Recently started trialing Walmart Delivery Pass to get next day delivery from local stores. Actually pretty convenient to get my fresh produce, meat, dairy, etc… delivered along with whatever stuff I’d normally order from Amazon with Prime.

I was planning on keeping prime for video but the free shipping is less valuable to me now, but if they’re gonna make the service worse and charge me more for what I had before then I’m just gonna cancel.

Not to rush to Walmarts aid... Their Walmart+ subscription also comes with Paramount Plus.

I'm planning:

- on cancelling Netflix

- Canceling Amazon Prime, slower shipping frequently gives you digital dollars you can use to buy TV shows and music

- Keep using Walmart Plus

I need my groceries, and I don't want to do the shopping. They will pickup about just about anything in the store. I haven't tested the upper limit for size or weight though.

Paramount Plus isn't that great but I don't really want to spend my life watching TV. I just sometimes need a distraction.

Uh I think those digital dollars only show up if you choose slow shipping while you have prime. Just saying.

Are you pressured to tip with Walmart same day though? That’s why I stopped using DoorDash. I hate how expensive tipping makes everything, but I don’t want to be a jerk and not tip when the driver is underpaid.. so I just stopped using it.

FWIW, I've gotten ~~50lb~~ 46lb (grumble) bags of dog food delivered with my Walmart+ order. Haven't seen anything about a weight limit (though I probably wouldn't ask one of the poor contracted delivery people to bring me something huge, like a large piece of flat pack furniture, for example)

Edit: imagine that "50lb" has a strikethrough

You are, but it's set to 10% by default.. I've talked to a few drivers and they say it's not uncommon to get no tip (though obviously it sucks). I usually try to hit around 10%, as best I can (though I've been unemployed for a while now and am struggling to even afford that)
