We were just waking up this morning and heard a commercial stating that Walmart is expanding their nationwide price match policy to include any and all Black Friday deals. This could mean avoiding huge lines of bargain shoppers and being able to do a lot of shopping at one store.

We've used price match on groceries lots of times, but seldom on other merchandise.

Make your list, grab the competitors ads and head to the stores! This could be really good!

Here's what Walmart's web site says:
