Retail giants Walmart and Sam’s Club on Monday announced sweeping summer discounts on thousands of everyday essentials and seasonal items, a move that quickly drew political attention after President Donald Trump<\/a> said the retailer acted at his administration’s request.<\/p>\n

In a news release Monday, Walmart and Sam’s Club<\/a> said they are introducing nationwide price cuts to help families stretch their dollars during backyard barbecues, vacations and weekly grocery trips.<\/p>\n

The savings span several categories, including groceries, household essentials, outdoor living, toys and apparel.<\/p>\n

At Walmart<\/a>, fresh sweet corn on the cob was slashed to $0.25 each from $0.68, fresh red cherries were cut to $5.63 from $11.18, and 1 lb. fresh 73% ground beef rolls were reduced to $5.94 from $6.74.<\/p>\n

Soda prices also fell steeply, with 24-packs of Coca-Cola products dropping to $9.97 from $14.97, and 24-packs of Pepsi products dropping to $9.97 from $13.97.<\/p>\n

“Customers count on Walmart to deliver the value they need every day, and summer is no exception,” Julie Barber, executive vice president and chief merchant for Walmart U.S. wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

In a Truth Social post on Monday, President Donald Trump praised Walmart as a “truly patriotic company” and said Walmart\u2019s discounts were initiated “at my Administration’s request to celebrate our great Country’s 250th birthday.”<\/p>\n

He highlighted the ground beef price drop specifically, claiming the retailer is dropping the price “by almost 15%, among many other products.”<\/p>\n

“This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A.,” Trump wrote in the post. “My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden<\/a> incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures.”<\/p>\n

“Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels,” he continued. “Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hennion & Walsh Asset Management President and CIO Kevin Mahn analyzes Walmart’s earnings and the state of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-747486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
