There is a new class action settlement involving Walmart and weighted groceries. The pertinent details are below. My standard recommendation applies – If you are affected and choose to participate, file a claim now quickly before you forget, and then… forget. That way you are pleasantly surprised if and when any money eventually arrives.
- Who is eligible? Anyone who purchased weighted meat or bagged citrus at a Walmart in the US and Puerto Rico between 10/19/2018 and 1/19/2024.
- File a claim here: Official Settlement website. Deadline to file is 6/5/24.
- Read more details here: NY Times article (gift article)
- With receipts, you can claim up to $500.
- Without receipts, you can claim between $10 and $25, depending on the number of items you attest to have purchased.
If you’re not interested, that’s fine too. I’ve heard “you’ll only get 17 cents” so many times, and sometimes the payout is indeed quite small, but I’ve also been surprised with hundreds of dollars.
