The truth behind the “Walmart Challenge”
I’ve blogged about the truth behind the Walmart Challenge commercials before (see Where Walmart gets it wrong: The comparison-shopping challenge and Walmart’s “Receipt Comparison” tool: Inaccurate and misleading.) Today, Coupons In The News spoke with several of the “Walmart Moms” featured in these ads and learned that their appearances may have been incentivized and encouraged […]
Walmart to introduce smartphone coupons and checkout; struggles with unstocked shelves; and plans for customers to home-deliver each other’s orders?
Walmart made the news this week with a few interesting stories. First, the supercenter announced that it will be rolling out a new “Scan And Go” app, which will allow you to scan everything in your cart with your smartphone, then use your phone to check out instead of going to the register. The app […]
Retailers accuse Walmart of falsifying “Walmart Challenge” price-comparison ads
I’ve blogged off and on about the accuracy of Walmart’s price comparison ads, but now other retailers are calling Walmart out on them as well. Best Buy, Toys R Us, and several supermarket chains have filed legal complaints against Walmart’s advertising practices, saying that in some cases, the prices being compared in the “Walmart Challenge” […]
Walmart’s “Receipt Comparison” tool: Inaccurate and misleading (Evening update: They changed my receipt!)

Go shopping at your regular store, send in a photo of the receipt, and within 24-48 hours, Walmart will email you back how much you could have saved by buying ten of those same items at Walmart. […]
Where Walmart gets it wrong: The comparison-shopping challenge
The Sunday Chicago Tribune has an interesting ad (Sec. 1, Page 7 – or click to zoom) comparing an identical shopping list at Walmart and at Jewel. They compare identical items’ prices at both stores, then note that the Walmart list is $14.43 cheaper than Jewel. In a big, red circle, the ad notes “SHE […]
Supermarkets vs. Supercenters: A must-read!
In my Super-Couponing classes, I’m often asked the question whether it’s easier just to shop at an “everyday low price” supercenter vs. a “more expensive” supermarket with coupons to get the same savings. If you’ve used coupons for any length of time, you know that you’ll actually get much better savings at the “more expensive” supermarkets by following the sales and matching them with coupons.
