New York PostWalmart is slashing prices by up to $1,000 — here are the deals worth shopping

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWalmart is cutting prices by up to one thousand dollars on some items, according to the New York Post, which says you'll love the markdowns.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUp to. Two of the most dangerous words in shopping, Hank.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe piece lists deals worth shopping, but the New York Post only gave us the headline and their cheerful promise, leaving out which item actually drops a full thousand.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA thousand dollars off what? A sofa? A kayak? A shed?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCould be a shed. Your phone bill won't drop that far, but the big stuff might.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the bigger the discount, the bigger the thing you didn't need until Tuesday afternoon.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRight, so a thousand off a thousand-dollar item is still a thousand-dollar item you didn't have a reason to want.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEvery markdown is secretly a receipt, and I want to see who paid for the savings.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou do. It's the one you get at the register.
