I’m a Walmart insider – the secret code employees won’t tell you that will show you if you’re really getting a good deal

STORES like Walmart and Costco are known for having some decent bargains, but there’s a way to find out exactly how good.

According to the experts at Tip Hero, there is a way to find out exactly how good of a deal you are getting in stores like Walmart.

“There’s a hidden markdown language used by popular retailers to communicate to employees what items are being discounted,” the experts explained.

They clarified: “Pricing doesn’t always follow this format as retailers are constantly testing new prices.”

The pricing structure uses the last digit of the amount to inform employees of the reduction amount.

Tip Hero reported that prices ending in 7c amounts are the original retail value.

So if you’re in Walmart and see an item priced at $9.97, that product has probably just hit the shelf.

When products become discounted at Walmart, the first markdown will see them ending in 5c amounts.

For example, a product that is $9.95 is likely to have been marked down once.

And for the final markdown, products will be priced at an amount ending in 1c.

So according to the experts at Tip Hero, if an item is $9.91, then it is a safe bet that product is due for clearance.
