If you've been relying on Amazon for your online shopping, it's time to take a more serious look at Walmart's selection. "Prices at Walmart might be lower than those at Amazon, so I always suggest that shoppers compare prices before checking out, says smart shopping expert Trae Bodge. "Walmart also has a dizzying number of proprietary brands, including Athletic Works, Equate, Mainstays, and Hometrends, and some of them are very good. At Walmart – or at any multi-brand retailer – private label brands are always worth a look because the retailer will have more wiggle room with pricing than they would with an external brand."
And it's not just Walmart's proprietary brands that stick out in a sea of online shopping offerings, because popular brands and under-the-radar hidden gems are offered at better prices than anywhere else on the web, and with Walmart+, delivery may even be same day. Here are a few of our favorites:
Where else on Earth are you going to find an 18-piece terry towel set under $25? Mainstays is one of Walmart's proprietary in-house brands boasting rock-bottom prices and quality that matches popular mall stores. This great set is worthy of a housewarming gift, some new classic towels for the guest bathroom, or just a design refresh. They come in every popular, on-trend bathroom color from white to teal, gray to black, and oodles of other options in between. Did we mention they arrive next day for most Walmart shoppers? They do, so you can start thinking of tomorrow's bath plan already.
This vegan whitening toothpaste is everything the on-trend hygiene lover wants in a tube, boasting real coconut oil and antibacterial tea tree oil. It whitens naturally, tastes like a fresh minty breeze, and offers better-for-you ingredients and sustainable packaging worth far more than the under-$4 price tag. It's also about 20 percent cheaper than similar skus on Amazon, ships same-day for Walmart+ members, and next day for non-members. That's something to smile about.
You don't have to skip the taste of fresh pancakes oozing with sweet maple syrup just because you've gone keto, which is why the Birch Benders line is one of the best under-the-radar finds on the Walmart website. Each of these little cups microwaves in just a minute to make a gooey, buttery pancake-tasting mug-style cake in a disposable cup. With just 5 grams of net carbs and a grain-free recipe, this is a Keto and low-sugar dieter's best friend, and an easy way to sneak dessert in guilt-free thanks to ingredients like almond and coconut flours.
This is a pet-related miracle, and dog parents should take note. Walmart.com sells Chuckit! Ultra Ball two packs cheaper than we can find anywhere else on the web (over 30 percent off the Amazon price for starters), making this furball favorite an absolute must-buy. They're fun, durable, ship same day or next day depending on where you live, and offer your pandemic puppy endless hours of healthy, stimulating play time.
Skincare lovers, please sit down. We're about to tell you something mind-blowing that just may save you enough money to put yourself through a college (again). You really don't need to spend $135 on the La Mer marula oil, or even $40 on the ever-loved Drunk Elephant marula oil. This Sky Organics organic marula oil is every bit as good, plus completely organic, and under $15 a bottle at Walmart. Plus, the size of this bottle is more generous than some of the Sephora brand versions. You'll save a ton, and stop skimping on using your bottle of precious gold.
If your best friend, a relative, or co-worker is due to have a baby any day, the idea of spending a small fortune on registry items like strollers and car seats may be daunting. This Hello Bello Diaper Cake is just what the yay-you're-having-a-baby doctor ordered though, with adorable boutique-quality styling, 35 newborn diapers, the brand's plant-based baby wipes, a bottle of Hello Bello Shampoo + Body Wash for baby, a matching bottle of bubble bath bursting wit organic aloe vera and calendula, and three adorable baby shower-perfect signs. This brand is a Walmart exclusive, so you won't even be able to find it anywhere else.
This magical scalp serum is just as good as the fancy scalp products you'd find lining salon shelves or being promoted as top sellers at high-end beauty chains, but somehow is less than the price of lattes for you and a friend. We'd like to think it's good karma, but no matter how we got this lucky, you'll be pleased to know it's a Walmart exclusive, ships in a jiffy, and has easy-peasy application that's neither difficult nor messy. It'll hydrate dry scalps, keep flakes at bay, and promote healthy, full hair growth with minimal effort.
If you're already obsessed with Rocco & Roxie treats for your furry best pal, we're on that party train with you. The good news is the brand's iconic stain and odor removing product is available in two sizes via Walmart.com and ships in two shakes of an adorable tail. It's also slightly cheaper at Walmart than some other leading competitors, which makes this product even more exciting than ever.
This is a pretty exciting find, because if you're prone to being extra pandemic-careful by limiting your trips out, finding a regular source of your favorite milk replacement shipped directly to your door at ultra-affordable prices is sort of like being showered with fairy dust and positive dreams. Ringing in at just over two dollars per carton, this Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk is just what your morning coffee, cereal, and smoothies have been craving. Even if you're not normally a fan of alternative milks (that's crazy, get with the times!), this is a great shelf-stable pantry staple to have on hand for emergencies, baking, and healthy living.
No time, patience, or energy to wash your hair over and over in the midst of a socially-distant pandemic? That's cool, we get it, and totally agree. If you're looking for a distinctive upgrade to your dry shampoo game, this COLAB Dry Shampoo Overnight Renew takes only a few seconds to apply before bed so you wake up with fresh, voluminous, and never powdery-looking hair in the morning. It's an industry best-kept secret you'll want to tell your friends about.
