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?

Here in the States, Walmart+ gives me free delivery on everything, not just groceries. So I use it to have things like toilet paper, soap, deodorant, cat food and treats shipped. If I get delivery from the store, I still have to spend $35 or they charge a fee. There is also a tip for the driver here. You don't have to tip but I like my eggs still in the shell. Produce is hit or miss but meats seem to be okay. It works for me.

That's interesting. In Canada, Walmart has free shipping on orders $35+ but that excludes groceries.

No tipping. They even say not to on the website 😂
