Shopping Hacks for Walmart

Walmart’s famous “Rollback” deals are a budget-conscious shopper’s favorite. But, did you know you can save even more at Walmart’s stores and website?

Try these hacks for maximum savings at Walmart.

1. Save big bucks on Walmart’s generic products

Walmart might offer great prices on brand-name products, but save even more when you choose the giant retailer’s own product, like Great Value.

2. Save on delivery with Walmart+

Walmart offers free delivery in as little as three hours on orders of $35+. And with 2,000+ items online, you can get virtually anything on the site, from grocery products to dry goods and much more. Monthly memberships are $12.95+tax, which you might find more worthwhile than similar services.

3. Look out for number 1s

Original prices at Walmart always end in seven. When the retailer first discounts items, the price ends in a five. But, when prices are slashed to their max, they’ll end in a one.

4. Locate items quickly

Walmart stores are huge and it can be tricky to find everything on your list. Use store maps on the Walmart app to find your items fast.

5. Shop early in the day

Some Walmarts restock during the day, but many will fill the shelves overnight. Shopping early in the day will help you snag the best deals while they’re still there for the taking.

6. Compare prices in-store versus online for price match

Sometimes, the prices you’ll find on items at a brick-and-mortar Walmart are higher than those found at Walmart.com. If you show an employee the cheaper, identical item online, though, they’ll be happy to match the price in-store.

7. Save big on prescriptions

Walmart offers great prices on a massive array of products, but it really shines at prescription savings. You can get a 30-day supply of generic medications at Walmart for just $4. If you take a specific medication regularly, save even more with a 90-day supply for only $10. No insurance needed.

8. Use the Walmart app to scan your groceries for quick checkout

Shopping on the Walmart app can help you check out quickly. Just scan the barcode of each item you put into your cart and pay the bill just before you exit.

Use these hacks to save even more money shopping at Walmart.
