    Dafuq is a Walmart+

    Is that like a Walmart but with extra weirdos from your local community?

      I have a Walmart+ subscription, literally the only thing I’m subscribed to (beyond utilities or whatever).

      Why?

      I’m disabled, live off of only disability, my car got stolen.

      Walmart accepts SNAP, and a + subscription gets you free, same day deliveries from your local store, as well as free 3 day shipping for something they retail but don’t have in stock at the moment at your local store.

      Very, very useful for groceries when you have no means to get to a grocery store.

      A subscription costs a bit less than $15 bucks a month, and deliveries cost $10 bucks minimum each time otherwise.

      … Had I a car, I’d hobble to food banks. But I don’t, and am basically immobile, and still require food to not die.

      You know all those meal kit delivery plans you see everyone advertising on their youtube videos?

      Yeah, none of them (that I’m aware of) accept SNAP, even though they easily could, as they’re not sending you hot food.

        Instacart, Doordash, and Amazon all claim to take SNAP, but I can’t actually verify that, as I don’t qualify for SNAP.

          Doordash only picks SNAP food from basically gas stations, good luck ordering fresh fruit and produce from Amazon.

          Instacart does do pickup from some local grocery stores that take SNAP, kind of, barely, but thats waaaay outta my budget.

      Walmart+ is to Walmart as Amazon Prime is to Amazon.
