Stupid, right? At least I thought so...

I was looking at a 200 LED spool of christmas lights. It's $25 online, and $35 in the store. I went to the desk to get them to match the price and the lady told me that they do not match their prices to their web site's prices.

Aggravating! I need lights on my tree, now, and for a 12' tree if I replace my incandescents I probably need 1400 - 1600 lights. So that's 7 - 8 packs. $80 more to buy in-store than online :roll:

Do they do ship to store or allow immediate pick up in store? If they do get on your smart phone and order them , and pick them up immediately all as you stand there.

Wal-Mart FTW. It's a lot less "French". :lol:

Walmart has the same policy about the store not matching internet pricing. I had that problem buying an iPod Classic 3 years ago. Walmart online was $25 less than MSRP. At the store, it was MSRP.

What was the final outcome so we can put this thread to rest?

they didn't have them online to order anymore, and no they don't price match online and in-store, so i ended up paying the extra $10 a reel (x10). It ended up costing $270 or so for christmas lights. But it looks awesome. I'll post a pic when I get the decorations up.

Friggen holidays! Bah humbug!

You should get a Costco membership, they had tons of led lights cheap when I was in there the other week.

Why not put up a menorah? 8 lights and you are done.
