Did Walmart just change their app to make clearance shopping harder?
I have had a few items that I have been watching prices on in my “list” in the Walmart app. When I checked this morning, one showed a price drop. So I got ready and headed over to Walmart right around 6 this morning.
I opened the Walmart app to check other prices at Walmart and so many of them were not recognized by the Walmart app.
So, I do believe clearance shopping is going to get harder. They no longer have scanners in store, so if you don’t have a smart phone, you can’t check prices at all in store. And now, the app is even less reliable.
The teal 4-quart cooker showed a price of $4 this morning in my Walmart list:
This jumbo skillet as well as the 2-skillet set has been on an end cap for a while showing $8.88. I would guess that these are part of the college back to school items which I have been saying should be going down soon. They were $4 this morning. I scanned the 2-skillet set in store and it did show the price, but now that I am home it is not recognizing the UPC.
I just checked on Brickseek to see if I could check the price by UPC code, but it is showing as “no product found for the UPC you entered”.
- 6952528109779
- 6952528109724
Just remember that Brickseek is super super slow.
While you can look up the items by SKU number on Brickseek, you still need the UPC to match in store.
- Teal 4qt cooker sku=749030674
- I can’t find the sku for the 2 piece set
Only the teal jumbo cooker was $4 – the red rang up $8.88 at the register. The red one would not scan in the Walmart app, so I took a chance and took it up with me to see. Well, nope – it was still $8.88. So, I had it taken off and put back.
I’m going to have to play around a bit with the Walmart site, the Walmart app, and Brickseek to see if I can come up with a better way to check prices.
Happy shopping!
