#1. Use The Walmart App To Find The Best Walmart Grocery Deals!

You can use the Walmart app to plan your shopping trip before you even leave home.

So plan ahead and check the app to find the current weekly add flyer, clearance items, deals, and more.

The Walmart App is also one of the easiest way to compare online prices while you’re shopping in the store.  There is even a convenient app feature that will allow you to scan an item while shopping in-store to see what the price is.

So when you’re walking down the aisle of your local Walmart, make sure to compare the in-store prices with the online prices.

Also take a moment to see if an item you want to buy is cheaper at another local store.  Walmart prices are not always the lowest, and better deals can be frequently found at competitor stores!

#2. Use Walmart Grocery Pickup to Avoid Impulse Buys!

If you don’t want to go inside your local Walmart to grocery shop, you can also take advantage of FREE grocery curbside pickup at select stores on orders of $35 or more.

Check here to see if your local store offers this service, then follow the website instructions for how to pickup the items you’ve ordered!

Not only will this save you time, but the Walmart Grocery Pickup will also help you avoid those impulse buys!

#3. Shop Early in the Morning to Score Walmart Meat Specials!

When you see those Walmart Meat Specials… it’s time to stock up!

Also, consider buying boneless cuts, so you don’t have to pay for bones that will be thrown away. For example, I buy boneless chicken and skip the T-bone steaks.

Try visiting your store in the morning and look for the meat with the yellow stickers!

Then stock up and freeze the extras for later, or put it to use with these Easy Meal Prep Ideas!

#4. Skip The Walmart Deli Meat and Save A Bundle

Why wait in line to spend more money on meat?

When shopping at Walmart, you can save up to $5.00 per pound when you skip the Walmart deli counter ham and get pre-sliced ham from the Walmart meat department instead!

Buying pre-sliced ham from the Walmart meat department is one of my favorite grocery money saving tips.

#5. Then Learn These Secrets to Save On Meat All Year Long…

Get started by using these 20 Ways to Save Money on Meat to save BIG on meat all year long.  Start planning ahead and thinking outside the box with these creative ideas.

#6. Always Look for Walmart Dented Cans and Damaged Boxes!

Now when you’re shopping for items on your list, make sure you’re flexible on what brands you buy.

For example, I was looking for chicken noodle soup the other day, but near the cans I was about to grab I noticed some dented cans in a different brand that were even cheaper!

Whether it’s dented cans, a dented box, day old bakery items, a small tear in the plastic of a pack of napkins, or seasonal items… you can find some seriously sweet deals!

I’ve picked up mini pies for just 5 cents each (seriously… 5 cents), a dozen donuts for $1.88, dented cans of Pumpkin Pie filling for around 75% off, and the list goes on.

Always take a minute to just swing by any dented cans or clearance items, and indulge in a fun little treasure hunt with that pile of random things!

You may be surprised at what goodies you’ll find!

#7. Swing By the Bakery and Check For Day Old Walmart Donuts and Pies!

Craving something sweet?  Or just want to surprise someone back at home?

Swing by the bakery, or check the clearance racks in the back of the store, and look for day old donuts and pies.

They’re still extra delicious, but often less than half the price!

Reduced bakery items at Walmart are such a simple way to Cut Your Grocery Bill!

#8. Never Pay Full Price for Walmart Bread!

While you’re picking up some discounted baked goods, check the racks and baskets near the bakery (or in the back of the store).

Here you’ll find discounted Breads, Hotdog Buns, or Hamburger Buns!

#9. Stock up on Walmart Discontinued Cereal Flavors to Save up to 75% Off!

Boxes of Nilla banana pudding cereal.

Cereal brands are often testing out new flavors, and the ones that don’t fly off the shelves can get quietly discontinued.

Before you grab the cereals you’ve regularly got on repeat, scour the cereal aisle for tiny clearance tags like these I found on Nilla Wafer cereal and Pop-Tarts cereal!

Boxes of different flavors of Pop Tart cereal.

#10. Try 1 New (Great Value) Walmart Store Brand Item Each Week!

Store Brands are an easy way to save money at almost every store and Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ product line is no exception.

By giving up the brand name label, you can score the same or similar products for a discount everyday, sale or no sale.

Scared to try a store brand for the first time?  Make a game out of trying one new store brand every week.

