Unlock the secret to smart shopping with this genius Kmart trick!

Shopping at Kmart can be akin to a treasure hunt, with the potential to uncover viral must-haves or budget-friendly alternatives to high-demand items.

It's a place where you can fill your cart with goodies, but sometimes the lack of visible pricing can turn your shopping spree into a guessing game.

However, savvy shoppers have discovered a clever trick that can transform your Kmart experience, ensuring you never have to lug items around for a price check again.



The thrill of finding a bargain at Kmart is undeniable, but the frustration of unmarked prices can dampen the excitement.

Fortunately, a simple yet ingenious tip has been circulating among shoppers, making it easier to uncover the cost of those remarkable bargains.

This method, shared by eagle-eyed bargain hunters on social media, involves taking a photo of the barcode of the item you're curious about.

When you're ready to check the price, simply present the photo to one of the in-store scanners.

This method is particularly handy for bulky or heavy items or when you're juggling several unpriced products.



Many Kmart shoppers confirmed the effectiveness of this method, noting that Kmart's scanners can indeed read barcodes from images.

For optimal results, it's still recommended to scan the actual item when possible

While the photo trick is clever, there's an even more straightforward solution for price-savvy shoppers: the Kmart app and website.

It might seem like common sense, but searching for an item online can sometimes lead to confusion, especially when trying to match the in-store product with its digital counterpart.



To eliminate any guesswork, use the barcode-scanning feature within the Kmart app (located in the top right corner) for instant access to the product and its price.

Alternatively, you can enter the SKU number from the product's barcode into the Kmart website's search bar for accurate results.

Here’s how to search using the Kmart app barcode feature:
