Walmart Workers Share Photos of Price Increases
Walmart announced plans to raise prices on some products in May as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Another product on the Walmart site that spiked in price was a left-handed fishing reel. It rose from $57.37 to $83.26 from April to May, a jump of 45 percent, with a post on Reddit showing the two price stickers. Aisle Gopher's price history says that the price of the reel was $51.12 on March 14.
Another Reddit post showed an increase in the price of cocoa powder from $3.44 in May 2024 to $6.18 in April 2025.

Newsweek has reached out to Walmart outside of regular working hours via an online contact form.
Lol gotta love how Newsweek doesn't even have someone they can reach out to at Walmart. At this point Walmart's PR department is probably an intern with a microsoft copilot account since no matter what shitty thing they do nothing happens to them and people still shop there.
To be fair, it's also because Newsweek is a joke of a magazine now that doesn't have real journalists with those sorts of contacts anymore.
Most people/towns have no other option, All the big corps have taken down anything local, over the last 20-30 years.
That’s true, I should have specified that for those with a choice on where they shop. But even in towns and cities where there are major retail/grocery alternatives, Walmarts tend to thrive.
Even if it was a local small business, they would be increasing price. Did you think they can absorb 30% tariff when their margin is single digits?
