 Are you one of those people that swear off Wal-Mart or do you think there's some value in the biggest store in the world? Hey there, njroot22.com. It's negative five outside freezing in my movie studio here But today we're doing our top five deals of the week, but it's sort of a variation again I like mixing this up Today it's gonna be about Wal-Mart It's very interesting now We've sort of been on the fence with Wal-Mart and over the years Hating hating them and loving them and you know, we've never seen that website people with Wal-Mart I mean this there's a lot of Wal-Mart's the biggest company in the world pretty much At least as far as we're concerned So they get a very good subject matter for all sorts of publications. We're constantly reinventing ourselves So I think we're giving Wal-Mart a chance again basic and something we realized Over the last year or so is that things that Wal-Mart at their everyday price are most often cheaper then like supermarkets when they're on sale, so Let's just go down a list of things here that are cheaper and then we can call this a day I don't like doing this too long anymore. All the kitchen stuff like Plastic bags or ziploc bags Aluminum foil wax paper all cheaper than pretty much any supermarket out there and they have a pretty much great Selection like you know, for instance, Aldi has some stuff Inline or cheaper than Wal-Mart, but their selection is small so You know why you don't have to wait for the sale at shop, right to get Aluminum foil always cheap so stock up when you get and here's another thing that I've been talking about The Nathan's hot dogs. I love the Nathan's hot dogs taste so good I've been trying to find the sales at places like King's and shop, right? I didn't even bother looking thinking about Walmart, you know They have these Nathan's hot dogs cheaper than anywhere always every day So I'm not even gonna bother looking at the sales at shop, right? Although they do have a good deal this week on their coupon. It's like two dogs two packs of those little mini hot dogs for four bucks That's a no-brainer buy like eight or ten packs. They're so good Hey, what what is this ring below? I've never heard of it never seen it in my life, and this is big like Blob of meat seven bucks for I think two and a half pounds of garlic ring below me I'm gonna try it. Maybe next time I go to Walmart. Anyway, another thing that that Walmart has consistently very good is Organic spices they have a pretty good selection almost they cover almost all of them and their Very competitive. I think they're cheaper than anywhere So if you ever need your spices go to Walmart, you don't have to get the crappy brand They have a I think the great value and they have some other that's their brand and another brand of organic It's it's cheaper than anywhere else And I'm always going on and on about tea because I put tea in mines Mironov spiked sparkling sultans Walmart is should it's not really the place for tea, you know They're Lipton tea wasn't there was nothing the right home about and the yogi tea they they sell It's actually more money than some of the other stores we normally go So we will not be buying our yogi tea at Walmart, but we did pick up a hundred pack of this Bromley Exquisite tea for under two bucks and that was pretty much not a great price, but it was in line with everybody else So keep that in mind another thing is Avocados Avocados we always try to buy them on sale because sometimes they're a rip off like King's charge like $3 for an avocado. They're like 89 cents at the at Walmart every day. I think Seems that way they weren't on sale That's not as good as Aldi when they're on sale We picked up eight avocados at Aldi last week 39 cents a piece and they're great None of them went bad So but if you're just out and about don't feel like going to another store. You need avocados Walmart is They haven't really cheap another thing they have Is dog food we have two new puppies here, which you're gonna see Weekly I help a weekly video series about our dogs growing up and you're gonna be able to watch them over the years But our breeder recommended this pedigree puppy food because they're used to it And we were picking up at one Walmart for 67 cents a can and then this other Walmart down in I don't know where the hell it is Branchburg or whatever that is Manville, I can't remember anymore. There were 73 cents like why why is the price? Why does the price change between war months? That's something that's always annoyed me I'm sure there's an answer court somewhere on the Google brand paper towels the Walmart brand of paper towels is Sort of like the house brand of bounty And I have to say they're just as good as the Aldi maybe even a little better than now They're like point one cents more per square foot, but they're a good deal It it you need paper towels no sense to go to another store just buy them at Walmart said the toys Now I do what a lot of people do now It's like if I'm at the store and I see a toy for like 15 or 30 bucks or whatever I'll go on my Amazon app and scan the barcode and See if I can get cheaper like all these toys we've been picking up Have always been cheaper at Walmart than online, which is pretty pretty incredible Something to keep in mind You know, obviously you're splitting hairs when you get down to the dollar or two level But if you have to buy 10 or 20 different things and you could save two dollars each It does make sense to buy online plus you're at the schlepping home, but whatever and lastly Kids shoes I highly recommend nobody spends top dollar on kids shoes I actually seen somebody spend like a hundred over a hundred dollars on on a pair of shoes for a kid three-year-old Why they could be done in in in six months or less Unless you sell them for consignment or you plan on having a whole lot of kids and you can the hand me down This thing is good, but we got these boots for 18 bucks They're light and pretty warm and then you can get these hunter boots for 28 bucks. They were heavy and I I didn't see the the reason to spend the extra 10 bucks But the only time you really do want to invest a little money In your kids is to keep them warm. So if you're going to buy an El Chippo jacket, they're going to get like frostbite in You should probably invest some money to keep them warm if that's necessary But in the end, I really do think Walmart has a place I think maybe everybody can get like a list of 20 things that the core things I like to call them that are always cheaper at Walmart and buy them there like if you because there's walmart's everywhere Just make a core list. I say 20 make it be 10 for some people 30 for others But you know like the basics the fundamental basics for the house like supplies consumables Maybe some food products I'm not a big fan of most of the things that walmart sells food-wise, but you can find organic stuff Then you can find like those spices. They have healthy things if you if you put your mind to it It might make your life and my life or our lives easier if You just have core places to go where things are always cheap this way you have to worry about the weekly sales What's on sale because the sales as you may know aren't like groundbreaking. You're not going to be able to get a Put an addition on your house with the savings. So I think you got to find your your each store should have a core list of things that they And you check on it once a year to make sure they're still the lowest But find the best things at each store and that's it. So that's it this week's blog I got some fun stuff coming up in the next couple weeks
