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.

Joe Biden got bulldozed by Donald Trump in the first debate. We all saw it happen in real-time. And the polling after this spectacle will be brutal for the Biden camp. As we start the new week, 72 percent think Biden doesn’t have the mental capability to serve as president; 86 percent thought he was too old to run for a second term last winter. Even reporters wonder how one can imagine securing another term when three-fourths of the country thinks you’re too brain-fried to run the country.

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley opined at the Hill saying that Friday’s Supreme Court decision holding that the most severe law cited in January 6 prosecutions does not apply to riots or protests effectively means that the oft-repeated accusations of “insurrection” have been downgraded to mere trespassing. As Breitbart News reported this past Friday, the Supreme Court decided in Fischer vs. U.S. that the “Department of Justice had taken too broad a view of [18 U.S.C.] 1512(c)(2), a law that prohibits destruction of evidence but was not intended for protests.”

Projection is blaming someone else for your own bad behavior. We saw a classic case of projection in Thursday’s presidential debate, when President Biden — who is overseeing annual budget deficits of $2 trillion — asserted that his predecessor, Donald Trump, added more to the federal debt than anyone else. It’s part of the latest leftist argument: that if Trump wins the election, he will run deficits twice as large as Biden would. Debate moderator Jake Tapper joined the chorus of federal finance falsehoods when he claimed Trump had “approved $8.4 trillion in new debt,” while Biden’s actions will increase the debt by (merely) $4.3 trillion over a decade.

We will undoubtedly ask, in years to come, how the issue of defence played no part in the 2024 General Election. There was just a momentary spat when the Conservatives boasted that they would increase defence spending from its current level of 2.3 per cent to 2.5 per cent of GDP ‘by 2030’, while Labour said they would reach 2.5 per cent ‘when conditions allow’. The latter is a meaningless statement, but the Conservatives’ claim is hardly a triumph of resolve. And it is extraordinary that the greatly increased likelihood of Donald Trump being (re)elected President, following the cruelly public exposure of Joe Biden’s incapacity in their so-called debate last week,

Joe Biden’s Thursday night debate performance was unspinnable. The only way to cope is to pretend it didn’t happen. The debate was on CNN, which was friendly territory for Democrats, with debate rules the Biden team thought would benefit them. Instead, it blew up in their faces, with Joe Biden being kicked in his dentures for 90 minutes in a national political slaughter where Trump didn’t need to do much heavy lifting. That’s one of the most damning aspects—all Trump had to do was not bully Biden and deliver his lines without entering a brain fog. The former president did that, but Biden failed miserably.
