Price Matching at Lowe's, Best Buy, Target, Michaels and many other stores can save you a ton of cash. If you’re like me, you want to maximize your savings always, but there comes a time when you want to use a specific retailer for convenience and unfortunately, they don’t have the best price. This is where price matching comes in. Simply put, Price matching is when a store offers to match a competitor's lower price on the same item. All you need to do, to claim your discount is present proof of a competitor's lower price within the timeframe specified by the store's price match policy. Believe it or not, only about 17% of shoppers take advantage of price matching, according to a report from the National Retail Federation.
The key to price matching is to shop your favorite retailers who are willing to honor the suggested price. The process can be mysterious and does take some time to gather the information necessary for a successful price match. Amazon does not price-match but many other retailers will match prices from Amazon, but not from third party sellers thru Amazon.
