The benefits of a Walmart Plus membership are seemingly endless (and comparable to an Amazon Prime account). You get free grocery delivery on orders over $35, which can be a game changer for a busy or carless college student. And although it’s a little early to be thinking about this, you also get access to early Black Friday and Walmart Plus Week deals, which is a huge advantage if you’re looking to make a big purchase.

You’re covered in the entertainment department, as well. The membership includes a Paramount+ subscription, giving you access to the streamer’s extensive library of shows and movies, plus access to all of the UEFA Champions League soccer matches, UEFA Europa League and more.

Also included is fuel discounts, member rewards, free shipping from Walmart.com and more. If you’re not a Prime member (or even if you are), this is a must-have for everyday shopping — and you’ll easily recoup a hefty portion of your membership fee in savings on your first order.

Why You Should Shop at Walmart, Especially for Groceries

According to recent data, Walmart is officially the largest food retail chain in the country — by a huge margin — beating out the likes of Costco, Sam’s Club and Kroger combined. And while there’s nothing wrong, per se, with doing your food shopping at Whole Foods or Safeway, that massive market share and the profits it brings (Walmart pulled in nearly $165 billion in 2022) means Walmart has some significant legs up on the competition.

Greater market share and profits mean better infrastructure. That means they can pay employees to keep the shelves fully stocked at regular intervals, keep a fleet of vehicles in near-constant operation for the freshest and most reliable deliveries, and even offer a wider array of products at a greater range of locations. Put bluntly: Walmart is just better equipped to keep the foods you love in its stores. Pair that with the convenience of grocery delivery, personal shoppers (with curbside pickup) and the fact that Walmart is also a big box retailer outside of the grocery realm (stocking everything from clothing to car tires), and it’s easy to see why this particular brand could be your ideal one-stop shop.
