Pretty amazing, though it was just a matter of time. Walmart's online efforts are still weak.

>still weak

VERY weak, IMO.  ...And even when they get you on-site, their cart really sucks (but it is better than Instacart's for groceries).

But I gotta say that in some areas like mine, WMs curbside pickup is the only game in town for online groceries.

Agreed. Every time I've used the site, the look and feel is just off, and that's before you get to search or other issues.

I think blue apron is bringing most of our groceries these days.

I'm told that WM has added a 'recipe prep' option at some stores.  You pick the recipe and they put the ingredients in your cart. You can delete individual items that you already have and don't need.  Pretty cool.  (But they don't separate the individual meal items if you order multiple meals, just pack them all together.)

Interesting, hadn't heard of that. Amy's checking to see if our local store has it.

I order so much from Amazon, I started singing "Sixteen Tons".

South Park nailed it.
