A Cuban living in the United States has shared a clever technique on TikTok to save money while shopping at Walmart, quickly gaining popularity among the Hispanic community.
"Folks, let me show you a little trick," begins the user @yesiu54 in the video. "You get to Walmart, connect to Walmart's Wi-Fi, go to where the product label is, scan the label—you must connect to Wi-Fi first—and it will show a different price than what's on the sticker," explained the young man in the clip, which has sparked the interest of thousands of viewers.
His demonstration reveals that some items offer a lower price when scanned with the Walmart app, allowing shoppers to take advantage of discounts not visible on the shelves.
Many Cubans on social media praised the creativity of this hack, which is a testament to the "Cuban ingenuity" that people often develop to cope with life's expenses, even outside the island.
However, some users cautioned that the app's price isn't always honored at the register and can vary depending on the store location or inventory.
The video has garnered thousands of views on TikTok, with numerous comments applauding the Cuban's resourcefulness. "Saving is all about knowing where to look," commented one follower.
