an Walmart’s food, beauty and household private

labels, like Great Value and Equate, are so popular,

84% of us purchase them. And to compete with

Amazon’s new private-label apparel, Walmart

just expanded its lines to include clothing, such

as Time and Tru women’s label and Terra & Sky

plus sizes. They cost less than name brands, plus

Walmart is applying the same high quality stan-

dards to their clothes that they do to their other

private labels—and they’ve recruited specialists to

help. For example, Olympic gold–winning swim-

mer Nathan Adrian helps select swimwear.

Surprise! The clearance section isn’t the only

place you’ll find bottom-dollar deals. For

example, if you’re searching for electronics on

clearance, ask an employee to check inside cabi-

nets or glass cases in the electronics department,

since they may be stored away due to lack of shelf

space, says James. “Items I’ve persona lly seen

at a big discount in these ‘secret’ spots include

Samsung tablets, GPS units, high-end exter-

nal hard drives and Bluetooth speakers. After

some quick research on my smartphone, many

of their prices were below those of Amazon and

Best Buy.” To f ind more low-priced treasures,

“keep your eyes peeled for yellow clearance price

tags throughout the store,” advises Morgan.

“Sometimes, you find clearance items mixed in

with the regularly priced items.” And if you’re

not looking for them, you might miss them!

You can save up to 5% instantly simply by buying

items online, then picking them up at Walmart

instead of having them delivered. “Wa lmart has

figured out that it costs more to mail items to

your doorstep than it does to ship merchandise

to their physica l store,” says Kyle James, founder

of Rather-Be-Shopping.com. “Because of this,

they started offering a pickup discount for those

willing to grab their purchases in person.” For

a list of thousands of qualifying products, visit

Walmart.com and search “pickup discount.”

The retail giant is known for its low

prices—and you can cut costs even

more with these easy insider tricks

While Walmart recently discontinued its Savings

Catcher program, which gave you cash back if

a competitor offered a product at a lower price

than you paid, you can still get cash back by using

free rebate apps like Ibotta and Checkout51, says

Collin Morgan of Hip2Save.com. Just download,

select cash-back offers and upload a photo of your

receipt. Once you accrue a certain amount, your

money is sent via PayPa l or check. Morgan’s secret

for the biggest savings? “Use more than one app

and pair your cash-back offers with coupons!”
