The Rapid Reload Roundup: This is your classic, can't-go-wrong option. Head to the customer service desk or MoneyCenter at your local Walmart, brandish your card like a magic wand (because let's be honest, that's what it is about to become), and tell the cashier how much cash you want to add (between $20 and $1,000, because who are we to judge your stockpiling habits?). There's a small fee of $3, but hey, that's a small price to pay for the sweet satisfaction of a full cart. Pro Tip: If you're feeling peckish, grab a hot dog while you wait. You'll be a multitasking marvel!
