QUESTION
Is Walmart Plus worth it in Canada?
Short answer: probably not in Canada unless you order delivery from Walmart very often. For most shoppers, a Walmart Canada delivery subscription/pass is only worth it if you regularly place home-delivery orders and the fee savings clearly outweigh the membership cost. If you mostly do pickup or shop occasionally, you’ll usually save money by skipping it.
Typical value guide (Canada):
- Occasional shopper: about $0–$15/month in value from a subscription; usually not worth it.
- Regular delivery user: about $15–$35/month in value; might be worth it if the subscription is priced below that.
- Heavy delivery user: $35+/month in avoided fees; more likely worth it.
One caveat: Walmart Canada’s plans, eligibility, fees, and minimum order rules can change, so check the current Walmart Canada checkout and completed listings/promos before deciding.
Rule of thumb: if you’d otherwise pay more in delivery fees over a month or two than the subscription costs, it can be a good deal. If you only order a few times a year, it probably isn’t.
What to check before buying
- current monthly vs annual pricing
- minimum order threshold for free delivery
- whether extra service fees still apply
- whether tips are expected
- whether your area is eligible for the delivery option
Bottom line
For most Canadians, Walmart Plus-equivalent value is modest unless you’re a frequent delivery customer. If you mainly use pickup, it’s usually better to skip it.
