How to save BIG on your groceries!

A few of you might already know that Wal Mart matches the prices of other local grocery store ads. Each week the Penny Power comes I search through the ads and make my weekly menu according to what is on sale. Then I write down the store name and the item sale price to tell the cashier at Wal-Mart the prices to match. This week a few of the meals on the menu include BBQ Ribs with Fried Potatoes, Chili Cheese Nachos, Baked Penne Pasta with Garlic Bread and Baked Chicken Breasts with Mashed Potatoes. Here are a few examples of how I saved:

  1. Wow! That is really helpful. I never bothered matching prices because I thought I had to bring in all the other store ads which seemed like a hassle. Can you really just tell them the price of another store and they will match it?
