Alright, buckle up for this one. So, it seems like they’re pulling some pricing shenanigans, you know, the kind that messes with your head. Take ChapStick, for example – they’re slapping a fake markdown from a whopping $9 down to $1.43. And it’s not just lip balm; we’re talking hefty bags that normally cost $5 getting a fake markdown from $35 to $15. It’s like a weird pricing rollercoaster, and Walmart’s in on the ride.
Now, why are they doing this? Well, rumor has it they’re trying to ease us into what they’re calling hyperinflation. Big, several hundred percent price hikes are apparently looming on the horizon, and Walmart’s playing the complicit sidekick.
I was casually checking out prices on jelly, you know, minding my own business. Walmart loves those quirky markdowns, and we all know it’s some kind of psychological trick. But this time, it felt different. Like, they’re not just playing games; they’re prepping us for something big.
Let’s talk peanut butter and jelly – those essential staples we all count on. Before everything went haywire, you could snag a jar of Jif for 99 cents, maybe a buck 99 at most. Now? Brace yourself – it’s a whopping $3.12.
And then there’s this Imgur thing I stumbled upon. Check this out – they’ve crossed out prices that are just plain nuts. I’m talking $8.99 for a 20oz grape jelly, and they’ve “marked it down” to $2.98. Now, let’s be real – when on God’s green earth would a bottle of grape jelly, even a fancy 20oz one, cost nearly 9 bucks? It just doesn’t add up.
So, here’s the kicker – do yourself a favor, hop onto your local Walmart online and look at the prices. You might find more of these head-scratching “markdowns.” Something’s cooking, and it’s not just jelly.
