Re: price matching
I don't bother with price matching for groceries myself I think it is rather pointless .Every store has its 'loss leaders' and higher or lower priced items . Unless you want to go to the trouble of pricing every item you buy, and driving around every store to make a comparison in order to find the cheapest I can't see what there is to gain by doing it.
I think the stores know this jolly well and just use 'price matching' to make us believe we are getting something we aren't.
I could probably buy some things for less than I pay in the shops I use but by the time I have burnt expensive petrol getting to the next town to look I will have lost any advantage.
It may be slightly different for those who live in towns and have lots of stores to choose from.

Re: price matching
There’s nothing as enjoyable to the ordinary Joe Soap as watching a greed war between supermarkets, I vaguely remember there was one that went on here for a couple of years until the government had to step in to sort it out, I think a law was pasted about below cost selling, forget the details now, but it was good while it lasted.
