Guatemalan content creator @shamy_leth has sparked a buzz online with her video revealing a money-saving strategy in the United States: shopping at Winco Foods. Her clip, which has garnered over 25.8K likes, showcases her advice: "Save a lot of money in the U.S. by visiting this store. You’ll find everything here at very low prices: pico de gallo, pre-cut fruit, ready-to-eat salads you can just add lemon to, and even granadilla that's ready to eat, no peeling required!"
She further pointed out that Winco Foods offers more affordable prices compared to other supermarkets: "Think of it as a Walmart at half the price. This is the grocery haul for three people, lasting approximately two weeks, and the total cost was $196.75."
Despite her clear recommendation, user comments were quick to appear, revealing a split in opinions. Many expressed gratitude for the tip, while others remained skeptical. One follower remarked, "I love this store, it's so cheap, I've saved a lot on groceries that would cost more at Walmart," whereas another confirmed, "Just remember, they only accept cash and/or debit cards, nothing else."
Mixed Reactions and Criticisms
Criticism wasn't far behind. One user argued, "Pico de gallo for $5 when making it yourself costs $2 tops," and another added, "Cheap often means costly in the end. Plus, the less human handling, the better the food." Some even compared prices: "All the prices I saw looked the same as Walmart," and raised concerns about its availability: "It's sad that it's not in every state" or "The nearest one is 570 km away, not worth it."
Shamy concluded her video with enthusiasm, highlighting the diverse range of products available at Winco Foods. However, it's evident that this topic has social media users divided—some see it as a genuine saving opportunity, while others question if it's the most economical choice for grocery shopping. What do you think? Is it worth a try?
