Walmart Price Tag FAQs<\/h2>\r\n

What's the lowest the price of an item will go?<\/h3>\r\nMost Walmart shoppers know to look for a price ending with a one (e.g. $7.01) because, for a long time, that was rumored to mean that the item was at its absolute lowest price (aka, its markdown limit). According to Krazy Coupon Lady<\/a>, who called her local Walmart manager to ask, that's not so true. When in doubt, ask the store manager.\r\n

Are all Walmart price tags ending in 97 cents considered \"Everyday Low Prices\"?<\/h3>\r\nIt's not hard to find prices around the store ending in 97 cents. Those specific two digits of the Walmart price tag are called \"Everyday Low Prices\" by both store and buyer, but not all prices that end in 97 cents are Everyday Low Prices. There have been Rollback prices ending in 97 cents as well.\r\n\r\nFor more savings, make sure you know these grocery store secrets<\/a>.\r\n

Do clearance items drop in price until they sell?<\/h3>\r\nYes! The date on a Walmart price tag indicates the last time a specific item was marked down. Items stay at a marked-down price for a set period of time (usually a month or so), and then are marked down every month until the item either sells or hits its markdown limit. If a clearance item is due for another markdown, it may pay to make a second trip to the store to score bigger savings!\r\n\r\nIf multiple trips aren't on the schedule, create a well-organized grocery list<\/a> so you don't forget anything.\r\n

Are Rollback markdowns temporary?<\/h3>\r\n\"Rollback\" is Walmart price tag lingo for sale\u2014look for the red signage on an item's tag. An item price can be rolled back for a number of reasons, like supplier discounts, overstocked inventory and more. Most importantly, Rollback prices are temporary. Prices will usually be rolled back for just a couple of weeks, so grab those items while you can!\r\n\r\nThere's a lot to bargain with when it comes to finding deals like a pro, but hopefully these tips help you save at Walmart. And keep an eye out for these common grocery store tricks<\/a> to avoid spending more than you need to.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
