Are Walmart Great Value products actually good quality for the price?

Are Walmart Great Value products actually worth it or are they just cheap for a reason? I've been trying to slash my grocery budget lately since my rent in Austin just spiked another $200 and I'm honestly struggling to keep my weekly food spend under $75. I did a bit of digging online and saw a couple articles saying that for things like milk and eggs it literally doesnt matter because they often come from the same regional bottling plants as the expensive brands but then I saw some other people on a different forum saying the quality control for their canned goods and frozen meals is super hit or miss. Like one person said their frozen veggies were mostly stems which sounds gross lol. I'm mostly worried about the staples like flour, spices, and maybe their cleaning stuff like dish soap or trash bags. Does the - you get what you pay for - rule apply here or is the name brand stuff just a total scam? I dont want to buy a giant pack of GV trash bags only to have them rip every single time I take the bin out but money is tight right now so I'm tempted to just swap everything over. Anyone have specific items they swear by or others that are a total skip?

Which browser extension is best for tracking Walmart price drops?

I'm trying to grab a patio set for my new place before summer ends. I saw Honey mentioned but isnt that just for codes?

Then someone said CamelCamelCamel but Im pretty sure thats just Amazon only. My logic was to find a tracker that actually pings me for Walmart drops specifically... what do you guys actually use?

Ive been coding for about 12 years now mostly backend stuff but honestly this latest project at work is driving me up a wall. Its this massive legacy Java migration and my boss is breathing down my neck about the timeline since were based in Seattle and the competition is cutthroat right now. Ive got two months to flip this entire service and the technical debt is just... its a nightmare. Ive been using GitHub Copilot for a few months but it keeps hallucinating methods that dont exist in our internal libraries so Im starting to lose trust in it. My logic was that it would speed up the boilerplate but Im spending more time debugging the AIs fixes than just writing it myself.

So I was thinking maybe theres something better out there for actual refactoring or understanding complex logic flows? I have been looking at:

Cursor (seems popular but Im worried about losing my IntelliJ setup)

Sourcegraph Cody for better context recognition

Just sticking with Claude 3.5 manually inside the browser

Im willing to drop like $50 a month if it actually works and saves me time. Is anyone else using something specific for legacy code mapping or deep refactoring that isnt just a glorified autocomplete? Im getting really anxious about this deadline and I feel like Im drowning in spaghetti code...

Does Walmart offer extra discounts for using their mobile app for orders?

So Im looking to grab a new Ninja air fryer before my sister visits this weekend, budget is about $100 max. Ive been poking around online and saw some people mention a WMTAPP25 code or something similar for first-time app users, but then other forums say that expired months ago.

I also read that prices in the app can sometimes be lower than in-store but then I saw a post saying Walmart doesnt even do that anymore? My logic was that theyd want to push people to the app for the data, so maybe theres some hidden discount Im missing? Just trying to figure out if its worth the storage space on my phone or if I should just use the website...

What is the best app for tracking Walmart price drops?

Im trying to get a new 55 inch TV for my apartment in Denver since Im moving next month and my budget is super tight like under 400 bucks tight. Ive been refreshing the Walmart app like every ten minutes because prices there are so random lately and I know they fluctuate like crazy during the week. I read online that CamelCamelCamel is the gold standard for this stuff but then I realized that is only for Amazon which doesnt help me here since the specific model I want is a Walmart exclusive.

I also looked into Honey but some people on Reddit were saying it doesnt actually track the local store stock prices very well and just focuses on the main website which is super confusing to me because my local store usually has different tags than the site. I am honestly getting so anxious that Im gonna miss a flash sale or something while Im at work and by the time I check my phone it will be sold out again. Is there an actual reliable app that sends real-time push notifications the second a price drops specifically for Walmart items? I really need something that works for the online site and hopefully tracks price history too so I know if I am getting a real deal or not...

Ive been devving for years but this new project in Seattle has a brutal 2-week deadline and my usual workflow just isnt keeping up. Copilot keeps hallucinating on our legacy codebase and its driving me crazy. Which AI tools actually help with refactoring complex junk without breaking everything? Im getting really desperate here...

How can I get notifications for price drops at Walmart?

Okay so I am literally stressing out because I need to get this 55 inch TV for my new place in Columbus before I move in on the 1st and my budget is super tight like I really cant go over 800 bucks including tax. I know prices at Walmart fluctuate like crazy and I keep checking the page every hour but its driving me insane and I feel like I'm gonna miss the deal while I'm at work.

I was looking into a few ways to automate this and I'm torn between using Honey or just trying to rely on BrickSeek. My logic was that Honey is easy since I already have the extension but then I read somewhere that their Walmart tracking isnt always real-time and might lag by a few hours which would be a disaster if it sells out. Then there is BrickSeek which everyone says is the gold standard for Walmart inventory but the interface is so confusing and I'm not sure if the free version even sends push notifications? Or maybe there is some feature in the actual Walmart app I'm missing? I tried looking but it just seems to show me ads.

I really need something that will ping my phone immediately the second that price hits my target or I'm gonna end up paying full price and then I wont be able to afford a couch... what do you guys actually use that works for them? I'm leaning toward BrickSeek but the learning curve is making me nervous.

Are there any free Walmart price trackers for grocery items?

Im trying to cut down on my food bill since things in FL are getting so expensive lately and my budget is strictly 150 a week for my family. I spent some time looking online for something that tracks prices but I keep running into CamelCamelCamel which is only for Amazon and Honey but that doesnt really seem to track the actual grocery items like milk or bread well at all. Its mostly for tech or clothes stuff. I just want to know when the prices for staples actually drop so I can buy more at once. Are there any actual free trackers that work for Walmart grocery items specifically?

What is the best Walmart price tracking extension for Chrome?

Ive been a big price tracker nerd for years now, usually sticking to Keepa for my Amazon hauls but lately I've been hitting a wall with Walmart. Im trying to snag a specific Blackstone griddle for a huge family cookout we have planned for the 4th of July, my budget is pretty firm at $300 but the prices are jumping all over the place. My old extension seems to be failing to scrape the data properly since Walmart updated their UI a few weeks back, it just shows no history found. I really need something for Chrome that handles their dynamic pricing shifts better. Anyone found a tracker that actually works with the new site layout?

How do I set up price alerts for Walmart items?

Beem FA — Fri, 01 May 2026 19:25:45 +0000

My sons birthday is in two weeks and I gotta get this specific Acer laptop for school but my budget is super tight right now. I've been checking the Walmart site constantly but the price keeps swinging by like fifty bucks. Its making me so anxious.

I did some googling and saw people mention Honey or something called Capital One Shopping but I honestly cant tell if they work in real time. I also checked the Walmart app settings but I dont see an actual price alert bell anywhere? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Does anyone know a reliable way to get an email or text the second the price drops?
