Anyone have any experience with Walmart+? Is it a good service for $50? Seems like its a competitor to Amazon Prime but also offering grocery delivery and if you have to return something, they come to your house to pick up the item

As someone with a bunch of kids, never setting foot in a grocery store with them ever is worth the price alone. Having your groceries delivered to your porch is amazing, plus my toddlers love "grocery day" and go nuts over bringing them in and checking out what we received.

With their standard W+, it's kind of expected that you tip the drivers (via Walmart app when you order). They have an additional $40/year addition called In-Home, where you can have them actually bring them inside and stock your shelves/fridge for you (I find this super weird), drop them in your garage, or just still drop them on your porch. I still opt for the porch, but the best part of In-Home is that the drivers are Walmart employees and you don't (and can't) tip on delivery, which adds up super quickly in my case.

So for $140/year, I get my groceries dropped on my porch and never have to load my kids in the car, go pick everything out while trying to put back everything my kids grab off the shelves and throw in the cart, check out, load groceries and kids back into the car, and unload them when I get home.

This services is like gold to me. We originally signed up when we all got Covid in 2021, and have kept it ever since.

Now I must say that I've had a few orders over the years that just plain didn't show up because they didn't have any drivers available. Those are annoying, but I just cancel and re-submit the order for the next day or whatever. It used to be horrible when they used DoorDash for deliveries, but it's gotten way better since they dropped them.

The produce you order is obviously up to the picker, but I'll say that 95% of the time, I get great produce from them. I've had the occasional moldy strawberries, but you just hit the return button in the app, and they give you your money back without having to return the bad produce.

Also, you get Paramount+ for free and can use Sam's Club gas.

If you don’t let them in your house, how do they come in to pack your groceries away? I thought that was the point of the InHome service they provided?

The best part of InHome is no tipping. And you choose where you want your groceries delivered: your fridge/shelves (with smart lock), your garage (with smart opener), or on your porch. I choose porch.

It seems to me that the benefit of Walmart+ is you're paying (well in your case you're not but you get my point) to not have to go into the stores and bear eyewitness to the human rights crisis you're creating by shopping at Walmart. Fair statement?

Absolutely. Walmart+ allows you the pricing benefits and economy of scale that Walmart depends on without having to actually interact with their stores and their culture. That is its greatest benefit. And honestly, with Amazon pricing these days (and degradation of “two day shipping”), a lot of what you need can be had for lower prices with similar or better ship times from Walmart+.

My biggest beef with Walmart is its corporate culture, in and out of its stores. But that’s not the point of this thread, so I’ll leave that be for now. I use it because I have it, and it does have its benefits. I would love for my morals to take priority over Walmarts pricing as it did for most of my life, but inflation has made parts of Walmarts business model too hard to pass up these days.

Never knew about the In-Home delivery, 40 a year is cheaper than the tips since they do add up quick.

Just like @AlexMac89 mentioned, we too have it through Amex Platinum, and we love it, especially the free 2-day shipping!
