Here’s the scoop:
- The Deal: A class-action lawsuit alleged Walmart overcharged for certain pre-weighed items like meats and pre-bagged citrus fruits. Walmart denies wrongdoing, but settled to avoid a lengthy court battle.
- Who’s Eligible? Anyone who purchased pre-packaged meat, poultry, pork, seafood, or bagged citrus fruits (think oranges, grapefruit, tangerines) in-store at a Walmart, Supercenter, or Neighborhood Market in the U.S. or Puerto Rico between October 19th, 2018 and January 19th, 2024 is eligible to file a claim.
- How Much Can I Get? The amount you receive depends on whether you have receipts for your purchases.
- With receipts: You can get 2% back on the total cost of the eligible items you purchased, with a maximum payout of $500.
- Without receipts: Don’t fret if you can’t find those old receipts! You can still file a claim and get between $10 and $25 depending on how many eligible items you estimate you bought.
Don’t Miss Out! The deadline to file a claim is June 5th, 2024. That’s coming up soon, so don’t delay!
How to Claim Your Cash:
- Head over to the settlement website (search for “Walmart weighted goods settlement”).
- The site will have detailed instructions on how to file your claim, with separate options for those with and without receipts.
Remember: There’s no cost to file a claim, and beware of anyone contacting you about this settlement and asking for money upfront. It’s a scam!
So, what are you waiting for? See if you’re owed some money from Walmart! And hey, who knows, that $500 could be the perfect excuse for another shopping trip… just maybe skip the pre-weighed items this time
