HOW does one price match?

er...why would you buy the item then take it in for pricematch?

i've never done it, but i assume you just take in the ad with the other company's price.
 
It usually involves contacting customer service and referring them to the price you found through another company. Often B&M stores won't pricematch websites. A common example would be going to Best Buy and having them match an ad from Circuit City. Alternatively, if you were ordering online, you can call customer service and tell them the link for the website which has a lower price.
 
first and foremost, you have to know what their policies are as far as pricematching goes. A rule of thumb is that brick and mortar (B&M, aka the physical stores) do not pricematch online vendors, unless they're the same company.

If you see that it's acceptable, it's usually best to bring the ad in, and at the checkout line, tell the cashier/register person that you want to pricematch - at this juncture they might call the manager over to make sure it's okay - they may ask to see the ad or the online address, and once they do, they will pricematch it.

Of course, some store managers might give you crap or outright deny you, but then again, some stores even pricematch the online competitor's price, even if they're not supposed to. It's all a luck of the draw, I suppose.
