Ways to save money at Walmart
Walmart is known for its low prices and affordable products. But, how can you save even more? We have already detailed how to get free Walmart gift cards, so let’s explore smart shopping tactics to get the most for your budget and save even more money at Walmart.
Shop Rollbacks and Clearance
Rollbacks, or temporary price reductions on items, are how Walmart signals that an item is on sale. This cost-savings tool for customers is important since Walmart generally keeps its prices consistent and doesn’t offer as many coupons, promotions, or sales events as other retailers do. So while you can stack manufacturer’s coupons or other promotional discounts alongside Walmart’s everyday low prices, a rollback price is often one of the better prices on an item you can achieve.
Walmart shoppers also love it when the store puts items on Clearance. Some Walmart locations have entire aisles dedicated to clearance items that can be found at deeply discounted prices — liquidation prices. But whether there is a specific Clearance aisle or not, Walmart’s clearance products have a bright yellow tag that displays just how much you’ll save.
Save on Shipping
Walmart offers free 2-day shipping on orders greater than $35, saving you time and gas if you can collect enough eligible items to include in one shipment.
Walmart App
Walmart’s App goes beyond walmart.com to showcase essential savings and help you find all of the best products at your local store or available for shipping.
The app’s coupon page is a plentiful resource for finding out what is on sale at your local store. The app also allows you to search by category to find Rollbacks, or items that have temporarily dropped in price.
Also, it has a Savings Spotlight section, which highlights high-profile or in-demand items currently on sale.
And, Flashpicks direct you to items that are on sale for 50% off or more.
Walmart+
Walmart+ is the retailer’s subscription service that gives participants fuel discounts, unlimited delivery and free same-day grocery delivery, in-store smartphone checkout, and more.
While it comes with an annual price of $98, this up-front cost could result in exponential savings, especially if used regularly.
$4 Prescriptions
If you have a prescription for, or that can be filled by generic medication, don’t pass up Walmart’s $4 prescription program. This program provides up to a 30-day supply of many drugs for just $4 — and for some, you can take home a 90-day supply for $10!
Whether it’s for you or your pet, be sure to check the list of generic drugs to see if yours is included.
Buy Refurbished
Laptops, TVs, games, phones, and more!
Walmart inspects, cleans, and repairs these items so they all work like new. It then resells them, with no cosmetic imperfections, and a 90-day warranty, as certified refurbished. So even those who have some concern over purchasing non-new tech can find a great deal and feel confident in a refurbished purchase.
Trade-in Electronics
Walmart’s Gadgets to Gift Cards program helps you squeeze every last drop of value from your tech.
You’ll select your gadget from the list of eligible products for trade-in, and ship — for free! — to Walmart’s CExhange, and earn an electronic gift card after your item has been checked and approved.
It’s a great way to turn your castoffs into a cash equivalent! And the Gadgets to Gift Cards program as well as Walmart’s certified refurbished offerings are more ways that the retailer is future-forward and sustainable by keeping discarded tech out of the landfill.
Best product categories at Walmart
Walmart’s own Great Value Brand items are traditionally priced lower than similar brand-name ones, but with comparable quality. At such a great value, these aptly named products in multiple shopping categories — anything from groceries like eggs and milk, to cleaning supplies and housewares, can save you a bundle. But here are some of the other top categories to shop at Walmart:
Groceries
In addition to carrying many Great Value branded groceries, Walmart customers find that groceries at Walmart cost less overall, even for higher-end brands. To ensure your dollar stretches as far as possible at Walmart, pay attention to the unit price, which Walmart always posts on their tags.
Also check for grocery and food products at Walmart that are a bulk deal, that have a brand with Fetch, or that are pop-up offers (brands not always affiliated with Fetch, but that are offering special limited-time deals). Shopping at Walmart for snack items like Larabar, and Doritos, and condiments like Tabasco Sweet & Spicy Sauce, or any variety of Tabasco BBQ sauce, will pile on the savings in this category.

Beauty
Walmart is a top beauty destination, with an ever-expanding collection of makeup, skincare, fragrances, oral care, grooming, and hair care.
Fetch users can earn extra points for products in every beauty area at Walmart including on items like Axe products for men, Dark & Lovely hair care products, and Coty classic fragrances, to name just a few.
Clothing & Shoes
Not only does Walmart have some great and affordable clothing staples like t-shirts, dresses, jeans, blouses, tank tops, activewear, swimwear, shoes, and jackets, but Walmart seems to be introducing new fashion items and accessories you’ll want to add to your cart all the time, and has revamped its own clothing lines to be more stylish and fashion-forward.
Housewares
Walmart’s large selection of kitchen items, appliances, storage, bedding, bath, and household goods can keep you roaming the aisles — and coming back again and again — to buy those functional pieces that create welcoming spaces for your entire family.
Whether it’s from Walmart’s Whole Houseware Home collection, Gap Home or Mainstays bedding, or even items specifically chosen by The Home Edit, your home will be happy with your hunt for great deals at Walmart.
Baby
Walmart has long been the go-to place to find baby necessities, as well as fun items to keep your growing family happy and healthy.
With deals on everything from diapers and formula to playmats and high chairs, Walmart shoppers can find and save on all of their baby gear!
But in addition to everyday low prices, Walmart holds an annual Baby Savings Days sale, which lets shoppers and new parents take up to 30 percent off on essential baby items, such as strollers and cribs.
On Baby Savings Days and every day, you can also enjoy partnerships with baby brands like Huggies to earn extra Fetch points toward gift cards at Walmart.
Pets
Walmart knows how important pets are to our lives, so its stores carry essential supplies, a complete line of pet and livestock food, and pet treats and toys at affordable prices, too.
To make it easier than ever to access quality pet care at great prices, Walmart recently introduced its online pet pharmacy for prescription medications and also expanded in-store veterinary clinics.
So whether you are Walmart shopping for Shameless Pets treats, Nexstar or Pet Armour topical flea and tick protection, Kradle Natural delicious calming products for dogs (all Fetch pop-up partner products earning extra points, by the way), or looking to get Fido’s annual exam and teeth cleaning, Walmart has you covered.

Unlike other rewards apps, you don’t need to buy special items or go to a particular store to earn points on Fetch.
