Insulin
One in nine Americans has diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And, the group added, diabetes costs $413 billion a year in medical bills and lost wages.
As with many other medicines, the price of insulin can vary depending on where you get it, and Walmart is committed to making insulin more affordable for those who don’t have insurance. Currently, prices for ReliOn NovoLog insulin and ReliOn NovoLog 70/30 insulin each start at $73. ReliOn Novolin N insulin, a no prescription needed insulin, starts at $25 at the retailer.

Photo Printing
You can get your traditional 4-by-6 photos printed at Walmart, as well as specialty items such as posters and mugs. Everyday prices are lower than those of competitors such as CVS. If ordering from CVS, Walgreens or another store, check the competitors’ websites for valuable coupons to apply to your order. Walmart prices still could be less expensive, even with coupons.
Paper Towels
Walmart beats most local supermarkets on prices for paper towels. The savings extend to Walmart’s private label, Great Value, and national brands when compared to similar house and national brands at the grocery store.
Newborn Diapers
Newborn babies typically go through about 10 diapers a day – it drops to about seven a day by a baby’s first birthday — leaving many parents feeling a pinch in their wallets. Comparing the per-diaper price, stocking up on diapers at Walmart will save you money.
The price for your diaper of choice varies wildly between Walmart and drugstores, especially, and the difference of the per-diaper cost can be as high as 20 cents. At seven diapers a day, that’s $1.40 more when buying at the drugstore, or nearly $10 by the end of the week.

Chromebook Computers
If you need a basic computer for general household use, Walmart is the place to shop with its wide selection of computers. An 11.6-inch Chromebook computer, ideal for email, social media and online shopping, for example, can be half the cost of similarly equipped models at competitors.
Greater discounts can be found if you choose to shop for refurbished electronics. For example, a restored HP 11.6-inch Chromebook is now on sale for $54.99 online.
Aluminum Foil
Compare the price per square foot of aluminum foil, and you won’t find it cheaper than Walmart’s price.
There are good deals to be found on brand names like Reynolds Wrap and the Great Value brand, the latter of which prices 25 square feet of foil for $1.68.
Beach Towels
If you’re dreaming of a vacation in a tropical climate, you might be thinking about essentials you’ll need, and that includes beach towels for the pool, beach or lake. Isn’t it funny how they seem to disappear each summer, and you always need to replenish your supply? You can restock the linen closet with colorful, inexpensive beach towels available on Walmart’s website, even out of season.

The retailer offers a wide variety of vacuums at some of the lowest prices compared to other retail giants.
