| How To Avoid Walmart Delivery Fee |
Embrace the Power of Plus (Without the Math!)
Walmart Plus, my friends, is your secret weapon. This magical membership unlocks a treasure trove of benefits, including free delivery on almost anything, fuel discounts (because gas prices are about as funny as a mime stuck in a box), and even same-day grocery delivery for those nights when takeout just won't cut it (and neither will venturing into the public wearing yesterday's pajamas). Now, I know what you're thinking: "But isn't Walmart Plus like, super expensive?" Hold on to your hats, because here's the beauty of it all: There's a free 30-day trial. That's a whole month of free delivery, folks! A month of living the high life, of waltzing to your door with your online booty without a care in the world (or a dime spent on delivery fees). Just remember to cancel before the trial ends unless you want to become a permanent Plus member (which, hey, if you find yourself using it all the time, might be worth it!).

The $35 Gambit: A Daring Feat of Minimalism
Maybe the allure of Plus doesn't quite tickle your fancy. Perhaps you're a maverick, a shopper who thrives on the thrill of the hunt (or, more likely, your bank account just screamed in horror at the mention of a subscription). Worry not, my minimalist friend! Walmart offers free delivery on orders over $35. Here's where the real fun begins. Channel your inner Marie Kondo and ruthlessly purge your virtual cart of any non-essentials. Do you really need that fourth spatula? Could that bag of gummy bears hold out for another grocery run? Embrace the challenge, my friends! Turning a $30 order into a free-delivery extravaganza is a victory sweeter than any gummy bear.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.

The Pickup Power Play: A for Effort (and Gas Savings!)
Look, sometimes you just gotta get your hands on that bag of cat litter yesterday (because apparently, your feline overlord doesn't operate on a human schedule). In these dire situations, consider the free pickup option. It's not quite the luxury of delivery to your door, but it saves you the delivery fee and gets you out of the house for a quick jaunt. Think of it as a mini-adventure, a chance to stretch your legs and maybe grab a coffee while you're at it. Plus, you get the added bonus of skipping the self-checkout line, which can be its own special kind of battlefield.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
There you have it, comrades! An arsenal of strategies to vanquish the dreaded Walmart delivery fee. So go forth, shop smart, and remember: a little planning and resourcefulness can make all the difference in your online shopping adventures. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a free month of Plus trial to take advantage of... and a serious sriracha deficiency to address.
