The program will let customers use online retailers and digital flyers, too. It could mean big savings.

Coupon expert Gail Quigley says a bit of online research can save $100 a month for savvy shoppers.

You connect yourself online to various coupons on Facebook and different sites. We all take pieces of it and share that information. With the internet it's so much easier and takes a fraction of the time, she said.

Target didnt say how long it will run the offer.

Walmart will be sticking to its local matching policy, said Alex Roberton, the companys director of corporate affairs in Canada.

Well ad-match with online flyers from other local merchants and as well using their printed flyers, he said.

For online prices, youll need to bring it in on a mobile device, or print it out.

Local is a loose term and its up to each store to decide if the rival deal is local to that store.
