Planning to shop at Walmart this weekend? Think again.
Yahoo! Finance spoke with our consumer expert Samantha about which day of the week you should shop at the retail giant for the best overall experience.
“Monday and Tuesday mornings are great times to shop at Walmart. Many Walmart stores receive new shipments and restock their shelves over the weekend,” she said.
“By Monday or Tuesday, they are more likely to have their stock fully replenished, making it an ideal time to find a wide selection of products and fresh items, including produce, dairy products and meats,” Samantha added. “Shopping early in the morning can also help you avoid big crowds and create a less hectic shopping experience as well.”
