Starting April 19 (2017) Walmart will begin rolling out a new feature, if you select store pickup for a purchase, you may be able to get a small discount on the purchase price. In other words, they are paying you to do the delivery to yourself 🙂 This feature will slowly ramp up, they are planning to include 1 million items by the end of June. As usual, YMMV depending on product availability and location. This will be offered on the 48 contiguous US States.
I am guessing this is a feature that got inspired by the Jet team, which has all kids of nickle-dimer discounts on the Jet website (pay less if you forgo returns, pay less if you pay with debit card, pay less if you buy in quantity, etc). I don’t know if the other Jet features will make it to Walmart, but for now, if you are fond of store pickup, you may be able to save!

A sobering reminder here for those of us who live in states with robust sales taxes because the citizenry would welcome in a round of Bubonic plague if it was a choice between that and even a 1 percent state income tax. If you’re price shopping, don’t forget to factor in the sales tax.
Taxes and more taxes, I’m surprised they are not taxing the taxes, another AMT alternative 🙂 I shouldn’t be giving them ideas!
