Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

As the old saying goes, let them eat cake. If you or a loved one has to plan for a wedding and you are looking for a way to shave a few bucks off your costs, there is a simple way to do that. In fact, many of us would have never considered this method if not for the TikTok that you are about to see.

Courtney is a finance guru and a wedding expert and she knows how to make sure that you get the most bang for your buck.

“Wedding cakes are really expensive,” she says in a TikTok post. “Now factor in inflation and all the supply chain issues — prices are going up for those bad boys.” This is not the only video where she addresses the phenomenon.

The follow-up video is even better because she provides us with a viable alternative for our wedding cakes that we may not have considered otherwise.

Wal-Mart is a better option than you might have thought and this becomes clear when she heads to the website. She starts cycling through all of the pictures on the website and is stunned by what she sees. “I really didn’t believe it myself!” she exclaims.

We are right there with you, sister. It is hard to buy into the fact that Wal-Mart has so many delicious cakes for your big day. Most of us associate Walmart with quicker, cheaper options and that is understandable. The idea that they could help cater one of the most special days of your life totally blew us away, too.

Courtney found the most majestic cakes to share. The three-tiered cakes that she sees are amazing and the decorations are even better. “Are you kidding with the icing like that? These flowers? It’s stunning!’ she said, with admiration in her voice. “There are so many options,” Courtney continued. “I can’t be the only one that didn’t know Walmart sold cakes.”

The best part? The cakes she was looking at start at just $68!

Additionally, one of her followers provided a review that we are more than willing to put our trust in. “I would also like to add that Walmart’s cake is way better than the expensive bakery cakes I tried that were hundreds of dollars,” they said in the comments.
