The retail calendar is a rigid machine, and Walmart operates strictly by its gears. While the store offers everyday low prices, specific categories see massive price fluctuations based on the time of year.

Shoppers who lack patience often walk into pricing traps during these four weeks. To maximize your purchasing power, simply wait until the calendar flips to March for these four categories.
