The savvy shopper recently posted a video on the app teaching TikTokers a “shopping secret” that he said Walmart “never talks about.”

In the video, Sean – who’s known as @superunsexy on TikTok – said the shopping trick will “help you save money on identical items in the same store.”

Using an example of The Pioneer Woman brand slow cookers that were on a bottom shelf inside of a Walmart store, Sean brought attention to the boxes being in plastic.

He specifically showed one of the 6-quart boxed kitchen appliances named Sweet Rose before turning around to the other side of the same aisle and pointing out one just like it.

Sean’s video focused on a boxed slow cooker by The Pioneer Woman that wasn’t wrapped in plastic, it had all the same markings showing that it’s named Sweet Rose is 6-quarts.

BARCODE

The TikToker explained that, though the plastic on one of the boxed slow cookers really is the only difference between them, there is a reason the products are separated.

“They’re the same items but they have a different barcode,” Sean stated in the video, showing the barcode of the slow cooker that’s covered in plastic.

“The one in plastic is new inventory and it ends in an ‘-08’ and the total price is $30.”

He said the other box, which isn’t in plastic as it sits on the Walmart shelf, is “hidden clearance with a different barcode and the total price is going to be $14.96.”

In the video, the pro-shopper scanned the slow cooker’s box using the Walmart app and showed its lower price.

With nearly 60,000 views on the video, Sean received lots of feedback and appreciation from TikTok users for his tips.

“If it’s in plastic means the stocker was lazy when stocking,” a TikToker commented.

“I work at Walmart and see associates doing that all the time.”

“Thank you for sharing,” someone else said.

Sean replied saying: “Thanks for seeing it!”

Bargain hunters may want to head over to their local Walmart store as another shopper has discovered big savings on multiple items – including a name-brand laptop.

Someone else was able to take advantage of Walmart’s clearance and found a $79.97 footbath for just $20 then her savings only got better.
