DoGet Discounts at Walmart?
Unfortunately, Walmart does not offer a military or veteran discount.
The most likely reason why is that Walmart already offers the lowest prices on most common items when compared to major competitors. By shopping at Walmart, shoppers are already receiving “discounts” when compared to typical market prices.
Walmart alo other ways to save throughout the year, including rollback sales, coupons, and more.
