Walmart (Canada) has started offering subscriptions for “free” shipping for under $10 a month. The cost of gas to go there a few times a month would be more than the subscription fee.

Since I normally bike to get groceries, this isn’t really a factor, but the idea of getting groceries shipped over the winter seems like a nice idea.

Does anyone here use these grocery store shipping subscriptions? Is it worth strategically getting it for a few months out of the year?

    Do a back of napkin math on how much would shipping cost with your last few trips. If it is more then $10 then it seems good on the surface.

      Over the winter, I kind of dread going to stores. It’s just not a pleasant experience. $9 divided by at least 4 grocery deliveries in a month seems like it would work to my advantage.

      The only real issue is whether they’ll pick out poor quality produce, or not. I tend to shop in-store only to ensure that I’m getting fresh fruits and veg. 😂
