  "account": "Walmart de Mexico has implemented a 90-day price freeze on more than 4,000 essential items, starting from August 20, 2026, and concluding on November 20, 2026. The price stability initiative, named \"Precios que no se tocan,\" applies to Walmart and Bodega Aurrera stores, as well as their digital channels. The freeze, which runs until November 20, 2026, aims to provide relief to customers on basic goods. Bodega Aurrera, Walmart's discount format for lower-income shoppers, is included in the initiative, making it crucial for budget-conscious consumers. The price freeze covers both physical stores and online shopping, ensuring a wide reach across Mexico. However, Walmart has not published a list of the specific 4,000 items under the freeze. The company also announced a separate effort to reduce working hours starting in January 2027, which is a distinct initiative aimed at improving productivity. Both the price freeze and the working hours reduction reflect Walmart de Mexico's focus on customer value and internal efficiency.",
