Grocery store subscriptions for "free" shipping. Do you guys use them? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Compare the prices online and in store. Some places jack up the prices of products for these services to hide the true cost.

I usually make a shopping list through their website, then use it while I'm in the store. Prices seem on par, although, availability (in the store) is often hit and miss.
