Walmart slashing prices of summer barbecue staples
- On Monday, President Donald Trump claimed Walmart lowered prices at his administration's request to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday, though the retailer's statement omitted any mention of government involvement.
- Walmart described the price reductions as a seasonal strategy, noting many savings were already in place before President Trump's social media post.
- Seasonal rollbacks include 73% lean ground beef at $5.94, down from $6.74, and 24-packs of Coca-Cola or Pepsi marked down to $9.97 from $14.97.
- Sam's Club stores are simultaneously marking down more than 250 items, including Member's Mark beef hot dogs at $10.86, down from $12.96.
- These aggressive discounts underscore Walmart's role in the affordability battle as shoppers manage inflation that climbed 4.2% over the past year, giving Trump a household-name example for his price argument.
