Like many people, I have been doing more and more (and more) online shopping. For years, that has meant Amazon. But I have noticed in the last few months that if I run a price comparison, increasingly I am finding better prices at Walmart.com than Amazon.com. I bought my wife some sunscreen (a particular brand that she likes, albeit expensive) a few weeks ago. Walmart.com's price was more than 50% less than what I found at Amazon.
Shopping at Walmart.com has a few other nice advantages. I start at cashbackmonitor.com and go through a shopping portal. There are usually many portals that provide a small reward for linking to Walmart.com, so this gives me the chance to earn a few miles or cashback or refresh an award program that might be expiring soon. The only portal that I can use for Amazon is JetBlue.
Amazon does have the advantage that I can buy Amazon gift cards at an office supply store with my Ink Cash card. I don't know any way to do that for Walmart.com except when WalMart is a quarterly bonus category (on the Chase Freedom, for example).
Anyway, a much better price beats a few points. I'm suggesting you check Walmart.com before you click the Purchase button at Amazon.
