Walmart Savings Catcher Update (Bummer For Us!)

So Walmart has released a bummer of an email about updates to Savings Catcher usage. To refresh your memory, Savings Catcher is a program where you can make your purchase at Walmart and they will find the lowest price available (around town) to make sure that you’re getting the lowest price. Unfortunately for us, they’re changing the program so that it’s not quite as appealing anymore. Here’s the email:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for using Savings Catcher. We wanted to share with you an update on some changes to the program. Beginning February 14, 2015, we are removing some departments consisting mostly of items that do not have a like for like match at other retailers, such as produce and bakery items. Additionally, we are limiting our comparisons to offers of other mass market retailers, grocery and dollar stores, removing comparisons with drug stores.

Thanks again for using Savings Catcher and shopping with us. We are dedicated to providing customers like you with Everyday Low Prices. It’s a mission we’re proud of and we’ll continue to work hard to deliver for you.

For details on these and other changes, please visit our Terms of Use or FAQs.

Sincerely,
Your Walmart Savings Catcher Team

If you do most of your Savings Catcher promos with grocery stores, this likely won’t affect you. That said, most of the lowest prices and best deals are with CVS and Walgreens promos that change each week. This does NOT change anything when it comes to price matching (that is a totally different promotion that Walmart provides), so please keep in mind that this is ONLY when it comes to Savings Catcher.
