9 Top tips for saving money using the Walmart app

Walmart recently launched Walmart+, a membership program for customers. Walmart+ can be added through the app and costs $12.95 per month or $98 for the year. The membership comes with tons of advantages, including free shipping on every order, free local delivery, discounted fuel prices and the option for mobile Scan & Go. Plus, you can try a 15-day free trial to see if the program is right for you before committing. With so many benefits, this program is one of the best ways to save money using the Walmart app.

The app offers maximum flexibility when stocking up on groceries and essentials from Walmart Grocery. Use the app to shop for groceries, other household essentials and even appliances and electronics through the Pickup & Delivery section. You can almost always save on your Walmart orders with one of our promo codes, applicable on orders $50 and up. Choose curbside pickup or have your items delivered directly to your house. Walmart guarantees you’ll be satisfied with the service and offers a $10 reward for referrals.

The most popular sales at Walmart are found in the Rollbacks section, which often has deals for up to 80% off electronics, clothing, seasonal products, beauty and more. It’s easy to find these deals in the app by filtering for Rollbacks. You can narrow your search results to find specific items or look at all the offers, which can lead to some fun finds. Act fast though, because the discounts are temporary.

Use the app to place your order and pick it up the same day with Walmart Pickup, a free contactless service. Instead of paying additional shipping or delivery fees, your order will be sent straight to your local store. To make pickup easier, you can track your order in the app.

If you can’t pick up your order, Walmart's got you covered with free two-day shipping on orders of $35 or more. There are many items that may even qualify for free next-day shipping. This promotion is available in the app and doesn’t require a membership fee.

It’s hard to find a better deal than earning cash back on what you spend. With the Capital One Walmart Rewards Card, you earn 5% on all in-store purchases using Walmart Pay for the first year. When shopping in the app, you’ll also get 5% cash back. There’s no annual fee, and rewards are redeemable for cash, future Walmart purchases, gift cards or travel accommodations. The best part? The card can be stored in the app and used online or in stores. And, because this is a Mastercard, it can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

The Walmart Money Card is a savings card that’s similar to the Capital One Walmart Rewards Card. The difference? You can only use this card at Walmart. Available for sign up through the app, the Walmart MoneyCard offers an introductory rate of 5% cash back on all purchases for the first 12 months. You can earn up to $75 in rewards per year, which will be credited toward the card balance.

All of your prescription medications can be managed through the app, with many popular generic brands costing only $4. Refill your prescription, review your history or transfer it to a different pharmacy. You can also access prescriptions for your family or schedule flu shots. You can even skip the line with the Mobile Express Pharmacy.

While you’re there, pick up medication for your pets, too. You’ll find everything from flea and tick prevention to antibiotics and medicated shampoo for both domestic and farm friends. Signing up for autoship saves up to 30% on your first order and 5% on future purchases.

While you may think the app is only handy for online shopping, it’s also a great tool to use in the store. Use the barcode scanner function in the app to scan the prices of items while you shop. It instantly checks prices, shows what’s on sale and provides product reviews. Or, keep track of your shopping lists, check out store maps and quickly search weekly ads.

When you’re ready to check out, use Walmart Pay in the app for contact-free payment. With Walmart Pay, you can use multiple payment methods like Walmart gift cards and credit or debit cards. Once you complete your purchase, the eReceipt will automatically save to your account.

If you’re really pressed for time, use the Scan & Go option in the app. As you shop, scan your items. When you’re finished shopping, pay with your phone, get your exit pass and head out the door.

These are a few of the many ways to get that extra bang for your buck using the Walmart app. With more than 5,000 stores nationwide and an app chock full of benefits, Walmart’s making a strong play to save you both time and money.
