What is a price matching “coupon”? What does it look like? Where can you use it and not use it? This is a topic that needs some addressing. I teach in my class about price matching “coupons”–but it is time to address it here on the blog as well.
So what is it? A price match “coupon” is actually a sale price–Not a cents off or dollar off coupon. The best example of this is some of the “coupons” that Walgreens puts in their ad. The sale price on the bandaids below is actually $1.99. It’s not $1.99 off bandaids.
Price Match “Coupon” Example:
Some Walgreens coupons are actual cents off or dollars off. Those you can use at stores that accept competitor coupons(like some Publix locations). The bandaid coupon below is actually $2 off bandaids.
Normal Cents/Dollar Off Coupon Example:
So please do not take the price match “coupons” to Publix. Publix does not price match. Thus, they will not accept a price match “coupon”. To be accepted at Publix, the coupon must be a cents off or $ amount off of a product.
Use them at the stores that they were meant for or try WalMart.
Hopefully, I explained it well enough. If you ever have questions about a coupon like this please send me an email and I will do my best to help you out. bargainbuggy@gmail.com or ask a Publix customer service manager.
