But two points are valid - price matching of the same item from a flyer only... But wm often has off size bags or something else to make it look cheaper, when really you're getting a different quantity at the same price or higher, but with a different product/part number so no match can be made. Also, best prices aren't always from a flyer. Some places have a better everyday price, or some places may be online, yet apples to apples because of free shipping.
Claiming a price match guarantee exists and makes it all better is an invalid point, when pains are made to have different products that can't easily be price matched.
