ATLANTA - A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showing a user’s surprising experience with Walmart's grocery prices. The user explained in his video that he tried to use the "Reorder All" button for an order he placed two years ago, which originally cost $126.67. To his shock, the same order would now cost $414.39. The video has garnered around one million views, with most comments expressing similar astonishment at the apparent price increase. However, one TikTok user pointed out that some of the items in the original order were discontinued, leading to falsely inflated prices.

Not sure what Walmart is obscuring. If discontinued items were simply not refilled, then the second order was incomplete, and the effective price rise was even higher than reported. If discontinued items were substituted (with higher price items) then the second order filling indeed represents the inflation which is happening, where it is by unit shrinkage, price increase, or product substitution. Personal experience suggests the fed numbers are unrealistically low.

I don't think we have had 300+% inflation (414/126). But it is bad - really bad, and government figures are BS - can we trust it ever again? However, I am also suspicious about letting the 'Re-order All' software blindly fill my order. It gives Walmart a sneaky way to substitute more expensive items.

I've done this many times with my HEB cart. I just went and re-ordered a cart from 09/19, 20 items, $136.80. Now? $191.56. A 40% increase! The dog food alone is 29% higher, and the same load of bread is 60% higher!

I don't pay attention to most prices but one I do, as it is very hard to find - caffeine free Diet Coke. Not many months ago a six pack was $3.98 at Walmart. About two months ago price was $4.98. Just bought a couple of weeks ago and price is now $5.81. And that is when you can find it on the shelf.

I see multiple reasons. Restrictions on natural gas impact fertilizer production, energy production//electriciy, etc. Disasters/fires/explosions at feed lots, poultry farms/ meat processing plants in the laat 3+ years. Chinese have bought farm land and taken it out of production. Some states have legislated against that. Bureaucrats have shut down small family farms arbitrarily calling them wet lands. Hopefully SCOTUS helped us on that one yesterday. Please recall Sundance's articles at Conservative Treehouse about Trump vs Big Ag. Death by 1000 cuts. I could go on.

We should believe everything we see on TikTok (/s). Maybe the problem is with the 'ReOrder All' button, and they need to create a new order themselves rather than letting Walmart place their order. The price of laziness. If an item is too expensive, perhaps they should not order it!

Of course it depends on the items. If it included meat, eggs or some other items that have shot up more than average it could be 3x. Its 100% Brandon's fault, not Walmart's.

Walmart's prices have indeed gone up..... but they are still WAY less expensive than the other stores and supermarkets near me. Automotive parts have REALLY gone up in price, and Automotive PAINT is Stupid Expensive. I used to put the HairSniffer "I DID THAT" stickers on gas pumps. Now I put them next to, and pointing to, the prices on meat at the supermarket. I have never been 'called' on doing this, but if I ever am, I am going to tell them that it is a reminder that the HairSniffer's policies, his War on Energy and War on Food, are the reasons for the high prices, not the producer, wholesaler, or retailer.

We understand that many of Wal Mart's higher costs are due to transportation, higher wages, retail theft, more secure packaging, etc. but when a single bag of chips goes from $3.29 to $5.49, something else is at work here. Locally grown or manufactured products like baked goods, vegetables, eggs and milk are also highly inflated.

Walmart substitutes the unavailable ordered items with the same product in another brand unless you edit the order to “do not replace” the items you ordered. That can sometimes cause a significant difference in your total cost. My guess is that he allowed substitutions, & the discontinued and/or unavailable items were substituted with other name brand items. Plus the natural price changes have occurred due to inflation.

Revelations of marital infidelity are never good news for a politician's image. But when the Daily Mail disclosed last week that Kamala Harris's husband had cheated on his first wife by impregnating their children's blonde nanny, it could hardly have been less helpful to the Democrat nominee. When you're trying to win over the progressive young voters who might decide this year's presidential election by showing them you've got the wokest family in America, that sort of cliched patriarchal behaviour is, as they say, highly problematic.

According to a DHS report reviewed by Breitbart Texas, 1,953 migrants from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were apprehended at the southwest border during the month of July. This brings this year’s total number of PRC nationals apprehended at the border to 35,300. The unofficial report, provided by a source within Customs and Border Protection, shows that apprehensions of migrants from the communist regime increased over 2023 figures when 24,125 were encountered. According to Customs and Border Protection reports, only six Chinese nationals were arrested at the Southwest border during the first month of the Biden-Harris administration, January 2021.
