6 Household Items You Should Always Buy at Walmart To Save Money
Buying "cheap" can save you money, but sometimes that means you have to sacrifice quality. Thankfully, Walmart's must-have household essentials are competitively priced and are surprisingly high in quality, according to shoppers.
Walmart offers products from well-known national brands, but its Great Value and Equate store brands are often compared to their pricier name-brand counterparts. Here are the top household items you should always buy at Walmart to save money.
1. Toilet Paper
Almost every Great Value toilet paper product has thousands of positive reviews on Walmart.com. If you're looking for the most bang for your buck or a cheaper alternative for septic systems, the pack of 16 Great Value 1,000 sheets per roll of toilet paper is only $11.62, which comes out to only 7.3 cents per 100 sheets.
Another popular one is the Great Value Ultra Strong toilet paper with the bunny on the packaging. This pack includes 12 rolls and is only $11.88 right now, down from $13.38.

2. Cotton Swabs
You can find packages of Equate cotton swabs in various sizes. A pack of 500 is only $2.18, and shoppers say they compare to the name brand. "Why pay more, especially with all the inflation on everything else," wrote one reviewer on the company's website. "Save money wherever you can."
Reviewers also say the equate cotton swabs are sturdy and don't fall apart during use.
3. Paper Towels
Walmart offers double and triple-roll paper towels from its Great Value brand, starting at $2.38 for a pack of two and up to $15.84 (originally $17.72) for a pack of 12 Ultra Strong Paper Towels. One of the best deals right now is the Great Value Everyday Strong Paper Towels, which comes with four double rolls and is only $3.82.
4. Zipper Bags
Whether you need gallon freezer bags, quart storage bags or snack and sandwich bags for school lunchboxes, Walmart's Great Value brand has it all at a low price. The Great Value box of 100 Fresh Seal Double Zipper Sandwich Bags is only $2.28, and shoppers say this is their go-to food storage bag.
5. Body Wash
Equate is often compared to name-brand products, and shoppers even recommend purchasing the Equate Sensitive Skin Body Wash over Dove products. The twin pack has a combined 44 fluid ounces and only costs $7.98 on Walmart.com. The body wash is paraben and sulfate-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
6. Liquid Dish Soap
Buying Great Value's liquid dish soap in bulk not only saves you money, but shoppers say it compares to Dawn. The 75-fluid-ounce container of Great Value Ultra Original Dish Liquid is only $5.98, which is a fraction of the price of similar products you'd find at dollar stores.
