A SAVVY shopping trick at Walmart
A SAVVY shopping trick at Walmart could save you up to 50% on certain items – and it’s by simply scanning the barcode in store.
Tiktok user Nathan Kennedy, who teaches his followers about money, recently shared the Walmart hack for your next shopping trip.
Nathan said: “Here’s a Walmart hack that you probably don’t know about and that will literally blow your mind.”
Walmart has always promised to its shoppers that if the price of a product is cheaper online, the store will allow you to purchase the product at the online price.
This is not an unusual policy, and it is actually one that most stores have.
However, Nathan recently discovered that Walmart’s online prices and in-store prices vary tremendously, and people can actually save quite a bit of cash.
By downloading the Walmart app, you will be able to scan products in the store with your phone and directly compare in-store prices to online prices.
Nathan found that an espresso maker was $179 in-store. But, when he looked up the online price, it was $99.
This amounted to a savings of almost 50%.
Naturally, it would be extremely time-consuming to scan every product — especially when you are doing a big shopping trip — but using this trick on big-ticket items will keep money in your wallet a bit longer.
Other ways to save a Walmart
One of the easiest and simplest ways to save money at Walmart is to use coupons.
You find Walmart coupons on its store website or by doing a quick and simple Google search.
Another way you can save money is with Walmart Pickup.
By not having to go inside and browse through the store, it will prevent you from impulse buying and will keep you on budget.
Finally, you can also become a member of the Walmart+ program.
By joining this program, it will unlock several benefits, such as a savings of $0.05 per gallon on fuel at Walmart and Murphy gas stations.
However, keep in mind that the membership will set you back $12.95 a month or $98 or year, so make sure the rewards are worth the cost.
