- Hello friends and welcome back.
If you're new here, hey, hi, welcome.
My name is Kallie Branciforte,
I'm glad that you stopped by.
Let me tell you something about myself.
I like to save money.
In 2017, my husband and I paid off
over $70,000 worth of debt in a year
and that process has
really taught me a lot
about saving money and
how to avoid overspending
and I have a lot of little secrets
that I use now to do that
and today I'm going to share with you
some shopping secrets that you can use
when you are shopping at Walmart.
(mellow music)
Secret number one is when
items get marked down
for clearance, this happens
on the first five days
of the month.
So it's very rare to
see a mid bump markdown.
Usually all the markdowns are gonna happen
the first five days of every single month
and typically, they
continue to get marked down
every single month until they are sold.
Occasionally, they will skip months
but in general, that
is the sort of process
that you follow.
So shopping on like the
fifth or the sixth day
at Walmart you're most likely going to see
recently marked down clearance items.
Secret number two is
that Walmart corporate
will tell local Walmart
stores what items to mark down
but at the end of the day,
it's actually the local
store managers discretion
on how much it's going
to mark those items down.
So the markdown of the same item
can vary from store to store
and I'm actually going to
be sharing another secret,
I think it's secret number
seven on how you can identify
if you're getting one of the best prices
from your local Walmart.
Secret number three
is how you can get free Walmart gift cards
just by grocery shopping,
like at whatever grocery store
you grocery shop at.
Let me play a little scenario for you.
You're at the grocery store,
you just finished grocery shopping,
you get your mask on,
everyone's six feet apart,
finally you're done, they
hand you the receipt,
what do you do with it?
You crumple it up in a
little ball and you throw
it at the bottom of the bag, right?
And then eventually a
couple of weeks later,
like it makes it's way into
the trashcan at some point.
Well, I know more my friends
because this bad boys
know cash money, thanks to
an app called Fetch Rewards.
The app partners with tons of
brands which give you points.
It literally just takes seconds,
all you do is scan your
receipt, redeem points
and then spend a reward on
things like Walmart gift card.
And then gift cards are
not just for Walmart.
You can get them to all
sorts of different places,
target best buy Starbucks, Home Depot
but you know since this
is a Walmart video,
you can get Walmart gift cards as well.
And the reason I love this app so much
is because it's seriously just so simple.
You don't have to scan barcodes
of all of your individual items,
you just download the app, sign up
and then start scanning your receipts
and you will start redeeming
points for products
that you've bought.
Then you take those points
and you get free gift cards.
Fetch also now offers you receipt scanning
since so many of us are doing
our online food shopping right now.
You can scan your receipts
from places like Amazon
or Walmart and then grab
the rewards there as well.
All you have to do is connect your email
and then it'll scan your
email for those you receipts.
And what's really cool is
the fetch was cool enough
to sponsor this videos so I
have a promo code for you guys
when you download the
app, it's completely free
to download and to use,
use this promo code right here
and you're gonna get your
first 3000 points for free.
This is a limited time
offer and it is specifically
for viewers of this video so
make sure you take advantage
of it before it expires, I
will have all the information
in the description box down below.
So before you crumble up and throw away
your grocery receipts, make
sure you download Fetch,
you scan them really
quick, you get your points
and you get some free Walmart gift cards
or gift cards to wherever you want them.
Secret number four is really
may be more of a clarification
than it is a secret, but that
is clarifying the difference
between a rollback price
and a clearance price.
Now rollback prices are
temporary price decreases
and they typically lasts
between four and 10 weeks.
A rollback price is not permanent,
that price is going to go
back up to the original price.
The clearance price is
marked down and that's it,
it's not going back up and
like I mentioned before,
it's likely going to
continue to get marked down
every single month until it sells.
Secret number five is
just because something
is on a rollback, it
doesn't mean it's actually
like the best price around.
So don't fall into that trap of assuming
just because is a rollback,
you're getting the best deal.
Secret number six, we are
moving on to two hands.
This is getting tricky.
We'll see if I can keep up,
is that a couple of years ago Walmart
has made returning items so much easier
which I love because I am
really bad at returning stuff.
Seriously, raise your hand
if you've ever ended up
owning something that
you didn't really need
because you forgot and/or
were too lazy to return it.
So I love the Walmart has
made this process easier.
So you do need the Walmart app to do this,
free app to use it just
like the Amazon app.
You should definitely get it
because some of the secrets
that are coming after
this, you're gonna need it.
So it allows you to start
the return from your phone,
go through all the steps
and all the process that you need to
and then when you get to the store,
all you have to do is go
up to the store associates,
they're gonna scan a QR
code that was generated
and your return is complete.
Secret number seven is something
called Walmart Hidden Clearance.
Now this builds off of secret number two,
which was where corporate
will tell a store
to mark down a price but
ultimately that store manager
has the discretion of what
they're going to mark it down to
which means that prices of clearance items
vary from all different stores.
But it is a little known
secret to Walmart insiders
which you are now are because
you're watching this video
that sometimes the price is
reduced in the computer system
but the sticker on that
product has not been updated
to reflect that low price.
So the price may say that the item is $25
but in the computer it's
actually marked down
to $19 or to $15.
So let me walk you through
how you can use the secrets.
You need to be in a specific
Walmart store and you need
to have the Walmart app
downloaded on your phone
and then you need to set your
location on your Walmart app
to show the store that you are in.
This is very important
because like I said,
the clearance price varies
from store to store.
So you need to set it for
the store that you're in
then you can use the barcode reader
to quickly scan the price of an item
and see if the price
is actually set lower.
Okay, so here you saw these
boots were marked at $7
but when I scan them, I see
they're actually only $5.
