I suspect this particular spam is really a SCAM. No legitimate (competent?)
legal office would write like this.

I was buying up a bunch of snack size slim jim boxes at Wal-Mart the
other day for $2.99 each (box of 16) for Halloween, when I thought I
would go over to the local Kroger and give them some of my business. It
was also partly because the strawberries at Wal-Mart were not in good
shape, and I knew I'd probably be able to get better ones at Kroger.
Anyway, Kroger had the same box of slim jims for $4.29 - 43% more.
They also had some pepperoni flavored ones. I went up to the service
counter and asked what their price matching policy is, and was told "We
don't ever match competitor prices".
Wow. I didn't expect that. Most places I've given business to, when
told that their prices are much higher than other local stores, will
price match to help keep you as a regular shopper.
Up until recently, I've done most of our grocery shopping at Kroger.
However, I've noticed that their prices seem to range from 10% to 45%
more on a variety of items.
In your experience, will most stores price match local competition,
or do they just brush you off like Kroger did when I pointed out how
high their prices were?

I don't know. I only have used the price-matching policies of Staples and
Office Depot. For a time, it was possible to buy from the lower priced, get a
10% beat the price guarantee from the second, and an additional 10% from the
first. For most items that's useful only if the stores are very close together,
LOL!

If the major grocery chains did price matching, they would advertise it very
prominently

We heat our home with a radiant heat source. Just like the Sun, that
heats the Earth w/o heating the air in between. Radiant heat heats the
objects in your space and prevents you from losing your heat to them.
Very, in fact, the most efficient way to heat a space.
Look into it. Then you won't have to spend so much to be comfortable.
