If you shop at walmart, have you paid for the subscription plan Walmart+?  There is a 30-day free trial and then it's $98 a year with some great sounding benefits. Now that they deliver to my home (13 miles), it sounds even better. You also get 10 cents/ gallon discount on fuel.  Do you like the plan? We're going to wait till we need a grocery delivery to start the 30 day free trial.  I also missed one or two of the Kansas City football games last year because we don't get the Paramount+ Channel.  That's included in the subscription.

Yes, we have subscribed for a couple years. It's totally worth it and very convenient.

Haven't tried it, but they keep sending me offers. I live so close to Walmart that it's easier for me to drive there. 

We already get Paramount plus free plus in another package.

Yes, I have had it for several years and I use it all of the time. Sometimes, I have them deliever my groceries etc, but most of the time I go to Walmart and pick them up in the parking lot.  I did that last night. I buy some heavy things like water and soda. They shop for it all and I pull up and put it in my car. I only live 2 miles from Walmart, so that is easy. It is worth it to me. I have not been inside Walmart in a very long time. I always hated going inside and fighting the crowds in the check-out lines. 

I order my things and pay on the App. If the item has to be shipped, they ship if for free. That happens sometimes when I buy things like over-the-counter medications. 

I started using the service during Covid and I will keep it. Just think, if you don't feel like it, you can have your things delivered. The service is great.

I've had a subscription to Walmart+ since it was first offered. I appreciate the free home delivery option and the competion with Amazon. But what I appreciate most is the opportunity to "scan and go" when shopping in the store. I can simply scan items as I shop, pay at self-serve and I'm out! I love it - definitely worth the $98 a year. (Plus you get Paramount+! Smiley Happy )

I shop Walmart but don't pay for the subscription plan. I order online and pick-up at local store.

@tl98466 I was wondering what it would do if you prefer to shop yourself. Thanks for sharing. I've been sorely tempted a couple times, but I like to do for myself and it's up the street for me so I didn't think I'd get any benefit.

If you are on Social Security, you can get the Walmart+ plan for $49.99. Paramount+ is free. 

 

I've always hated Walmart for social justice reasons. They have changed to some degree.  

 

But! My income is 1/2 of what it was before retiring. I have to bite my tongue and shop where I get the best prices. I get most of my center store stuff at Walmart and I go to another store for meat, produce, and sales/specials.

I have NOT subscribed to the service but in my area, I have found that if I answer the question "how do you want to get your items?" with "Shipping" and then start shopping the app, many of the things I order will wind up being delivered from the local store the same day at no charge as long as the entire order is over $35.  Since I discovered this I have often wondered why anyone would purchase the service unless this is not the policy in all areas.  I am in a rural, small town area and about three miles from the store.

i didn't shop at walmart, for years. Our Priority Health Insurance-that we have to go w/ Medicare, gives us free OTC products. I get $100. a quarter and hubs get $35.00

 

i have used the shop and pick up and if over $35.00 the delivery. I have had things come from local store and delivered within 24hrs. shocker, but love it. We have a newly remodeled super store and i now shop there for more that OTCs.
