How To Check Prices At Walmart |
Technique #1: There's an App for That (Seriously, There Is)
We all know Walmart practically invented convenience. And guess what? They've got an app for that too! The Walmart Mobile App is your secret weapon. Just download it, fire it up, and... SHAZAM! You're a walking price scanner. Just point your phone's camera at that mysterious box of cereal, and bingo! The app will reveal its deepest, darkest secret (its price). Warning: This may lead to uncontrollable giggles as you discover that box of name-brand flakes is actually cheaper than the generic kind.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.![]()
But wait, there's more! The app can also tell you if your local Walmart has that super cute throw pillow you've been eyeing. Because, let's be honest, what's price patrolling without a little retail therapy on the side?

Technique #2: Become a Barcode Whisperer (No Weird Powers Required)
For those times when your phone battery decides to take a siesta, fear not! Walmart equips most of their products with those handy little zebra-striped barcodes. Channel your inner archaeologist and scan, scan, scan with the in-store barcode checkers. They'll display the price in all its glory (or lack thereof, depending on your grocery list). Bonus points if you can scan an item so fast you look like a barcode-reading ninja.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.![]()
Word to the Wise: While some folks swear by third-party barcode scanner apps, these prices might not always match what's ringing up at the register. Stick to the official Walmart app or the in-store scanners for ultimate accuracy.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.![]()
Technique #3: Befriend an Associate (They're People Too, You Know)
Let's face it, sometimes the best deals hide in the clearance aisles, disguised amongst forgotten toys and slightly-bruised bananas. But how do you find these hidden treasures? Enter the Walmart Associate. These friendly folks are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to price cuts and hidden gems. Strike up a conversation (about the weather, their day, that awesome sweater they're rocking - anything!), and you might just score some insider info on the latest clearance sale. Remember: A little kindness goes a long way, and who knows, you might even make a new friend in the process (someone who can point you towards the cheapest paper towels - win win!).
There you have it, folks! With these handy techniques, you'll be a Walmart price patrol pro in no time. Remember, knowledge is power, and knowing the price of that gallon of milk is the first step to conquering your grocery list (and maybe even snagging that giant inflatable pool float you've been secretly wanting). So, grab your phone, channel your inner detective, and Happy Price Patrolling!
