Operation Unbeatable will be supported by Wal-Mart's every day low price promise to be the lowest price retailer in any community through its Ad Match program.

Examples of Operation Unbeatable Back to School values:
• Only $1 buys 4 wide ruled notebooks, 2 bottles Elmer's glue (4 oz.) and a 24-pack of crayons
• $2 – buys a 10-pack of #2 pencils, 2-pack erasers and 10-pack Bic pens
• $5 – buys a new backpack or a colorful “Munchsak” for snacks and lunch
• $10 – buys a Texas Instrument or Casio scientific calculator
• $50 – buys a week's worth of school clothes, with shorts at $5 each and shirts two for $9
• $80 – buys two pair of prescription glasses at the Wal-Mart Vision Center

“We'll continue to be more aggressive on pricing,” said Simon, “and already are working with key suppliers on upcoming plans for fall and holiday.” Wal-Mart will bring in new price changes week by week, depending on the seasonal need, and focusing on top brands customers want.
