Some of the most frequented stores we shop at have have valuable savings programs worth looking into. Stores such as Staples, Office Depot, PLUS Target, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid are great to scope out for such offers, which can really come in handy during this back-to-school season.

Price match policies can differ from store to store. To get the lower price you will need to compare merchandise offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.), and you would be smart to have the ad showing the lower price on your person. It also likely needs to be a product identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.). Some stores will refuse to honor an online price, matching only the in-store prices of local competitors; others require different levels of proof.

Some have Price Match Guarantee programs, but others offer other great opportunities to save. It is worth looking into!
