Please excuse my mis-use of the blogging structure. :/<br /><br />In terms of price matching, I am <I>scouring</I> weekly ads to garner the best deals from different stores. I end up taking 5 inserts to Wal-Mart and getting price matches on <I>several</I> items.<br /><br />When I make my grocery list, I write the best deal there on my list, so I don't have to shuffle through the ads as I shop.<br /><br />The problem is at Wallyworld, the cashier has to catch the match at each item, manually enter the price, and I end up shuffling through these inserts to find the match and show him/her each one. Finding the correct page is difficult too. I can't cut them out, because the validating dates-usually on the front or back- need to stay in tact for proof. <br /><br />This also means I have to keep an eagle eye on the check belt and make sure we don't skip one.<br /><br />I thought about organizing my grocery cart as I shop, price matches here (and sub-categorized by cheapest ad - Target, Walgreens, etc.), non-matches there, but my cart is always so full that toward the end of the trip, I can no longer place things where they still have some semblance of order. <br /><br />In all your frugal wisdom, do you have any organizational tips for handling these multiple price matches when checking out?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for reading! :)erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176166809179793606noreply@blogger.com
