Has anyone tried this before? (price match related)

CAGiversary!
I noticed a while back when I pricematched a printout from BestBuy's flier at Futureshop, they just looked at it (it was really blurry, my printer is crap), saw the price, and gave it to me for that much. Say I save the online flier for this week, and then next time I go to Futureshop for whatever reason, I can pricematch it then. Sort of like an extended raincheck.

The only catch I can see is if they looked at the Best Buy flier and recognize that it isn't from that week's.

that would work, unless like you said, they realize it was from a previous week, i've PMed a blurry walmart flyer at FS, but since I was buying 3 copies they got suspicious and gave me a hard time, though i managed to get out with all 3 (for your purchase you should have gotten the PM - 10% of the difference from FS's normal price, since that is their price matching policy)
 
You got lucky. For me, they check online for the price. After all, once I price matched at Zellers and they did it on my word. Didn't look at proof or anything.
 
If for some reason they know the flyer is from last week then you can just pretend you didn't know and go like "Oh, this is from last week, I thought it was this week".
 
I'm not cheap enough to try it, but whenever I think of printing off a flyer I think "damn, this looks easy to photoshop".

While I'm sure they'd notice you trying to buy a Wii for $20, changing an expiry date doesn't seem too wrong to me ;)
 
I guess it depends on each store at each location. I went to Zellers on Boxing Day to price match a 1 GB SD Card for $20 (pretty damn good deal for a SanDisk), and they had to see the flyer, look at the dates on it, and were almost ready to call and ask them, but didn't because of the lineups they had to deal with.
