A tip: if you want something from Walmart and it’s too expensive on their website, try Googling it and sometimes the item will be listed at Walmart with a cheaper price. I click on the item and order it and save money. I also do the same when something may not be on their website but when I Google it, there it is at Walmart!

I have everything delivered. Yes, there’s a fee and a small fee if you don’t want to tip (they tip the drivers). I save so much money on tipping because I order a lot. Google Walmart+. It’s so nice I can get my groceries, household items, toiletries, etc. delivered and stay in my jammies.

I will never allow someone else to select my meat, produce or dairy.

I like shopping. I always load up on the deals, especially half off sales.

Well Wal-Mart is cheaper overall, Dollar General was cheaper but not anymore as they have really jacked their prices up and smaller sizes...Kroger has went up on everything.

I shop online for everything.
I use Walmart, Kroger and Amazon.

Amazon was great for shopping for grocery when, like Walmart and Kroger they had a $35.00 minimum free delivery rule.

I stopped when they, (amazon) went to a $150.00 minimum!

The problem with online grocery shopping is how limited on products they are!🥴

I have been shopping for over 5 years at Walmart and Kroger and finding myself purchasing the same food products over and over again.

They Never change or add other items!🤨

BTW: Great Value (Walmart) and Kroger Brand have some pretty damn good products and prices!👍

News flash - name brand goods pay rent on the shelves that their products occupy. That’s why store brands are less expensive.

Can’t move.

Way too many friends and I love California.

Just shopping online now for anything that isn’t fresh.

I found my favorite deodorant online and they sold in a bundle of 20. Be a few years before I run out of that.

I have years and years of razors but, I did like tossing a pack or two into my grocery cart from time to time.

Ordered cases of Ramen, rice, soups etc.

I’m going to start looking at fresh online and see who it goes.

“Do you pick up at Walmart, or does someone deliver?

Is there a cost for this service?”

I’m going to jump in because I think Walmart pick up, as much as I hate them as a company, is the best thing ever. No charge as long as you get more than $35, the website is extremely easy to navigate, if they don’t have what you want after you order they’ll substitute, but give you advance notice and you can accept or decline. The pick up process is USUALLY pretty efficient. Meat, however, I get at Sam’s or Costco.

Not really impressed with their veggies but I like their prices.

Have a Food Lion near me and their sales are fantastic.

This.

I don't really enjoy shopping, but I always like to look at what I buy before buying it, especially perishable stuff. I also might see something on sale, or decide to get something that's not on the list.

Add Kroger to the mix, especially for pickup. We have Walmart and Amazon delivered. Husband does in-store Aldi runs. Never use Target.

My husband thinks all the deliveries are extra. They aren’t. It is so much easier to have big packages (toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc) delivered then trying to haul them through the store and do the car unloading/loading thing.

“Unemployment may be low, jobs plentiful, and consumer spending holding up.”

Expect more of this type of gaslighting from the lamestream media through November.

Love Costco for many high-quality food items. Some of their prices are high, so I get them at my Kroger one mile away.

If anyone in your family uses allergy medication like Claritin D-24, thr Costco Kirkland brand is only $4.49 for a 15 pack.

With Walmart, some items can be delivered or shipped. I’ll click on the “To be Shipped” option so I know I’ll receive it in case it’s not available in the store. I don’t order a lot from Amazon because I heard refunds and returns are pure hell. Walmart always refunds immediately and tells me to just keep the item that was delivered or shipped in error or is broken, etc. Chewy.com is the same way. I agree on the Great Value items - I order a lot of Walmart’s brand.
