Walmart saved money

My mom needed toilet paper. I checked different sites to see how much Quilted Northern is selling for and it seemed like it was the cheapest at Walmart. A 30-mega roll pack was $25.96, which comes to 87¢ a roll.
Just getting the toilet paper wasn’t enough to get free shipping (since there’s a $35 minimum) so I asked her if there is anything else she needs. She did. After adding the stuff to the cart, which was selling for a good price as well, her order now qualified for free shipping.
To take advantage of that I decided to get myself one 7-oz jar of Taster’s Choice coffee. It sells for $13.48, which seems to be the cheapest price I could find. I am almost out of it and I doubt it will go on sale any time soon at any of my stores here. It was best to get it.

I am not a fan of Walmart by any means, but I will admit they are the king of retail, largely because they can offer such competitive pricing.

@lovebuglena Have you ever walked inside a Walmart before? Not only is the scum of the earth shopping there, but they trash the place almost as bad as they do at the dollar stores. And the staff (if you can find them) are rude, insensitive and downright nasty. And if that isn't enough, I was a manager for Walmart for 7 years. I can tell you a lot of horror stories, both from the customer side and from the employer side.

@moffittjc Wow! I’ve never been there because there isn’t one in New York City.

It should arrive tomorrow but my mom won’t be home. And it’s supposed to rain. Hope it doesn’t get wet.

@Ineeddentures On the porch. As long as the rain is not diagonal, it should be OK.

Good thing for the website. It boggles my mind that there is no Walmart in New York City. I would definitely shop there if it was here.

@lovebuglena Yes, you pay $12.95 for unlimited delivery and free shipping. You also get Peacock or Paramount+ for free.

Walmart always surprises me when we shop there. When I go to cash out, I'm expecting the sticker shock, but I'm surprised more often than not to find it less than expected.

That’s awesome. I really wish I had a Walmart here but there isn’t one. I wonder why. Does New York City not allow it?

@MarieCoyle I have never been to Walmart because there isn’t one here, but isn’t the size of Walmart approximately the same as the size of a super Target?

A lot of it is logistics. Just one Walmart in NYC would require a lot of real estate. The city itself does not want one. They think it will hurt too many businesses. Here's an article for you...honestly, I can't imagine how hard it would be to have just one there, it would need to be many, many stores and it doesn't sound like it will ever be possible.

I love online shopping at Walmart. I do that once a week.

For the first time it was delivery from the store and not regular shipping. Wonder why. I don’t remember seeing that when I placed the order. The toilet paper was delivered without any box. And the plastic wrapping on it was partially ripped.

@LindaOHio Do you have to choose that option or is it automatically done?

@lovebuglena They sometimes deliver from a local store if the products are available there.
