Lookie here! Jazzy and Jetta need treats. I went to Walmart.com as I usually
do and it now shows on this one page the difference in price between store
and ship. Neener!

I saved 96 cents upon checkout because I agreed to wait till Nov. 2 to get
the cat treats! I actually saved MORE money than I would have had I gone to
the store. Winner winner chicken...cat treats...dinner!

Actually, mine didn't. Maybe it displays differently on different browsers?
Mine showed both the shipped and in store prices when there was a
difference. There wasn't always a difference.

Actually Steve, if you are a frequent order person, the 99$ prime can
help out a lot. There's a big habit to order a few extra things to hit
the free shipping that's involved.

I especially like being able to get some things the next day. It saves me
from having to drive all over looking for things and there are some days
that I simply am too busy with other things to go shopping.
