😂😂😂😂 I stopped watching after you said I eat all organic. Tell me you don't do any type of without telling me you don't do any type of research they have proven. Third organic in some cases can be worse for your health and in other cases just a flat out lie😂😂😂😂 you do not know what you're doing in the grocery store. You should not be making videos like this
I know there is a viral tik tok video telling everyone this, but I don’t believe everything on tik tok. I’d much prefer trusting doctors and nutritionists who have dedicated their life to helping people with nutrition. Dr Josh Axe, Dr Mark Hyman, and many others who say the opposite of your comment.
@@mamas_on_a_budgetmark hyman has been on the quack watchlist for promoting misinformation since 2003. He's devoted his life to profiting off of folks with his bunk health tests and unregulated supplements. You shouldn't blindly believe folks because of degrees
Organic labels automatically mean Non-GMO (check!), and with a USDA organic label, there’s no artificial sweeteners, dyes, and flavors (check!) so yeah I’ll always choose organic over non.
@mamas_on_a_budget but you have seen how Walmart is claiming the weight of an item to be 2x what it actually is? So like 30$ for 4 pds of meat but it's only like 2.5 pds. I hate walmart
Eating organic saves lives. So many mega farms treat marginalized and immigrant workers horribly including forcing them to be around super toxic pesticides all day that hurt their health in major ways like cancer and fertility. Thank you for caring about people by eating organic food.
I've noticed I actually save money with online ordering with Walmart+. Especially if you use their online coupons you can make money for your next order. Items are at times on clearance while still full price in store.
Down side is you loose some quality control as far as produce and expiration dates. I am a small household so its vital that i dig for the bb or sell by date is far enough out and i feel likenthey just grab the first one but thanks for doing this research ❤
Looking for this. Aldi absolutely does this. It's such a bummer because I too have 2 young children and would love to do Aldi pickup but can't justify paying more...it seems really dishonest
@@Kimbrs17 hey… I’ve been looking into Aldi pickup. On their app I read they charge 12 cents per paper bag they use… I’m not sure if it’s an option to do the pickup without the buying their paper bags because I’ve never done it. Could that be where the extra cost is coming in or do they actually mark up their food? Like I said I’ve never actually done it there.
Walmart per item prices are usually the same. Sam’s is the same as well. Costco and Aldi charge more per item for pick up and delivery. Things through instacart usually do. At least in FL.
@@mamas_on_a_budget and then they charge service charges as well which makes no sense if they are already adding fees to each item. Costco it’s $1.50 or more extra each item. Crazy!
This is interesting. I have noticed that sometimes stores will run sales on their app but when you go into the store there is no sale...so it would have saved me money to do a pickup order on the sale items.
@@mamas_on_a_budgetthe reverse is definitely true, but it tends to be on last minute discounts etc. Also not sure if they do this in the US, but in the UK they mark down fresh items at the end of the day if theyre going to go out of date/be wasted. This includes for at the hot area, as well as sandwiches, veg, meat etc. i usually go a bit later in the afternoon and look for discounted things i can put in the freezer. I’ve easily saved hundreds this way
In the Southeastern states, the preorder and pick up price vs the gather in store and purchase price is higher in every Publix grocery store. Every item is at least 10 cents more, some items are much more so it does add up. But- they tend to pay their workers decent wages and offer benefits (Walmart absolutely does not)- if short on time or with a little one who does not need to be out and about breathing in other people’s germs- would be worth it.
When I’ve done Walmart orders, I’ve noticed that they’ve been the same whether I go in or go online for curbside order. I live in San Antonio Texas so therefore our H-E-B does charge up to a 3% surcharge for things that are done in a curbside order versus in store
Walmart has advertised that their prices are the same online and in-store. Like you, I've found this to be true. Now, are things out of stock when they say they are? That's debatable.
Try shopping local at farmers markets! It is a misconception that they are more expensive than grocery stores. AND you get way better food and get to know exactly where its coming from and who grew it!
i love the farmers market. the one here anyway, everything is so cheap and sometimes if they have too much of something or just want to sell it or wtv, you get like 8 pounds of potatoes for $4 lol
My local farmers market is waaayy more expensive than the stores. 5lb chicken was $25. I needed 2 to feed my family. $50 plus sides came out to almost $70 for one meal. I can't afford organic 😫
They built a Walmart market place right beside our local farmers market in hopes of stealing their business but instead the locals have doubled down and the Walmart never has enough staff.
