Walmart (Canada) has started offering subscriptions for “free” shipping for under $10 a month. The cost of gas to go there a few times a month would be more than the subscription fee.

Since I normally bike to get groceries, this isn’t really a factor, but the idea of getting groceries shipped over the winter seems like a nice idea.

Does anyone here use these grocery store shipping subscriptions? Is it worth strategically getting it for a few months out of the year?

    Over the winter, I kind of dread going to stores. It’s just not a pleasant experience. $9 divided by at least 4 grocery deliveries in a month seems like it would work to my advantage.

    The only real issue is whether they’ll pick out poor quality produce, or not. I tend to shop in-store only to ensure that I’m getting fresh fruits and veg. 😂

      Here in the States, Walmart+ gives me free delivery on everything, not just groceries. So I use it to have things like toilet paper, soap, deodorant, cat food and treats shipped. If I get delivery from the store, I still have to spend $35 or they charge a fee. There is also a tip for the driver here. You don’t have to tip but I like my eggs still in the shell. Produce is hit or miss but meats seem to be okay. It works for me.

        That’s interesting. In Canada, Walmart has free shipping on orders $35+ but that excludes groceries.

        No tipping. They even say not to on the website 😂
