What to have in hand
- Identical SKU or model number
- The competitor’s current price on your phone (not a screenshot from last week)
- Whether the item is sold and shipped by the competitor—not a marketplace third party
Online vs store
Some matches are in-store only. Some require the competitor to have local pickup. Contractor packs and volume pricing get excluded more often than a single hammer.
Bottom line
Price match is a backup, not a shopping plan. If you already live near one chain, use it there and stop driving across town for $6.