The stores don't charge a fee for curbside orders. The only way to make it financially sound is to increase online prices by a small amount. I used to avoid curbside because of this. However, there are days that the convenience is absolutely worth it! The amount is small, & in store coupons still work at my store. Plus, things like sodas being 3 for $12 won't change for curbside. But, I've only used HEB. Other stores may be different.
Target / Shipt grocery pickup is about 15% more expensive. I stopped my annual membership about 8 months ago because of this. With the price increase and tipping it worked out to be about 25% more than going shopping myself. I didn’t mind paying the tip for the increase but with an annual membership, increased in prices on items and then a tip on top, it just wasn’t worth it.
Walmart is the one store that I know doesn’t do up charge. I’ve seen superstore in Canada. I’ve seen the up charge when I make an order and I go and use that grocery order as my shopping list in the store. My total has come out to about $15-$20 difference, not including additional fees that have to do with pick up ordelivery
The reason they don't charge more, is because the curbside pick up orders are less likely to shoplift and are actively encouraging customers to go this route. Mistakes happen, but it's easier to use digital coupons with curbside pick up.
Grocery stores that offer an online/pickup option should not charge extra. Ever. They will have budgeted to have staff specifically for that task. But, to offset the additional labour cost, they will increase prices on certain items
As a delivery driver myself may I mlease ask you for the love of all the is good a kind in this world, PLEASE TIP YOUR DRIVERS. It’s my job. I don’t do it for fun. That tip doesn’t just pay my bills. It for gas, tires, oils changes and repairs on my car so I can keep driving. Door dash base pay is typically around $2.50. Uber is a little over $1 per mile. We depend solely on tips. We appreciate the work so please remeber to include tips when comparing prices. ❤
I don’t do delivery ever but I’ve done many delivery jobs like you, groceries too. There’s nothing worse then delivering groceries to the 2nd or 3rd floor of an apartment that took forever to find and then they don’t tip 😭
I understand the delivery fee but I don’t understand a second service charge. I mean what service did you provide that you wouldn’t have provided if I walked in and ordered take out. I’m guessing it’s because they can’t inflate the delivery charge because they would over pay the delivery service.
2 things.. in my experience.. if you use the store directly there is only a difference in price if you go to a different store and some prices might be discounted in store but not online. If you use instacart or something like that, there absolutely is a price increase to all items. Side note, organic at Walmart often comes from China. And nothing good comes out of China. So please reevaluate what you're eating.
One reason we are paying more for groceries is this service of online shopping. They are not offering this service out of the kindness. We are paying for this service whether we use it or not
I don't do pick up I do delivery. So yes I pay a little more for convince. But I have discovered that many items I buy are actually cheaper when ordering online for delivery then they are I'm store. Plus sales that are online only.
You’ll definitely pay an up charge if you use Instacart, Uber, or Door Dash. But, you all already know that. I’m glad she did this because I always wondered. However, I have gone into the store and compared even with delivery. All is well with Walmart.
I save with delivery (yes I have walmart+ & I tip drivers) because I will spend less since I don't make impulse purchaces unlike when I go in person. Plus I save time and gas.
NGL, they SHOULD charge you for pick ups. It costs them a lot of money to hire the people to fill those orders and meanwhile, the people in the store can't even get someone to check them out.
The biggest issue I have with pickups is there has been many times that I get spoiled produce and sure sometimes I get refunded but most times I now need that item and need to go get it myself anyway so that sucks..
Walmart here in San Diego charges more in store than online pickup for many items. It’s infuriating if you make a list and want to go in, only to discover everything is jacked up from what you saw on the app.
I wonder what they’d say if you submitted the online order after filling up the cart with everything in the order then asking them to process it right then and there lol
@510heart510 yeah, it doesn't work like that. Online grocery pick up has to go through their system in order to process it, and the order usually doesn't come in until much later after you've put in for it. Then they have to go and scan each individual item and verify that they put it in their right basket, depending on if you bought shelf stable, frozen or cold items. Then they can say on their devices that the order is ready for pick up.
Organic foods, especially at Walmart are definitely not worth the higher prices. One of these days c you should do a little research to find out what little a company has to do to have their product labeled organic. You’ve got two kids now, it’s about time you find out where your food is sourced from and how it’s produced. Not whether it’s labeled organic or not.
