#6 Mixed Nuts
If you’re in a pinch and you have to get these nuts or seeds stat, then you’re okay getting them from Walmart. Otherwise, the best course of action would be to avoid getting them from the supercenter, as many experts online have shared that they think it’s a bit squirrelly. That is, in true frugal fashion, you can find them for the same quality (if not even better at times) at much better prices at other stores.
Some of them are good, and you aren’t going to end up catching anything if you get your seeds and nuts from here, but why pay about $1.50 more per pound when you can get them cheaper elsewhere? Places like Trader Joe’s or Aldi have better deals, and you can use the money you save on other products!
And don’t live with the impression that the grass is always greener on the other side! If you’re a frequent Target shopper you may want to avoid these items!

Yes produce…it’s never very fresh…
Target is not a good alternative. I boycott Target at all cost.
I agree with you. Thanks a lot for this article. Much appreciated.
I disagree with your assessment on the produce. Celery bought at Tops Market is always bitter, wind up tossing it. Celery at Walmart has always been great! Lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, blueberries, tomatoes etc. are usually much cheaper and the quality is great!
I have never gotten fresh produce at Wal-Mart!!!
Nevermind- it seemed to work after I left a comment 🤦🏼♀️
I do most of my shopping at Aldi! They generally have the best prices!
Go to another named brand grocery store and you’re paying quite a bit more for the same products. I wonder if they’ll drop their prices when the economy gets back to normal, hahaha
I totally disagree with the article. WalMart in our area has much better prices than Giant or Publix…and we have never been disappointed with their produce and buy it regularly.
After limiting my exposure to people during the Covid pandemic, I’m continuing my shopping at Kroger, Publix (for sale items), and Amazon.
I can’t believe they left off bread & bakery items. The vendors for the Walmart I worked at routinely stocked the shelves with bakery items that had 3 days or less until expiration because Walmart insisted on getting the lowest prices.
BUT the absolute worst item at Walmart is shoes. Look at the shoes worn by employees. They aren’t from Walmart. The employee discount doesn’t entice them to buy that garbage.
The fact is, you are taking a chance of getting bad merchandise no matter what because they buy items that fail other companies’ quality control and knowingly put defective merchandise on the sales floor because, as I was told, “It’s up to the customer to find defects”.
HAPPY SHOPPING AND WELCOME TO WALMART!
I have seen where Walmart has brussel sprouts which were actually products of the USA so I was just thrilled. I also agree with Phyl. I’ve never gotten bitter celery at WM but have at many other stores.
I have been in Walmart when everything in the produce dept looks great, the next time I’m there a month later I just have to walk by it.
Here in TX HEB is the most amazing grocer. They have beautiful produce……most of the time ……. but there here have been a few times when I couldn’t believe they even had the items out for sale. I’m talking several vegetables so I was very disappointed but I wouldn’t dis them. If a business makes me happy 90% of the time, I’ll give them a good review. Maybe trucks were held up in traffic, broke down, whatever. I’m good.
