10 Items You Should Stop Buying at Walmart

2. Gift Cards

It seems convenient to grab a gift card at Walmart while you’re already shopping, but many customers regret this choice. Reports of gift cards being tampered with or even drained before they’re activated at checkout have surfaced online. The hassle of trying to get Walmart to fix the issue usually isn’t worth it.

Smart Swap: Buy gift cards directly from the retailer’s website or through trusted online sellers like Amazon. You’ll reduce the risk of fraud and ensure your gift actually works.
