A Walmart shopper recently made a video that demonstrates inflation’s effect in a simple and shocking manner. Unlike most fast fashion consumers, the shopper, under the account Sewerlidd on TikTok, ordered again exactly 45 purchased items after two years. The result was shocking: the cost summation had risen by 400% and it had tripple the amount of money he used in 2021.
The Experiment
Sewerlidd posted his order from two years ago and pointed how the order was $126. 67. Inflation interested him to see how the prices have changed so, he decided to use Walmart’s reorder all option and redo the order. The new total? A staggering $414. 39.
- “I feel like I’m going to be sick,” Sewerlidd exclaimed, showing the green screen image capture from the Walmart app. “That is four times more. How the f—, how? Like? What?”
Public Reaction
The video became quite popular rather soon, and many TikTok users commented on the problem of increasing the cost of groceries. Some of the users complaint of being forced to spend more on groceries in similar experience to the one presented in the article, while others complained of a small hike in their amount of spending on groceries.