You’ll be surprised at how many store brand products you like, and how much money you’ll save!

#11. Score Up to 50% off Walmart Bakery Goodies the Week After a Holiday!

Always head to Walmart the day after a holiday to load up on discounted baked goods… like these half-off Valentine’s Day Cookies!

#12. Then Get Up to 75% off Walmart Boxed Mixes and Candy After Christmas!

Shelves of baking supplies marked 50% off.

From Christmas Candy to Boxed Mixes, the day after the big day is the best time to load up on treats to satisfy those sugar cravings!

A sweet deal on sweet treats… yes please!

Sometimes I’ll even grab some clearance Halloween candy and save it as Stocking Stuffers for Men and Teenage Guy Stocking Stuffers!

#13. Stash Away Walmart Christmas Clearance Gifts for Next Year When You Check Expiration Dates!

When you’re shopping the day after Christmas, it’s the perfect time to stock up on Frugal Gifts for next year!

Swing by the Christmas clearance aisles, and don’t pass up on the packaged food gifts.  Simply check the expiration dates and see if they’ll be good long enough to gift next Christmas.

It’s easy to assume that the food will expire, but SO many gifts actually have great expiration dates a few years out!  I do this ALL the time, and it’s such a simple way to save on gifts… including those delicious treats!

#14. Always Check the Walmart Clearance Aisle to Save BIG on Last Chance Merchandise!

Swinging by the clearance rack is always a favorite stop of mine at Walmart.

I can’t tell you just how many bargains I’ve been able to score there!

Make sure to learn where your store’s clearance aisle is located, then swing by it every time you shop.

I’ve found some INCREDIBLE deals and fun gifts to stash away for later on my Walmart’s clearance aisle.  Like this set of sweet of baby burp cloths that was marked down to just $1.50!

#15. Shop The Walmart Black Friday Sale for HUGE Discounts!

I’ve scored so many great Walmart Black Friday Deals over the years!

The trick is to add items to your online shopping cart that you already plan to buy.  Then wait for Black Friday sales to see if those items go on sale.

This method is such an easy way to score additional savings on items you already need to buy.

#16. Shop End of Season Clearance for the Best Deals on Walmart Holiday Decor

Just like scoring deals on sweet treats the day after a holiday, you can also get the best deals on holiday decor in the days or weeks after a holiday.

I’ve literally purchased almost every piece of Christmas Decor I own in the weeks after Christmas.

Why pay full price when you can score 40%, 50%, and even up to 90% off!?!

#17. Take Advantage of the Walmart Online Price Match Policy!

So before you shop, make sure you are up to date with the current Walmart Price Match Policy!

#18. Never Pay for Walmart Shipping!

Never pay for shipping when you buy items you can pickup at your local Walmart.

Items are held at the store for up to a week, so you can simply stop by the store at your convenience and save that unnecessary shipping charge!

If you want items shipped to your home for free instead, just make sure your order meets the minimum spend requirement to receive free shipping!

#19. Save Money with the Walmart Pickup Discount!

Score even more Walmart grocery deals when you buy select items that are eligible for the Walmart pickup discount.

When browsing the site, look for items that say “Pickup Discount Eligible.”

Easy Trick To Save Time: When picking up items in store, skip Customer Service and go straight to the self serve kiosk at the front of the store.

Once you enter your order information, an employee or an automated system will retrieve your order from one of the lockers located next to the kiosk.

If your item is too big for the lockers, the employee will get the item for you from the back.

#20. Use Newspaper Coupons to Rack Up More Walmart Coupon Savings!

Make sure you look for Sunday Newspaper coupons for each item on your shopping list before you head to Walmart.

Coupons are still such an easy way to save money on your groceries!

When combined with other sales, they’re a simple way to double up on your savings!

Load up on even more coupons for Walmart when you get a local Newspaper Subscription!  This is one of the easiest ways to consistently collect grocery coupons and score Walmart Grocery Deals.

#21. Know the Walmart Coupon Policy Before You Shop!

It’s smart to make sure you’re experience using coupons at Walmart is a positive one that you’ll want to repeat.

So before using coupons at Walmart, be sure to do a quick online search for the most up-to-date Walmart Coupon Policy.

Be in the know and avoid coupon frustrations at the checkout!
