Walmart had their big anniversary sale this week, they had some pretty great deals on a few things. I really didn’t want to drive all the way to the store and fight the crowds, so when I got an email from them saying free shipping I checked out their site more. I thought there would be a minimum amount to spend, and that they wouldn’t ship out larger items….boy, was I wrong!!
I ordered 3 packs of the Charmin toilet paper that was on sale, 30 double rolls for $7.86 each, and Bounty paper towels – a 12 pack for $7.86 also. The site said it would ship for free, but I still didn’t even really believe it!
2 huge boxes came by Canada Post yesterday! I can’t believe this was all delivered for free!
A great way to save money in so many ways, you don’t have to drive down to the store to get the one or two big deals of the week!! No starting the car, no fighting the crowds, spending time there, bringing kids along etc. A great way to take advantage of blow out prices from the comfort of your own home! And since there’s no minimum amount you can really just shop just the deals you want for that week!
So, what will Walmart deliver? No frozen food or perishables of course, but they will ship things like laundry soap and cleaning products for free, as well as most other things on their web site! It’s marked right away if it qualifies for free shipping, you can even search the section you want for items that will ship free only! You can even search by clearance and rollbacks too to find those great deals!! I didn’t have to load a cart, checkout, load my car, drive home and bring it all in the house – the mailman brought it right to the door for me!! And it tells you right away if the item is in stock or not too so not driving to the store to find they’ve already sold out.
A great idea for those without a car, seniors, or people like me who didn’t want to bother heading to Walmart at 9pm to pick up a good deal! Not sure if they ship to p.o. boxes or not, but if you live out of town it’s worth looking into! My total order was $44 with taxes and we are now well stocked for the entire winter!! I will be keeping a closer eye on their flyers from now on for these big deals for sure!

My WalMart is under construction right now and IMPOSSIBLE to shop. This is an awesome tip!
Definitely would be a lot easier for sure, good luck!! 🙂 I never would have believed it if I didn’t get that order – best free shipping ever!
man i really missed out on that sale. i was broke though. thanks for the great online tip though cause i dont drive. just wish they had paypal or visadebit as a payment option.
They ship to P.O. Boxes. that’s is what we have and they have shipped here several times 🙂
wow! that’s awesome, and good to know!
Now, if only we could price match and use coupons online….
yup, that was my only concern with shopping online. But the deals they had on a few things were well worth not getting to use coupons. Plus I hear it was all $1 cheaper online than in the store too.
Thanks for the tip Nadine! I had no idea and have been meaning to go to Walmart but did not want to fight the crowds either!
For sure great to avoid crowds! Wonder if it’ll work on their xmas time and boxing day type deals too? Could be great!! I think for busy parents it would make life a lot easier too, cut out a lot of errands. 🙂
I didn’t know they did this in Canada (let alone here in Wpg) so I’ll definitely have to look into it.
How long did shipping take?
It’s pretty fast. I’ve ordered a few times and usually a few days to a week.
Also great for parents of brand new little ones! They also ship diapers , wipes and all that fun stuff. Also the mailman doesn’t care if you have spitup on your shoulder when you answer the door!
So true Judy! I think it’s so great if you don’t know what to send a new parent for a gift. Instead of a knick knack you can send them things they’ll actually need 🙂 Great for care packages
