Walmart is one of those stores where you go in for one or two items and leave with a cart full of impulse purchases. We all need shopping trips like that once in a while, since shopping can be therapeutic — and unless it's a habit, or you're in tremendous debt, you should forgive yourself for an occasional splurge .
But Walmart is great for another reason. You can find a ton of hidden gems at great prices. I'm not just talking about the discount DVD bins — there are plenty of great finds in all types of categories that may actually improve your life. Remember, just because something is at a low price doesn't mean it's not worthy of your time.
Thanks to online reviews, we as consumers get an even better idea of what we're getting. That means when something has four or five stars, we can safely boost our expectations. That's why it's important to leave reviews. It's the perfect way to help guide our fellow shoppers.
Of course, diving into Walmart's website is a little intimidating. The store has literally everything. You can buy a ton of stuff you need to get a new baby set up, along with a bunch of charcoal and a brand-new grill — all in one trip. But it might be tough to find the hidden treasures that won't financially set you back. Friends, that's where I come in.
Here are 19 things at Walmart that have proven that they deserve a spot in your online cart.
