walmart shrek 2 warning!
Just got back from walmart, long story made short: they are not price matching comps ads!(cvs, bb, etc). If you try to get the walmart exclusive 2 pack with free shrek 2 cd they will not honor the price match!! I finally had to get the 1 disk dvd, drive to another waly world, loose the recept and exchange for the 2 pack. Walmart are real JERKS!!!!

Why should they honor the price match? You weren't trying to buy Shrek 2, you were trying to by a 2-pack with Shrek 2 and a bonus CD.
Wal-Mart.com has Shrek 2, like everyone else has in their ads, for $15.87. The version with the CD is $19.96. They are different items, so why would you think you could use an ad for item A to use for item B?

Answer: Because people aren't just happy getting a great deal. They want something for nothing.

I think the real jerk is clear here. You aren't trying to price match the same item, you are trying to rip them off since it's a differnet product.
Cry yourself a river all you want or complain about it all you want. I hate Wal mart and I'm siding with them on this one.

Go to your room and don't come out until you have thought long and hard about what you have done. In the meantime, don't expect any of us to feel sorry for you.

It's one thing if it's like the Star Trek bonus disc at Best Buy. In that instance, Best Buy only has copies of Season Two with the bonus disc inside. Sure, they could turn down a price match from somewhere else because of the disc, but they don't offer an alternate without the disc until they run out of the bonus version. So they're usually going to honor the price match.
In this case, Wal-Mart is offering Shrek 2 by itself, or Shrek 2 with this bonus CD at a different price. If they weren't selling it by itself, then I could understand being upset.

Just to underscore what Jack wrote, if Wal-Mart is selling a Wal-Mart exclusive, how could they price-match with a competitor that is not and cannot sell the same item? That's kind of what the word "exclusive" means.

Besides that point, I have to iterate FinkPish's question: Why are you shopping at Wal-Mart?

Why shop at Wal*Mart?
Because they consistently have the high-profile releases cheaper than anyone on release day. This is true at the WM near me (YMMV). Plus, I usually go after work around 4ish... and it's less of a hassle than Best Buy.
That said, I use WM for a small percentage of my purchases but they're an option that I'll continue to use. I don't understand why saving money is such a bad thing.
ps, I'm not condoning what c&b did... that was just wrong

Walmart did NOT HAVE THE SINGLE DISK FOR $15.97! it was $19.99 also!! That was my argument with the walmart manger!!! I said if your going to price match only the single disk, why not the disk with the free cd!! The display had both single & 2 packs at the same price! I think $19.99 for either one was stupid, many people in line thought they would at least have the single disk for $15.00 or less....

Is what i did wrong? If other walmart market's had both for $15.97? I just thought it was wrong to pm the single dvd that was $19.99 also! Funny thing the manager wanted to pm the vhs price of $9.99 beacuse she thought it was vhs, i said no that's the dvd in your hand. Maybe this is why the workers there have no clue & some get ripped off......
