WALMART shoppers will soon find more options at cheaper prices as the retailer renews its inventory of refurbished products.
Most people go to Walmart hoping to save money, but soon prices will drop even more as they expand their used product options.
The Walmart Restored program offers high-quality, refurbished items that have been inspected, tested and cleaned by sellers.
Shoppers can score discounts on all types of tech, including phones, tablets, vacuums, and beauty tools like the Dyson hair straightener.
Previously, there were only two conditions for items, Restored: Premium and Restored.
Walmart has renamed the regular Restored option to Restored: Like New.
The company is also adding Restored: Good and Restored: Fair options.
Premium items are like new and come with a minimum one-year warranty.
Although some items are sold by third-party sellers and have different warranties.
Buyers have 90 days to return a refurbished product if it doesn’t meet their needs.
RIOT IN RETAIL
Customers were upset to learn that Walmart would limit self-checkout to shoppers with 15 items or fewer.
The announcement was met with backlash from customers, who complained that queues were already long without the additional measure.
“They better get more cash registers. Those with some ambition and personality. No wonder I go there as little as possible! It’s an idiot!” commented one customer on a Facebook post.
“They better open up some lanes or they’re going to lose a lot of business,” agreed a second customer.
Several shoppers even said they would buy their groceries elsewhere because of the rule.
“Since they don’t want to put real people at checkouts, that tells me they don’t want customers to buy more than fifteen items at a time,” they wrote.
“I think I will do most of my shopping elsewhere since Walmart doesn’t want me to shop there anymore.”

Many buyers blamed theft as the reason for the move.
Walmart announced that it lost an estimated $3 billion due to self-checkout theft in 2023 alone.
Several stores have faced customer complaints about self-checkout.
After Target implemented a similar 10-items-or-fewer checkout rule, some customers said they would start shopping elsewhere.