I think there is a viral tik tok video where everyone is getting this idea that organic isn’t really organic? I’ve seen this many times in my comments and I’m not sure what research I should be finding? I can’t find the viral tik tok video if that’s what you found your info from. But I have spent 1,000s of hours listening to podcasts and doing my own personal research on nutrition, if you can’t tell by the way I shop. I probably know more then the average Jo on this subject as it’s a huge passion of mine. The organic label means no round up weed killer, no antibiotics used on the animals, no steroids shot into their bodies to fatten them up, it means that the cows graze on grass which is better for the environment. It means I’m not supporting mass factory farming that is horrible for the animals and the earth. Could companies cut corners and not do the right thing? Sure but any farmer could do that. I can tell based on how much produce I eat that there is no wax coating on my organic apple or that my cucumber doesn’t taste like chemicals (and I can actually taste the difference and feel it). Probably more importantly, the standard glass of conventional non organic dairy contains upwards of 80 medications! You won’t find that in organic, even generic store bought dairy. Now I know tik tok can be a really good place to get a ton of info, but it’s not always true. People are trying to get likes and views on their videos. If there is a source you would recommend, and you didn’t get your info from there, I apologize. But that seems to be the common story when I ask people where they got their info from. In addition, I’d love to learn. So if you have sources that you used to help you figure this out, pass it on! Thanks.
I work at a grocery store that does up charge $5 for the convenience of shopping for the customer. Because I do this service for the company I find the cheapest and best items for the customer when I can. I know I’m not getting that money and it’s all profits for the company.
When you have small children,‘it’s best to do a pick up. Even if you were charged an extra dollar or two. The time saved is worth it. I don’t have children. But I like to pick out my own stuff. I want the best my money can buy. I see the shoppers grab anything.
As someone who worked in a grocery store... Why would you be upset that the grocery store is up charging? They had to hire more people to shop for you and create a whole new department so that its convenient for people to just grab and go. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to shop for the customer its not a drive thru experience where it takes the store the same amount of time to create the food/ beverage you are picking up. I will always opt for shopping myself, unless the convenience outweighs the money. Just food for thought. Its always easy to think your problems are a priority but in reality its a time consuming convience and time equals money. I hope this opens your mind to the other side of the coin.
I know some stores up charge per item for online orders, but Walmart does not. I have stopped getting my produce there though…🤢I usually place an online order with Walmart once a week, and then I also go to Aldi or Costco depending on what I need.
Walmart does not. Sams does not. If you go thru a 3rd party shopper like Instacart yes. But man delivery and pickup options are worth every penny to me in time savings. Plus all the impulse shopping I’m not doing lol
Went to try an order pickup for Costco groceries. Most of the items we wanted were clearly marked "this item is cheaper in store" so we canceled the pick up, and went in ourselves.
Ive noticed if i do a home delivery, walmart shops for everything. If there is something unavailable they will give you something of equal or greater value. I purchased a large can of rediwhip. They substituted for 2 of the lesser size and charged me only for the larger one i originally ordered. Another time, they were out of hershys syrup small size so they gave me the value size for the price of the smaller one 😊 im generally pleased when my groceries show up. Its very helpful too bc im very small 4'9" some most of the time i leave without things i needed bc i cant reach. Delivery is so much less stressful! Well worth the delivery fee.
They aren’t charging you more you just don’t always get the same discounts as those who shop in store they do it on purpose so you come in the store the just let items stay the regular price and don’t always give the discount or sometimes clearance items don’t apply bc the can’t guarantee stock of clearance items
You should expect to pay more as it's a convenience to you. Having someone else shop for 20 minutes so you don't have to is saving you time. Time is money and stores have to add more employees for this convenience for you. So it's great there wasn't a negative difference but no one should expect things to be the same price when someone else is saving you time.
Just a bit more information if you have it delivered its $5 -10 with certain times actually $0. I'm recovering from a broken femur so this is such a big help
Hey, I used to buy all organic too but consider doing your research because often it’s not worth the extra $$$ . Sometimes the claim to organic is very low standards and there’s even legalities with putting words like organic in the name that make it seem like it’s better when actually it’s not. I decided for a lot of products it’s not actually worth it to buy organic when it’s almost the exact same product for more
I find it's the opposite at least with Walmart did the list on pick up like I normally would just to be able to screen shot it for my husband make it easier with photos to reference and had the total at 97 and some change he left with all the exact same stuff shopping in person and spent little over 118 for the exact same stuff. Idk if it applies to other places but Walmart at least does give cash back rewards you can only claim by doing online/pick up shopping and especially if you do a big grocery haul like us every few weeks and your spending like 5 600 everytime I end up getting alot more cash back than if I did a weekly shop
I personally don't care about an up charge on an item when ordering online. I figure I didn't have to walk around the grocery store. The peace of mind you have from not dealing with crazy people. Also the time you saved by not going into the store.
