Walmart shoppers urged to visit store during two hour window when prices are up to 50 percent cheaper

Walmart shoppers urged to visit store during two hour window when prices are up to 50 percent cheaper

Daily Mail​6 hours ago

A shopping expert has revealed the exact time to save up to 50 percent — but you'll have to set your alarm.
Danny Seliger, who shares savings hacks on TikTok, revealed a little-known trick that could help Walmart customers slash their grocery bills — but it only works between 7.00 and 9.00am.
He said Walmart shoppers can score discounts of up to 50 percent if they show up early in the morning during the store's daily 'markdown window.'
'Every day certain Walmart employees are tasked with marking down perishable items to clear space for the next round of inventory,' Selinger said in a TikTok video.
'They mark stuff down like fresh meat, produce, bakery items, and ready-to-go food.'
These deals are marked with yellow clearance stickers and typically disappear by noon.
Selinger noted that these are usually sold out by noon, and shoppers who arrive in the morning get first pick.
The trick can apply to all Walmart items that are part of the early morning markdown, including products that may be part of the avalanche of price hikes.
The largest retailer in the world, Walmart is known for offering everyday low prices on popular items.
However, costs have been changing rapidly due to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
Walmart issued a warning about price hikes last year shortly before Trump's tariff plans took effect.
Shoppers' worst fears were confirmed after Walmart raised prices last month, and employees leaked photos of 80 percent price jumps on items.
While the chain is the largest employer in the US, the cost changes forced the store to eliminate about 1,500 jobs.
Besides price changes and job cuts, Walmart has been busy working on revamping more than 1,400 stores.
About $1.6 billion of its $9 billion investment is being used to remodel 650 US locations this year, many of which are in Texas and California.
The company will also be opening 40 to 45 fuel stations this year, bringing its convenience store count to around 460.
The products are typically available for 30 to 50 percent discounts until 12:00pm
Walmart is not the only retailer to have suffered from Trump's tariffs.
Reddit users revealed that product prices at Target drastically jumped around the same time Walmart items did.
Macy's also raised prices on select products and is reducing its reliance on Chinese suppliers.
E-commerce giant Amazon angered several people after announcing it would include the cost of tariffs on product price tags.
Amazon's price change plan was announced just a few months before the company's annual summer Prime Day event.

Social Security fund set to run out in 2034, one year earlier than estimated

Social Security is on track to run out by 2034, one year earlier than previously estimated, according to a new report. Social Security funds for retirees and survivors of deceased workers are set to run out in 2033, according to this year's annual report by the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees. But funds for retirees and survivors could last until 2034 if Congress combines the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Fund with another fund for disability insurance. Payments won't stop once the funds run dry. Instead, monthly benefits will be cut by 19 percent, the trustees estimate. That means the average retired worker — who currently receives an average monthly payment of $2,002.39 — could see their payment drop down to $1,621.94. Last year, the trustees estimated the combined funds could last until 2035. The trustees attributed the change in their estimate to the Social Security Fairness Act, a bill passed under President Joe Biden with bipartisan support. The law, which went into effect in January, boosted benefits for more than three million retirees. More Americans are also filing for Social Security benefits this year. From January to May 2025, the program saw a 17 percent spike in enrollments compared to the same period last year, CBS News reports. As a result, an estimated four million new beneficiaries are expected to enroll by the end of 2025. The Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund is also set to run dry in 2033, three years earlier than the trustees previously projected. This fund helps cover stays in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices for Social Security recipients over 65 or those on disability insurance. After 2033, the fund will only be able to pay 89 percent of benefits. A federal official told Axios that hospital usage has soared in 2024 following a drop-off at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. "Was that foregone services from the Covid-related experience…or is there some broader change in terms of how health care is being dispensed?" the official said. "Obviously something we will continue to monitor." Advocacy groups for Social Security beneficiaries say Congress must act fast to protect beneficiaries. "Congress must act to protect and strengthen the Social Security that Americans have earned and paid into throughout their working lives," AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan told CBS News. "More than 69 million Americans rely on Social Security today and as America's population ages, the stability of this vital program only becomes more important,' Minter-Jordan added. Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano, who was sworn into his position last month, says lawmakers are committed to strengthening the program. 'Congress, along with the Social Security Administration and others committed to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, must work together to protect and strengthen the trust funds for the millions of Americans who rely on it – now and in the future – for a secure retirement or in the event of a disability,' Bisignano said in a statement on Wednesday.

Just-launched Trump Mobile mocked over ‘Gulf of Mexico' coverage map gaffe: ‘Priceless'

Trump Mobile, the newly launched line of smartphones produced by the Trump Organization for 'real Americans,' has become a target for Internet mockery yet again after social media users realized its coverage map featured the Gulf of Mexico - not the Trump-preferred 'Gulf of America' Eagle-eyed users were quick to point out that a coverage map for the American-made smartphones labeled the body of water off the coast of Louisiana as the Gulf of Mexico. 'The new Trump Mobile coverage map was released today. It features the Gulf of Mexico!' one person wrote on X, sharing both screen grabs and video evidence of the gaffe. 'Trump family literally deleted an entire page off their grifting website because it showed Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of America,' one person wrote along with a laughing crying emoji. Another chimed in to mock the situation, writing, 'Trump probably does not remember by now that he renamed it.' 'They keep forgetting their own b*******.' another added. Another social media user jibed: 'It will always be the Gulf of Mexico. This is culture war BS.' The business, run by President Donald Trump's eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, promptly pulled its coverage map after social media users started to point out the discrepancy in names for the body of water. In a January 2025 executive order, Trump made the controversial decision to rename the body of water the 'Gulf of America,' which was adhered to by Google and Apple Maps, despite backlash. According to Wired, the coverage map initially shared by Trump Mobile resembled that used by Ultra Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator owned by T-Mobile. The map was taken down hours after the official launch of Trump Mobile, with the website taking users to a '404 not found' message. The Trump Mobile phones are set to be available in August for $499, though experts have warned they may end up costing much more if they do end up being manufactured in America, as promised. Phone plans for the T1 Phone will cost $47.45 a month and will include call centers based in the U.S. and phones made in America, according to the Trump Organization. The company's launch comes after Trump has piled pressure on tech giant Apple to move its manufacturing base to the U.S. at the risk of feeling the wrath of his sweeping tariffs, introduced on so-called Liberation Day.