Here's another example,
looking at car seats,
this car seat is marked
as $149 in the store
but just with a really quick scan,
I can see it's actually only $49.
That's $100 cheaper
than the display price.
Another random product I decided to check
with some vitamins, here
they're marked down to 15
but when I scan them,
I see they're marked actually
even lower at only $9.
And now finally, if you're
wondering this is really cool,
what do I do if I find a
hidden Walmart clearance item?
How do I get this lower price?
All you have to do is go to the cashier
and checkout as normal
because the items price
was updated in the computer system
when it scans,
it's gonna scan at that lowest price.
Now there's literally
like an entire culture
around Walmart hitting clearance.
There is people who have Instagram handles
completely dedicated to it
because it is sort of a game
you could spend like an hour
to two hours just scanning
stuff at random at Walmart
trying to figure out
what's on hidden clearance.
So if you really want to get into it,
you can check like Walmart
clearance the hashtag
on Instagram and you can
sort of see what other people
are showing up as hidden clearance.
But the way that I suggest doing it,
it's just when you're sort of
shopping around specifically,
if you're maybe comparing
two things or you happen
to notice that there is the same product
but there's an older
model and a newer model
that's times that older model
is gonna be the lower price
or maybe something is unclear
and you're wondering if it's actually
even a lower clearance product point.
It literally takes seconds
to scan it really quick
and see if it's a lower price
and that will help you decide
if that's the one you want to buy or not.
Secret number eight
while we are on the topic
of the Walmart app is
that I always suggest
you pull up the app when you're in store
and just really quickly cross
reference the online price
of that product as opposed
to the in store price.
And I'm not saying you're
gonna do this for everything
you're buying like a bag of chips,
you probably not gonna price check it
but if you're buying
anything, that's like,
a slightly bigger ticket item,
you're gonna spend more than $30 on it,
take out the Walmart app
and check how much the price
of that item is on
walmart.com and the reason is
because walmart.com does price matching
against other stores but
in Walmart stores do not.
So walmart.com often has to be
a little bit more competitive
with prices because it has to compete
with all the other retailers pricing.
But also sometimes the opposite is true
in certain rollbacks or
prices are cheaper in store.
So here is an example of a
vacuum for 44.88 in store
and online and 49.88 or this
blender for $17 in store
but online it's $25.
Basically what I mean is
sometimes it's just nice
to do a quick check and make sure
you're getting the best price.
All right, secret number
nine while we were talking
about buying from walmart.com
as opposed to in store
because sometimes you
will get the better prices
at walmart.com is that you
may not know that Amazon
is not the only one who
offers free two day shipping.
Walmart offers free two day shipping
and next day shipping on a ton of products
and it's totally free,
you don't have to have like
a prime membership to do it,
you just need to be spending at least $35
on that purchase and you can
easily see what items qualify
for the free two day
shipping as you're scrolling
as you're browsing through walmart.com,
it's super clear on the browse page
which items have that free shipping.
Secret number 10, we're
gonna stick with shopping
at walmart.com is that you can easily add
a quick, quick glance see
everything that is on clearance
on walmart.com by simply
just typing clearance
into the browse feature
at the top of Walmart
and then obviously you're
going to get like everything
that is clearance from every department
but they make it really
easy to filter down
for specific departments
so if you're looking for baby stuff,
you're looking for clothes or whatever,
it's just a really great trick to know
if you just want to see really quick
what they have on clearance
in different departments.
All right, secret number 11,
another walmart.com secret
and our final secret of this video
is that if you've ever
shopped walmart.com,
you probably not alone if
you've been a little confused.
I've been a little confused
shopping walmart.com
because there's so much stuff
and sometimes it seems
like there's too much
and it gets a little
bit money and confusing
and the secret you need
to know is that that's
because not everything on walmart.com
is sold through Walmart.
Walmart has something
called marketplace sellers
which basically allows
them to sell like millions
and millions of more products
from other sellers on their website.
When you make the
purchase, Walmart is handy
at handling the financial security,
they're doing the payment
processing for you
but all of the customer service,
the shipping and handling, the returns,
all of that is on who the
marketplace seller is.
Now to spot if you're
actually buying something
from Walmart or not,
it's really, really easy.
You can simply see the seller
right on the browse page.
So if you take a look
right here, I don't know,
let's look at like baby strollers.
As we scroll through
here, we can see like most
of them are sold by Walmart.
We can see they're offering
the free two day pickup
but then you'll see
that we have some other ones in here too.
Okay, so as we're scrolling, we can see
this costway stroller
is sold from a cost way,
it's specifically calls it
out right on the browser page
and a little further down we
see another costway stroller
as well as a verb ventures seller as well.
So it's really easy to see what products
are sold from marketplace sellers.
Now the secret is not to
say that buying something
from a marketplace seller is bad,
it just something that you'll want to note
especially if it's like
a bigger ticket item
that if you're buying
from marketplace seller,
you're not getting all
the Walmart benefits
in the sense that they are
not doing the shipping for you
if you need customer service,
it's not gonna be the Walmart
and if you return it, it's
not gonna be through Walmart.
All right, you guys that does it,
those are my Walmart shopping secrets,
little secrets and tips that I use
to save even more at Walmart
or just make shopping
at Walmart more efficient
and more effective.
If you learned at least one new secret
about Walmart that you didn't know,
make sure to give this
video a thumbs up and again,
don't forget that if you
want to use Fetch Rewards,
I mean, you're basically
getting free gift cards
for grocery shopping
and we all grocery shop,
don't forget that I have that free promo
which is going to give you your
first 3,000 points for free.
So I will put that
into the description
box down below for you.
As always, thank you so,
so much for stopping by
and watching, I hope you
are having a fantastic day
and I will see you all
in my next video.