I do expect to pay extra for pick up as someone is doing your shopping for you and they need to be paid but I still save more doing pick up as you just get what’s on the list and not tempted by thing like you do when shopping but maybe I just don’t have enough will power
i have been doing pickup for months now after our store changed everything and i had to watch a video of myself AT THE REGISTER typing in cucumber because there was no sticker on it. I have way to bad of anxiety for that.. like it took everything I had in me just to go to the store in the first place 😅
HEB here in Texas does charge more per item for online orders versus self shopping. And it's not just a few cents. I remember grapes at one point were over $5 more per lb than in person. That's when I noticed every single item was significantly more than online.
Why do people think it's a scam when they charge you extra for picking up your groceries or Takeaways because you don't want to get them yourself. One, they charge extra because they also have overheads to cover. Two, they are not doing you a favor. They offer you a service. You have a choice not to use the service for your convenience. I really wish people would stop making content trying to make everything out yo be bad
King Soopers? No unless it’s under a certain price. Walmart? No unless it’s under a certain price. Target? No charge at all. These are the only stores I’m aware of.
You don't spend more for the items but you do pay for the worker fees. I used to use the Walmart grocery app when I was on EBT as well as the Kroger and Aldi app, although Aldi does upcharge on their app, but not Walmart or Kroger.
We will pay a tip and have it delivered. We only have one car in our house and when I have to work, I can send it to my home and have my husband do it. Plus, we both work full time and it’s a great solution. We also are funding someone’s job! We probably save time, money, and stress over it. 😊
See, I use the Walmart app as my list then you can literally check the prices without even going through the extra step of writing down each individual price. That way when I walk in, I know about how much I’ll probably be walking out spending. Keep me on track.
Walmart doesn't seem to have that issue. I wonder where the issues are where there are roll backs and they are fake. Where walmart is over charging for weighted meat etc. I don't like buying meat from Walmart. I think it's stupid expensive. I go to aldi or some discounted food place near me.
As a person, who has worked doing grocery pick up. I know grocery pick up is more expensive, because they give you no items that are on sale, or marked down, most of the time. if you are in store, you can pick up items that are on sale, and or clearance. With grocery pick up, they give you the most freshest items that are available.

Walmart is the good place to buy online grocery . I did the same math and Aldi's up charges between 10 to 15percent more for online order pickup
Yes I think it’s because Aldi uses instacart!
Target is also good. And their pickup system is better but they have less stuff
Winn Dixie uses shopping services like insta cart for pickup and there is both an upcharge plus fee added to your cost.

It's also going to depend on the weight of groceries you personally pick in the store and what the shopper picks for you.
It depends on the store. HEB here in Texas does like a 10 cent up charge on everything you buy I believe.
I love shopping n pick up from all the stores it helps me not over spend on things I don't need
I haven't notice much difference with groceries but i have for general merchandise items.

Online grocery pick up has to go through their system in order to process it, and the order usually doesn't come in until much later after you've put in for it. Then they have to go and scan each individual item and verify that they put it in their right basket, depending on if you bought shelf stable, frozen or cold items. Then they can say on their devices that the order is ready for pick up.
Organic foods, especially at Walmart are definitely not worth the higher prices. One of these days c you should do a little research to find out what little a company has to do to have their product labeled organic. You’ve got two kids now, it’s about time you find out where your food is sourced from and how it’s produced. Not whether it’s labeled organic or not.
I think there is a viral tik tok video where everyone is getting this idea that organic isn’t really organic? I’ve seen this many times in my comments and I’m not sure what research I should be finding? I can’t find the viral tik tok video if that’s what you found your info from. But I have spent 1,000s of hours listening to podcasts and doing my own personal research on nutrition, if you can’t tell by the way I shop. I probably know more then the average Jo on this subject as it’s a huge passion of mine. The organic label means no round up weed killer, no antibiotics used on the animals, no steroids shot into their bodies to fatten them up, it means that the cows graze on grass which is better for the environment. It means I’m not supporting mass factory farming that is horrible for the animals and the earth. Could companies cut corners and not do the right thing? Sure but any farmer could do that. I can tell based on how much produce I eat that there is no wax coating on my organic apple or that my cucumber doesn’t taste like chemicals (and I can actually taste the difference and feel it). Probably more importantly, the standard glass of conventional non organic dairy contains upwards of 80 medications! You won’t find that in organic, even generic store bought dairy. Now I know tik tok can be a really good place to get a ton of info, but it’s not always true. People are trying to get likes and views on their videos. If there is a source you would recommend, and you didn’t get your info from there, I apologize. But that seems to be the common story when I ask people where they got their info from. In addition, I’d love to learn. So if you have sources that you used to help you figure this out, pass it on! Thanks.
