It is NOT what you think. What you are seeing is done on a store by store basis....not something from Head Office. Our store where I am has been doing this for some time now. What the stores are doing is, they are looking at the flyers...many locally only...and changing prices in their system to prices in the weekly ads. Some could be doing it for majority of things in the flyers they look at....some may be doing it only for the items they figure there will be lots of ad matching to. And the prices in the register are for THAT store only. So you could go to another Walmart in the same city if there is one, and the price might be the regular price.
