Does Walmart price match other stores prices on guns? Academy has it for $184.99. Walmart.com has it listed for $193.42.

Just noticed they increased my credit limit.

ETA: Might get a killer deal on a pressure washer in the future too.

Why go to Walmart if you don't need to?

Maybe, maybe not. The real question, is it really worth the effort for $9? Just go to Academy and get it.

This - and the fact that you're going back and forth over a lousy $9, suggests that maybe you can't afford to buy this...

Dunno about guns, but they match on damn near everything else.

Walmart is 3 miles from home. Academy is like 35 miles away. Plus I have increase in Wallyworld credit.

If you present the ad showing Academy's price they will.

If you don't have an ad, but are insistent, sometimes Wal-Mart will call the competitor and verify their price. I recommend asking for a manager ASAP if you plan the latter course of action.

I can afford it. Have my $600 Uncle Sugar check coming. Just don't feel like waiting for it to arrive.

Got the price from their website. Maybe they will honor it or not.

If you're concerned about the difference in money, then you may want to think about..."can I afford the ammo to go with it..?"

Just sayin'.....

Print out their website displaying the price. Take it into Wal-Mart. I'd include a copy of the link. However, sometimes Wal-Mart won't honor prices for places beyond a certain distance...they consider themselves "not in competition" with far away places. I don't know the exact distance, but an example would be a Wal-Mart in Kennesaw not matching the price of a Target in Jasper. @ 35 miles, I think you're pushing it, but you're only losing $9.

What did that other store do to piss you off that walmart can't?

In store prices are sometimes cheaper than the online prices. Call your local WM and find out what they cost at the store.

If you bring in an ad, and the store is within a reasonable distance then they should match the price. Some WM stores will go comp shopping at other local retailers. They may have already marked the gun down 5% under the other store's price.

Thanks. It's only $9, but it's almost a bulk pack of 22lr.

Walmart is just alot closer.

ETA: The door checkers leave me alone usually, since they see a receipt in my hand on the way out.

If you're carrying a balance on ANY CC, you can not afford it.