Thank you for doing this. I was always wondering the same. I have 2 under 2 years old and pick up is very convenient for me!
I work at a grocery store that does up charge $5 for the convenience of shopping for the customer. Because I do this service for the company I find the cheapest and best items for the customer when I can. I know I’m not getting that money and it’s all profits for the company.
When you have small children,‘it’s best to do a pick up. Even if you were charged an extra dollar or two. The time saved is worth it.
I don’t have children. But I like to pick out my own stuff. I want the best my money can buy. I see the shoppers grab anything.
As someone who worked in a grocery store... Why would you be upset that the grocery store is up charging? They had to hire more people to shop for you and create a whole new department so that its convenient for people to just grab and go. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to shop for the customer its not a drive thru experience where it takes the store the same amount of time to create the food/ beverage you are picking up. I will always opt for shopping myself, unless the convenience outweighs the money. Just food for thought. Its always easy to think your problems are a priority but in reality its a time consuming convience and time equals money. I hope this opens your mind to the other side of the coin.
It depends on if the store is shopping or if it's a third party like Instacart. Kroger pick up same Kroger delivery way off.
I can’t seem to buy any fresh items at Walmart, they don’t have them in Wa state! Good for you!
I know some stores up charge per item for online orders, but Walmart does not. I have stopped getting my produce there though…🤢I usually place an online order with Walmart once a week, and then I also go to Aldi or Costco depending on what I need.
Walmart does not. Sams does not. If you go thru a 3rd party shopper like Instacart yes. But man delivery and pickup options are worth every penny to me in time savings. Plus all the impulse shopping I’m not doing lol
HEB prices are higher online than in store shopping but Walmart prices are the same
Walmart started doing a cash back when you order online
Walmart does not raise its prices if you do pick up, but Aldi does
My local Walmart chargers more on some items shopping in store vs shopping pick up so I just do pick up now
Went to try an order pickup for Costco groceries. Most of the items we wanted were clearly marked "this item is cheaper in store" so we canceled the pick up, and went in ourselves.
Ive noticed if i do a home delivery, walmart shops for everything. If there is something unavailable they will give you something of equal or greater value. I purchased a large can of rediwhip. They substituted for 2 of the lesser size and charged me only for the larger one i originally ordered. Another time, they were out of hershys syrup small size so they gave me the value size for the price of the smaller one 😊 im generally pleased when my groceries show up. Its very helpful too bc im very small 4'9" some most of the time i leave without things i needed bc i cant reach. Delivery is so much less stressful! Well worth the delivery fee.
Thanks. Good to know.
They aren’t charging you more you just don’t always get the same discounts as those who shop in store they do it on purpose so you come in the store the just let items stay the regular price and don’t always give the discount or sometimes clearance items don’t apply bc the can’t guarantee stock of clearance items
Good point!
You should expect to pay more as it's a convenience to you. Having someone else shop for 20 minutes so you don't have to is saving you time. Time is money and stores have to add more employees for this convenience for you. So it's great there wasn't a negative difference but no one should expect things to be the same price when someone else is saving you time.
Walmart is pretty good about this... but, since places do charge more
Also if certain stores don’t have the option you want they’ll swap out more expensive versions of the same item at the lower price
When I’ve done it (not at Walmart) items were $2-3 for pick up vs. me going and shopping myself.
Like $2-$3 higher each?
@@mamas_on_a_budget yes!!!
My store is opposite they charge less online and more in person. The locations very with prices.
I pay less if I order online. It's more in-store. They have to price match online.
Just a bit more information if you have it delivered its $5 -10 with certain times actually $0. I'm recovering from a broken femur so this is such a big help
Hey, I used to buy all organic too but consider doing your research because often it’s not worth the extra $$$ . Sometimes the claim to organic is very low standards and there’s even legalities with putting words like organic in the name that make it seem like it’s better when actually it’s not. I decided for a lot of products it’s not actually worth it to buy organic when it’s almost the exact same product for more
Yes, if you want someone to perform a service for you, you have to pay them to do it.
