This could be huge if they can keep the prices near Walmart levels. This could be a way to get around the negative stigma of shopping at Walmart amongst the hipster / bourgeois / middle class. If they pull this off it will put real pressure on the other grocery providers. On the downside, grocery delivery services have been tried many times in the past 15 years.
- ghaff 10y agoEh. I can't say I've done formal comparison shopping but Walmart groceries don't strike me as being systematically a lot cheaper than other grocery chains on an, ahem, apples to apples basis. Personally, given other options, I'm not sure why I would use Walmart for grocery delivery given that I'd be paying for delivery in some form and their selection and, often, quality are inferior to other stores.
- dsl 10y agoHave a look at Walmart SavingsCatcher. As you walk out of the store, you snap a QR code on your receipt. They check every other store in your area for the stuff you bought and refund the difference on a gift card if they weren't the cheapest. I've used it a few times with grocery delivery.
