Report: Walmart offers online price comparison tool
New York -- Walmart has introduced an online feature, called “Savings Catcher,” that allows shoppers to compare prices on the chain’s food and household products against those of its competitors, according to the Associated Press. General merchandise categories and electronics are not included, and neither are purchases of store brands or those made online.
Walmart began offering the new service in late February, the report said, in seven markets, including Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta.
