Walmart customers may notice their shopping trips are getting more expensive. The retail giant, which warned back in May that Donald Trump’s tariffs would push costs higher, is now seeing price hikes across several categories.
According to a recent CNBC analysis, prices on some household staples at Walmart’s Secaucus, New Jersey store have gone up over the last two months. Researchers tracked about 50 products, from clothes and electronics to toys and groceries. Around a dozen of those items — including a frying pan, jeans, and a car seat — saw price increases during that time.
Most of the products that jumped in price are imported from countries facing steep tariff rates. While not every price change can be directly tied to tariffs, the trend suggests costs are rising as duties on foreign-made goods start to take effect.
Walmart has not said exactly which items will continue to see price hikes, but the chain previously warned that higher tariffs would impact a wide range of essentials.
