SECAUCUS, N.J. (KNWA/KFTA) — CNBC tracked the prices of about 50 products sold in Walmart and found that prices rose as high as 51% following the company’s announcement that it would raise prices following President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
CNBC tracked the prices of different merchandise across apparel, electronics, toys and groceries over seven weeks at Walmart’s Secaucus, New Jersey, location. It found that around a dozen items increased in price.
Many of the items are manufactured in countries that face tariff rates. CNBC notes that even in cases where prices on imported items increased, it remains unclear whether the moves were entirely or partly due to cost increases from tariffs.
Among the list of price increases, a 12-piece pots and pans set jumped 51% from May to July 2025, from $99 to $149. A 3-in-1 travel system rose by 50%, from $199 to $299. However, CNBC found that the price of Great Value brand eggs decreased by 22%, from $3.47 to $2.72.
