It’s kind of the worst when you buy that comforter at Kohl’s for $59.99 only to see that JCPenney has it for $49.99. But by scouting out what stores price match, you can get the absolute lowest prices every time you shop.
If you’ve already seen our list of retailers who offer price adjustments, you know you can get your money back if the price drops on an item within a certain time frame. Well, here’s a list of retailers who price match their competitors — right at the time of your purchase. Each store has a different price match policy when it comes to exclusions and the list of retailers they’ll price match. But don’t worry — we laid out all the price-matching info you need for each store right here.
Be sure to download The Krazy Coupon Lady app so you can see who’s offering the lowest prices, or text HACKS to 57299 for more money-saving tips.
1. Best Buy will price-match select online retailers and local competitors up to 15 days after your purchase.
You can get a Best Buy price match at the time you make your purchase or within the return and exchange window (it’s a standard 15 days after your purchase).
Best Buy will only match online prices if they’re offered directly by the other retailer — not by a third-party seller. Best Buy won’t price match special daily or hourly sale prices, and items that get a price drop the Friday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving won’t get price matched either.
Who does Best Buy price match?
Best Buy price matches local retail competitors (including their competitors’ online prices) plus a few online-only retail competitors:
Abt
Amazon

Costco
Crutchfield
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Home Depot
Lowe’s

2. Target will price match up to 30 big-name retailers within 14 days of your purchase.
Target will price match Target.com, local competitor print ads, and about 30 popular online retailers. The Target price match policy only allows for price matches within 14 days of your purchase (or at the time of your purchase).
Target has a few standard price match exclusions in their policy, though. Like, they’ll only match online prices for products that are sold and shipped directly by Target, so no third-party sellers are allowed. They also won’t match online prices if you live in Alaska or Hawaii.

3. Walmart will only price-match Walmart.com.
We’ve seen some big changes to Walmart’s price match policy over the past couple of years, and not in the ways we love. Walmart has a long list of price match exclusions. For example, if you’re shopping in-store, Walmart will only match their own online prices, as long as the item is sold and shipped directly from Walmart (so no third-party marketplace sellers).
How do I get a Walmart price match?
When shopping in-store, ask the cashier at the register or an employee at the Customer Service desk for a price match for the item you found on Walmart.com.
4. The Home Depot will price match any local or online competitor — including Amazon — but not wholesale retailers.
The Home Depot will price-match identical items from any local or online competitor at the time of your purchase. They’ll even match prices from Amazon if it’s sold and shipped by Amazon (and not a third-party seller). They won’t price match with wholesale retailers like Costco or Sam’s Club, though.
Some exclusions to The Home Depot’s price match policy include seasonal, discontinued, or clearance items, as well as one-time-only promos (like Black Friday and various holiday sales). While there are some retailers who’ll always price match their own websites, The Home Depot doesn’t always come through in this category. The store manager usually decides whether they’ll match a HomeDepot.com price, so be sure to ask as kindly and calmly as possible.
Who does The Home Depot price match?
Any local or online competitor, with the exception of wholesale retailers.
How do I get The Home Depot price match?
If you’re shopping in-store, just show the ad, printout, or screenshot of the lower price to the cashier before you make your purchase. If you’re shopping online, call (800) 466-3337.
5. Lowe’s will price match any local competitor and about a dozen online retailers.
Lowe’s price match policy gives you a whole 30 days to request a price match. They’ll price match identical items from any local competitor and 11 online retailers.

If you buy Nike sneakers from Nordstrom and find a lower price on Nike.com, Nordstrom will match the price within 10 days of your purchase. Nordstrom will price-match identical items from their vendor websites and direct competitors.

In terms of what stores price match, Dick’s Sporting Goods has a pretty flexible price match policy. They’ll price match any local competitor within 25 miles, plus a long list of online retailers within 14 days of your purchase. They’ll also price-match their sister stores (Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream) and even match the sale prices from qualified retailers.

8. Kohl’s will price match Kohls.com and their competitors’ in-store prices.
Even though they’ll price match almost any store, Kohl’s price match policy has a lot of carve-outs for specific products or brands.

You won’t be able to use Kohl’s coupons on top of a Kohl’s price match, but you can use Kohl’s Cash.
How do I get a Kohl’s price match?
Technically, you need to print out the competitor’s ad before you bring it to your Kohl’s cashier for a price match. The printout you bring in must show the current price, a description of the item, and the competitor’s current retail or sale price for the item. To get a price match online, start a conversation with Kohl’s customer service.
9. PetSmart will match pretty much anyone’s prices except for Amazon or eBay.
Even though PetSmart is pretty flexible with who they’ll price match, there’s a small catch.
If you’re shopping in store, PetSmart will only match in-store prices. If you’re shopping on Petsmart.com, they’ll only match prices from competitors’ websites. In both cases, you can only request a price match at the time of your purchase.
PetSmart doesn’t do price matching on pets or services like PetSmart grooming. They also won’t price match BOGO deals or “free gift with purchase” promos or prices from Amazon, eBay, or other auction sites.

Bring proof of the lower price to PetSmart and show it to an associate before you make your purchase. For online purchases, call (888) 839-9638.
10. Ashley Furniture will price match a few direct competitors, but only for online purchases.
