This November 11, Expansión returned to a Walmart branch and looked for the same products. The results can be classified into these categories:
Same price, same offer
At the Walmart on 15 de Mayo street, in the City of Puebla, the price of an Atvio washing machine with a capacity of 17 kilos was registered, with a discount on an original price of 9,490 pesos. The final price was 7,190 pesos both in the first half of October and at the start of Walmart’s Irresistible End.
Actually, there was no offer. Although during the Irresistible End there are bank promotions and bonuses with certain payment methods.
Same price, bigger discount
A Mabe stove was also found, priced at full price in October, albeit advertised as ‘Low Price’. The same stove was found during Walmart’s Irresistible End at the same list price, but with a discount of 1,600 pesos, to find a final price of 9,990 pesos. In addition, this price is more attractive if the bonuses of payment methods such as Cashi are added. And it is also possible to buy months without interest.
The case of a 55-inch LG brand screen or Smart TV was also found, with a better offer than the one found in October. Here, the Irresistible End did comply with granting better discounts than those used a month before. In addition, we must add bank promotions. The screen originally cost 12,769 pesos, but with the October discount, its final price was 10,999 pesos.
The offer improved during the Irresistible End, when the same screen cost a final price of 9,970 pesos.
Same price, no offer
Cashi makes the difference
Despite the fact that some prices remained unchanged, when making the purchase using the Cashi app the consumer can access an automatic 20% discount. So, for example, a 10,000-peso washing machine will give a 2,000-peso refund in the app that can be used to buy other items in the store.
Of course, one of the employees advised that, when trying to take advantage of this promotion, it is better to pay at the traditional checkout line; do not do it in the automatic collection. Since the cashiers will help the customer activate the benefit on their cell phone.
In conclusion, in general terms, the offers are not that different from those of October, but the prices can be much improved using the Cashi option.
In addition, bank promotions apply to practically all credit cards, providing payment facilities during the Irresistible End.
