Is walmart your go-to for all things
grocery with its impressively low prices it can be hard to resist picking up just
about everything there however there are some items that you
probably shouldn't put in your cart during your next visit
find out which with this list of 10 things
not to buy at walmart right now maple syrup you like sugar
huh is there sugar in syrup whether you're pouring it on waffles or pancakes
or slipping a bit into your coffee maple syrup is an integral part of
breakfast with how often you use it as a topping it can get
pretty expensive to buy authentic maple syrup especially if you're getting it at
walmart with some walmart locations charging up
to 56 cents per fluid ounce of maple syrup
it can be hard to justify spending that kind of money on something that you
or your children are bound to pour on top of any breakfast food with reckless
abandon if you're okay with resorting to the
fake stuff walmart also carries artificial maple syrup but
any breakfast food fan can agree that real maple syrup tastes a million times
better as it turns out you can find great deals
on tree-tapped maple syrup in other stores with costco being the most
reasonably priced of the bunch costco also sells their maple syrup by
the gallon which is great if you have a lot of kids
or if you're just guilty of pouring way too much syrup on your waffles every
morning oh go girlfriend i'm your mother come on
thorny you're losing to the rookie it's embarrassing
great value snack cakes now eat it
though a visit from little debbie can be a blessing after a breakup or a hard day
walmart's great value take on what's supposed to be a saccharine snack
has been described by consumers as downright nightmarish
when customers are comparing the taste of what's supposed to be a moist sponge
cake to plasticy sand you know you've done something
completely wrong while walmart's generic version of hostess twinkies have been
dubbed as completely nauseating by the unfortunate souls who dared to consume
them the great value brownies are thought of
as being even worse priced within the ballpark of three
dollars they're temptingly cheap but shouldn't be purchased unless you
intend on testing your stomach's endurance
with one customer comparing them to plato and another awarding them the
lofty title as the worst thing they've ever eaten it's
a wonder that walmart still manages to keep these on their
shelves snack cakes are pretty cheap to begin with
so you're probably better off buying the brand name to start with before opting
for this horrific alternative
the water's boiling organic milk badger milk girl
she seems nice though buying organic milk is a great way to get great tasting
milk without all the added chemicals and hormones
it also comes at a higher price than regular milk due to the expenses
involved in raising dairy cows from keeping fewer cows in pastures to
milking them at natural production levels
it's more expensive for farms to produce organic milk which is why consumers
often get charged a premium for it this is to be expected at most grocery
stores but walmart's refusal to mark down their organic milk selection stands
out from the rest if you're looking to buy organic check
out stores like aldi or trader joe's both of which regularly one-up walmart
by charging up to 30 cents less per gallon if that wasn't enough
even the infamously expensive whole foods manages to beat walmart's prices
every now and again downright embarrassing for walmart
especially when whole foods has established a reputation for being
completely ridiculous with its pricing when a company often nicknamed by
consumers as whole paycheck is offering better deals than you
in the dairy aisle it's time to step up is the baby hungry
oh he should be nursed hey lightning mercy
vitamins give them to me you want my vitamins
you want all my vitamins yes you might think that gummy vitamins are a pretty
safe bet to buy at walmart but it's probably better to skip looking for
supplements at this major department store when pitted against other
retailers that also sell vitamins and supplements such as
gnc target and walgreens walmart ranked last
likely because of the deceiving packaging of vitamins often sold at
walmart though the packages of items at walmart appear to contain
certain natural ingredients from specific plants they
weren't exactly as advertised investigations led by the new york
attorney general exposed that many of walmart's supplements contained dna from
plants that weren't even listed on the label
this is definitely concerning for people who use supplements regularly
and probably reason enough to stay away from walmart if you're looking for
safe reliable vitamins however cost seems to factor in too
despite walmart claiming to have the best prices their vitamins are a bit
pricier when compared to some others on the market
walmart also doesn't have much variety in their selection which can be tough if
you're looking for a specific vitamin or supplement
you're likely to find a wider range of reliable and inexpensive options on
amazon where you can also opt for auto renewal
and save a few extra bucks you're crazy i'm not crazy i'm just thirsty why don't
you go to hell bargain coffee brands i was all out so i
use the coffee that you guys brought
it's understandable that some people may not be loyal to one coffee brand but if
you're looking for the best price for bargain coffee
you won't find it at walmart value brands like folgers and maxwell house
can often be found elsewhere for cheaper meaning that you
won't be getting the best deal possible if you shop for it at walmart
since bargain brands are inexpensive to begin with
it makes sense that walmart wouldn't mark them down as much as they tend to
do with their other food and drink items allowing them to pocket a bit more money
from what they're selling if you're a fan of bargain brands you
can find them at better prices on amazon or at other discount stores like aldi to
give you the most bang for your buck however people who enjoy drinking from
high-end coffee brands can definitely look to walmart for some
great deals with brands like starbucks and pete's coffee often getting marked
down from their originally expensive price points
coffee junkies to enjoy a particular blend can get a great deal on their
favorite brands walmart has a pretty big coffee
selection to choose from so you're likely to find what you're looking for
if you're hunting down something specific
all in all coffee at walmart is pretty hit or miss when it comes to getting the
best deal so be sure to check their website before shopping to make sure
you're getting your caffeine fix at the best price possible
you got this coffee rotisserie chicken bring me one of those chickens though
walmart's rotisserie chickens are temptingly cheap their price does not
excuse their subpar flavor walmart chickens cost the same at costco
around five dollars but weigh up to two pounds less than
