More warm than hot IMO, but fwiw Pharmasave ON has unspecified "selected" Axe products for $2.99 this week (IDK about elsewhere), and C51 has $2 back limit 5.

For those who can PM this price at RCSS (YMMV), there's a flyer offer of 6k for every $15 spent on Axe, St Ives, Degree and Vaseline.

Valid to July 2, 2020

Simply Orange Juice $1.98/$1.99 ea @ Seasons Thornhill and Sunny Leslie
Philadelphia Cream Cheese 227g (tub) $.99 ea @ Oceans Brampton

All good things come to an

Thank you for letting us know. Very disappointed

Price matching was stopped in some locations in spring of 2019 in Ontario. I wonder if this is going to be a universal thing now and they won’t be price matching in any Walmart in Canada.

This sucks big time... We have to work so much harder at getting deals now. :(

Obviously not good, but frankly, WM has been tightening the rules for quite some time, so while I wasn't expecting this, it doesn't come as a big shock either.

Walmart confirmation it’s chain wide:

Most of our food purchases were priced matched at Walmart to the independent stores across Ontario for the best prices. For us, the limited number of coupon flyer inserts were no longer beneficial, tearpad coupons are limited or non existent, printable coupons have been lacklustre and cashback services offerings don't match our purchase needs ...

We'll need to rethink our buying strategy and rely on seasonal/clearance sales and loyalty programs. Let's hope competition between the grocery chains increase, so we get better marketing offerings.

October 15th, end of another good benefit.

You make a very good point; it's far more important to think about how to change our respective shopping strategies than it is to bemoan a policy change that almost certainly won't be reversed, at least not in the short term. And this is increasingly important depending how much one shops and PMs at WM.

Looking farther ahead though, if those who believe WM will lose a significant amount of business are correct, it seems likely that PMing will return. A critical point for those who feel this way is to act on it by shopping there as little as possible - preferably not at all - after Oct. 15. It seems self-evident that WM doesn't expect the change to have a meaningful negative impact on their bottom line. The more people continue to shop there, even without buying anything they would currently PM, the less said negative impact will be.
