Price-matching is awesome, but many stores' price-matching policies have tiny details that could make a world of difference if you're trying to snag a bargain. Make sure to read the fine print to make sure you'll walk away with the discount you're shopping for.
Lots of retailers will match prices, but U.S. News recently pointed out some surprising details of popular price-matching policies that you'll want to keep in mind before you go shopping. For example: Home Depot will not only match a competitor's price of an exact same product, they'll even beat it by 10%. However, this doesn't apply to sales, which could be a deal breaker. Newegg only price matches one item in your order, and Walmart requires you to contact their customer care when placing an order online, instead of having a more seamless system in place.
If you don't want to feel cheated on a deal, make sure you read price matching policies closely so you know what you're in for beforehand.
