With people staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic, Walmart Grocery pickup and delivery is an essential way of getting fresh groceries and pantry staples while maintaining social distancing.
Walmart Grocery is one of the best grocery delivery services in the market, and in addition to delivery, also offers a pickup option. Customers in over 1,600 cities, can shop from the website or from the app, then select a time slot for either delivery or pickup. Take note that demand is exceedingly high right now and there are few time slots available.

Walmart Grocery first launched by testing in a few cities in 2015, then began adding more cities and regions. Mostly, Walmart Grocery offered online shopping with in-person, same-day pickup. But the service began evolving into a delivery service, as well, in the last year. Currently, it's available in over 1,600 stores.
Walmart Grocery offers fresh groceries, including vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, dairy and bakery goods. In the same order, customers can also shop for other Walmart items such as household supplies, electronics, home furnishings, beauty products, clothing and toys —basically anything Walmart sells at low Walmart prices.
No membership or subscription is required, though you will need a Walmart.com login, which you can create with your email address.
Shopping at Walmart Grocery is easy and simple. Go to the website, grocery.walmart.com, or download the app for iOS or Android.
Enter your location to find nearby available stores and peruse the available time slots. (This is another reminder that time slots are in high demand during the coronavirus pandemic.)

As you shop, your cart will display the minimum order amount you must place (which depends on your local store). Once you're done shopping, you can check out using standard payment options.
