5. Dairy
Considering the price, Walmart is not an ideal place to buy cheese and dairy products, even though it would be convenient since it’s the place where you can find anything you want in just one trip.
“They may seem like a good price, but you can find a better price at warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club, or even at your local grocery store when there’s a sale,” notes Zakaria.
6. Electronics
Bodge recommends to always do your research before rushing into buying electronics from Walmart, even if it may seem like a good deal.
“While Walmart is very competitive when it comes to pricing of electronics, they don’t always have the lowest price,” Bodge says. “Prior to investing in a 4K TV or a Google Home device, take a look at the same item at competitors, like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, or Newegg. You just might find a lower price elsewhere.”
7. Cables & Chargers
“I find that many tech accessories, like cables and chargers, are priced better on Amazon,” Bodge says. “But if you’re looking for phone cases, the prices are comparable.”
“Although you can find great deals on various electronics such as video game consoles and cameras at Walmart, skip the accessory section. Items like HDMI cables, phone chargers, and even phone cases can be found for much less online via sites like Amazon or eBay,” says savings expert Andrea Woroch.
8. Greeting cards
Even though greeting cards may seem insignificant, they can really add up, that’s why Woroch recommends buying them from other places.
“Greeting cards are cheaper at the dollar store compared to Walmart, where you can snag two for $1,” according to Woroch.
