Walmart employees say prices are quietly surging on everyday essentials — and they’re posting pictures as they swap out price tags.
In a string of posts across Reddit, self-identified staffers say they’ve seen prices jump as much as 80 percent on popular items.
One photo shows Hasbro’s My Real Baby doll’s price surged from $34.97 to $49.97 — a nearly 43 percent increase.
Another reported that an eight-ounce canister of Great Value cocoa powder nearly doubled in price — from $3.44 to $6.18.
Walmart hasn’t responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
But the employee posts are likely a peek behind the curtain as companies mount their response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
For months, Walmart has been warning that its consumer prices would likely rise.
The giant retailer sources millions of goods from abroad — including importing 60 percent of its goods from China.