their wholesale competitors not only that but numerous online
sources cite that costco's chickens taste a whole lot better than walmart's
with one particularly scathing review describing the taste of walmart's
rotisserie birds as burnt salty meat in contrast costco has
gained a notorious fan base for their chickens with their inexpensive and
delicious rotisserie being mentioned all over websites like facebook and
reddit with costco's devotion to keeping their chickens fresh
it comes as no surprise that they've gained a cult following
by contrast some people say that walmart will keep their chickens out for more
than two hours before selling them making them
taste dry and stale despite their high sodium content although
costco has proven that it's completely possible to make a
cheap chicken taste delicious walmart has yet to follow in their footsteps
making their rotisserie taste pretty awful by comparison
if you're still looking to buy chicken from walmart get it raw
and cook it at home chances are it'll taste better that way
good chicken too great value mac and cheese
boxed mac and cheese has become one of the most hotly debated topics in the
world of inexpensive meals among kids and grown-ups alike although you could
make a case defending just about any boxed mac and cheese the great value mac
just doesn't seem to hold its own against any other brand customers report
walmart's take on what is supposed to be a classic inexpensive meal is having a
weird and sour taste with some even claiming that it tasted
like sawdust yikes although fans of boxed mac and
cheese are all too familiar with that slightly chemical taste that comes with
eating cheap meals no one can justify a sour sawdusty
flavor factor in the radioactive orange color
that tastes completely artificial instead of cheesy and you have a new
level of bad mac and cheese making the great value mac
and cheese a very disappointing buy for hungry college students and kids alike
if you can pay the extra money you're much better off getting the annie's
organic mac and cheese which customers describe as tasting
worlds better than its competitors though it may be one of the more pricey
options in terms of quick meals the cheesiness and lack of artificial
flavors and annie's mac make it completely worth a dollar or so more
than its great value competitor
organic produce not when i got this big juicy cantaloupe wedge to keep me
company it's hard not to want to do all your
grocery shopping at walmart considering the department store manages to provide
its customers with such convenient and tempting deals
however the produce section at walmart definitely leaves something to be
desired both in terms of the prices of products and the quality of the fruits
and veggies themselves you might think that walmart's new
campaign of selling fresh organic and in some places locally grown produce
may sweeten the deal but this only gives america's favorite
superstore the excuse to charge a pretty hefty premium for no pesticides or
hormones in the food they're selling you in most supermarkets organic food does
tend to cost more so this shouldn't come as much of a
surprise except for the fact that walmart loves
to mark down just about everything except their produce aisle for the
quality you're getting which has been described by customers online as being
mediocre at best you'd be better off choosing trader
joe's or aldi for cheap and organic foods
better yet you can support another business and buy your fruits and
vegetables from a local farm or orchard store in your area where you can
probably find the same produce or better for a lot less than what
walmart is charging that way you can help out some small
businesses and be confident about where your food is coming from
without paying a small fortune for your organic
groceries there's been a mistake you've accidentally given me the food that my
food eats jumbo raw shrimp stew shrimp
salad shrimp and potatoes walmart's super cheap bagged shrimp may
be tempting at first but there's a bit of a dark story behind
that ridiculously inexpensive price tag if you take a closer look at the country
of origin listed on the back of the bag you'll
likely find that these cheap crustaceans originated in thailand
where shrimp farming is notoriously linked to the exploitation of workers
including child labor these workers are paid extremely low wages and are often
treated as commodities by their overseers
which is why the product they produce costs so little if that wasn't bad
enough shrimp farmed in asia and central
america are also raised in unsanitary conditions and given antibiotics
these hormones oftentimes carry unsafe chemicals that may leave residue in the
shrimp's bodies and can cause potential health concerns
if consumed though several news articles have been
published about this concerning topic walmart continues to carry this
inexpensive item in their stores and as a result is essentially turning a
blind eye to the whole ethics part of this debacle
if your budget allows it'd be a much better idea to pay a few extra dollars
for shrimp that have been raised in better conditions
that way you'll be getting a higher quality product without contributing to
the exploitation of workers overseas it's important to keep the origins of
your food in mind when shopping at any cheap department store
those good deals have to come from somewhere and sometimes it might just be
at the expense of another human being's livelihood let's
put another shrimp on the barbie let's not
great value big burly breakfast sandwich you won't accept a guy's tongue in your
mouth and you're going to eat that can i eat during a time when we've been
staying indoors as much as possible it's completely
understandable to want some comfort food to cope with the woes of quarantine
however the great value big burly breakfast sandwich is just
way too much even on the gloomiest of mornings
the sandwich contains a whopping half pound of bacon on top of fried eggs that
have been smothered in highly processed american cheese
all shoved between two six slices of cinnamon french toast
this sounds pretty mouth-watering but starting off your morning with the big
burly breakfast sandwich might as well be like playing russian roulette with
your arteries this breakfast beast has a whopping
twelve hundred milligrams of sodium which uses up more than half your daily
intake even worse it has seven grams of
saturated fat which is once again wasting half your daily
intake on your first meal of the day with a nutrition label as shocking as
this one you'd probably be better off eating
literally anything else to start your day walmart may not be the place to buy
the healthiest foods around but they definitely have better
breakfast options than the great value big burly breakfast sandwich
for the sake of your lunch and dinner and your cardiovascular health you
should probably pick something with a more modest
sodium and fat content to grab for breakfast
