These Are the Walmarts That Have Killed Ad Match, According to Readers
When we wrote about Walmart stores nixing price matching in many locations, we hit a pretty big roadblock: The company wouldn’t tell us which ones were affected.
Enter our super-awesome, wicked-smart and very good-looking Penny Hoarder readers.
We asked readers to tell us what stores had ended price match. We received more than 200 responses. Then we started compiling a map of all the Walmart stores that have reportedly forsaken the ad-matching policy.
Charles Crowson, senior manager for corporate communications at Walmart, would not confirm whether the stores on our reader-inspired list had, in fact, ended ad matching.
So far, readers have told us about 18 Walmart locations in Florida that have ended the policy, more than any other state in the U.S. New York, Georgia, Illinois and California are right behind it. We haven’t heard from anyone from Alaska or Hawaii yet.
We know there are hundreds of other Walmarts that have killed price matching, and we want to keep our readers updated. So let us know if your local store’s policy has changed via our super-quick Google form — it’s anonymous! Contact us at [email protected] or chat about it in our Facebook comments.

Meanwhile, it’s a great time to get to know the Savings Catcher app, which compares prices and automatically gives you a credit if Walmart spots a lower price for anything you bought.
The Savings Catcher app is also available by logging in to your account online and entering your receipt number, so if you’re not a smartphone user, you can still take advantage of the program.
