That's a huge difference. Walmart Plus a lot cheaper. Wow, That's right. Walmart Plus is $21. 28 cents cheaper for the same exact items. But how will they do on delivery? Wal Mart Plus and Amazon Prime both offer free delivery on orders of $35 or MAWR. So we qualify. We're in the middle of the afternoon. We're ordering, and it's saying that today is not available. The first time that I can get it delivered to my door is tomorrow. And so I guess I'm gonna take that first window at 7 a.m. It's a two hour window from seven. AM to nine AM. Yeah, and it's free. So I guess I'm gonna take it. Okay. So was I. Check out here. Wal Mart is saying for them to deliver it to me today. Within two hours, two hours or less. I have to sign up for their express service for $10. So I have to pay extra money to get it delivered today. But for this experiment, we're not doing that. The next time I could get it delivered for free. You got You're getting yours tomorrow morning. The first opening. The first window for me is tomorrow evening at 5 p.m. That's more than 24 hours from now. 5 p.m. To 6 p.m. That's the first available one tomorrow, so I'll do that the next morning. Amazon arrives right on time. Remember, our window is between 7 to 9 a.m. They're at our doorstep with our groceries at 701 AM and the order is accurate with one substitution. Now toe Walmart. The groceries work cheaper, but we have big problems with the delivery. Remember our windows from 5 to 6 p.m. As day turned tonight. No sign of Walmart. Our order stuck on preparing 55 36 6 30. Finally, at 6 54 PM, it arrives almost an hour late and mawr problems. Four items were substituted and three were out of stock entirely. Walmart telling Rossen reports. While this is not the feedback we want to hear, it helps us get better. We're working hard day in, day out toe, offer Maurin mawr delivery availability and ensure that we have the items our customers want in stock. Then we asked Amazon why their groceries were so much more expensive. The company telling us we are continuing to lower our prices for customers across the store, both services still working out the kinks as the grocery wars heat up. By the way, both memberships Amazon Prime and Wal Mart plus offer other perks to Amazon includes entertainment like music, movies and game streaming. WalMart offers discounts on gas, which is pretty cool. We have more information about each service and what they offer on our website right now, Rossen reports dot com Hope it helps back to you.