I find it's the opposite at least with Walmart did the list on pick up like I normally would just to be able to screen shot it for my husband make it easier with photos to reference and had the total at 97 and some change he left with all the exact same stuff shopping in person and spent little over 118 for the exact same stuff. Idk if it applies to other places but Walmart at least does give cash back rewards you can only claim by doing online/pick up shopping and especially if you do a big grocery haul like us every few weeks and your spending like 5 600 everytime I end up getting alot more cash back than if I did a weekly shop
So company’s like Instacart are charging more. The price the shopper pays is not the price the customer pays.
I personally don't care about an up charge on an item when ordering online. I figure I didn't have to walk around the grocery store. The peace of mind you have from not dealing with crazy people. Also the time you saved by not going into the store.
If they had delivery when I was raising my kids... I would have paid 20$ + extra for it. We had no option for it....
I do expect to pay extra for pick up as someone is doing your shopping for you and they need to be paid but I still save more doing pick up as you just get what’s on the list and not tempted by thing like you do when shopping but maybe I just don’t have enough will power
I do walmart delivery because I hate public spaces i don't care if they charge more it keeps me from dealing with people
Wegmans in my area raise there price on like like 1 or 2 dollars per item. Most stores just do 5 dollars as a fee for bag and other stuff
i have been doing pickup for months now after our store changed everything and i had to watch a video of myself AT THE REGISTER typing in cucumber because there was no sticker on it. I have way to bad of anxiety for that.. like it took everything I had in me just to go to the store in the first place 😅
What a great mother and this is how I want me and my wife to be for our family.
That is so sweet! Thank you!
People question the price difference, but don’t think about the people that are doing the physical labor for them. Are they supposed to work for free?
Wow 😮 I have never seen a walmart that empty before
They disclose if the prices are different..
HEB here in Texas does charge more per item for online orders versus self shopping. And it's not just a few cents. I remember grapes at one point were over $5 more per lb than in person. That's when I noticed every single item was significantly more than online.
Thanks. I order online and I have really wondered that.
Why do people think it's a scam when they charge you extra for picking up your groceries or Takeaways because you don't want to get them yourself. One, they charge extra because they also have overheads to cover. Two, they are not doing you a favor. They offer you a service. You have a choice not to use the service for your convenience. I really wish people would stop making content trying to make everything out yo be bad
Their websites are pretty clear about the upcharges.
There's nothing special about organic labels. But they are charging more organic vs. regular.
I prefer delivery. The convenience is awesome, i still get points for dollars spent. And i save gas!
Note King Arthur flour isn't worth the 3dollars more than generic either
It’s so nice for those who have super busy lives!
@@tapestry6455 what is the problem with King Arthur flour?
King Soopers? No unless it’s under a certain price.
Walmart? No unless it’s under a certain price.
Target? No charge at all.
These are the only stores I’m aware of.
What is King Soopers?
You don't spend more for the items but you do pay for the worker fees. I used to use the Walmart grocery app when I was on EBT as well as the Kroger and Aldi app, although Aldi does upcharge on their app, but not Walmart or Kroger.
We will pay a tip and have it delivered. We only have one car in our house and when I have to work, I can send it to my home and have my husband do it. Plus, we both work full time and it’s a great solution. We also are funding someone’s job! We probably save time, money, and stress over it. 😊
If you use a Delivery service like Door dash then they upcharge.
I love pickup especially when im feeling particularly antisocial
See, I use the Walmart app as my list then you can literally check the prices without even going through the extra step of writing down each individual price. That way when I walk in, I know about how much I’ll probably be walking out spending. Keep me on track.
Depends totally on the store.
I mean…. It should be extra. You’re getting a service which saves you time and hassle.
Walmart doesn't seem to have that issue. I wonder where the issues are where there are roll backs and they are fake. Where walmart is over charging for weighted meat etc. I don't like buying meat from Walmart. I think it's stupid expensive. I go to aldi or some discounted food place near me.
The answer is it depends on the store. Walmart doesn’t up charge, but some stores may.
As a person, who has worked doing grocery pick up. I know grocery pick up is more expensive, because they give you no items that are on sale, or marked down, most of the time. if you are in store, you can pick up items that are on sale, and or clearance. With grocery pick up, they give you the most freshest items that are available.
