing is that you will not get the $5/$20 SavingStar refund. So, if you are working on that, you need to stick to Shaw’s. And if you are using the $.25/1 Charmin coupon, it won’t double. No biggie!
Here’s what you do (must do it by 3/11)…
- Take the Shaw’s flyer to Walmart (you don’t have to show the flyer, but I always do)
- Buy exactly what is shown in the flyer (Bounty Basic 8 Roll PT or Charmin Basic 12 roll TP)
- Tell the cashier you are doing a price match and show them the price
- Use your coupons if you have them
- Pay for your stuff and be done with it!
When Shaw’s had this sale in January, it happened to be Scott TP and I was able to pick up as many as I wanted in one transaction with no limits and no additional $10 minimum purchase. I can’t believe I almost forgot to tell you about doing a price match!

Well this price match didn’t work for me at Walmart…the cashier said they couldn’t match it because Shaws required their rewards card for the purchase. They could only match things that didn’t require a rewards card at a store. I didn’t think that was true, but didn’t have their policy in hand to show them.
That is SO SAD that you got that wrong information. Next time have them show you the policy if you don’t have it with you. Print it now and go back if you can. Here is the policy and you will see that it says they will gladly match “Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad.” That’s what the price match is all about!

Thanks for the information Darlene. I’ll print it out now and keep it with me in case I run into this problem again.
Just wondering how the Walmart price match on the current Shaws deals does not require a minimum when the ad your are going to show them states that there is one. I’m sure you’re right, but I’ve never tried and I just don’t want a hassle. 🙂
Thanks
There can always be a hassle at Walmart, or any store. I wish we could fool proof it! First, you don’t have to show them the ad. That’s in their policy… no ad needed! Just tell them that the item is on sale and for how much. Even when I show the ad for these sales, I’v never had them enforce the minimums or the limits. Each store may vary.
Walmarts policy states one price match per item per transaction… So just know they might fight you on it!!! If they let you do more than one, then be excited 🙂
Where are you seeing that, Alison? http://corporate.walmart.com/ad-match-guarantee
Brilliant! Does that mean we can get more than 4 at a time then?
Yes! I’ve never had them enforce any limit or any min purchase.
