AMERICANS are looking to save money any way they can, and a shopper at Walmart might have you covered with several budget finds.

Sometimes, it pays off to go to your local Walmart in search of certain bargains.

One TikToker has revealed a list of items she would only ever look for at Walmart because they are less expensive than any other retailer.

TikToker TheShoppingBestie, otherwise known as Jacquelyn Fricke, has been sharing her shopping hacks and deal finds for a while now on the platform.

Here are several of her Walmart favorites.

1. SHAVING SUPPLIES

Any shaving item is likely going to be more affordable at Walmart.

2. ORGANIC SHAMPOOS

Jacquelyn said she also buys all of her expensive shampoos at the bargain retailer.

And it makes sense why: some of these brands, including Hask Argan Oil shampoo with vitamin E and orange citrus, go for less than $5 at Walmart.

The same brand goes for nearly $7 at Target but other luxury products are as high as $15 for a small bottle.

3. CANDLES

Walmart can also be a great source of home decor including its budget-friendly candles.

“I love their candles, and they’re $4,” Jacquelyn told followers.

If you find yourself always on the hunt for a new scent in your home, it makes sense to shop at Walmart instead of dishing out a $20 premium at a place like Anthropologie.

4. SKINCARE ITEMS

If you have specific high-end skin care needs, Walmart is also the place to shop.

By browsing aisles, you’ll find anti-aging Loreal cream for just $9 alongside Olay's regenerative face wash for just $7.

Typical retail prices for these types of products are at least $30, with some special brand sets going for even hundreds of dollars.

5. TANK TOPS

Just because you buy clothes from Walmart doesn’t mean your style needs to suffer.

In fact, Walmart has a variety of trendy clothing items, including one of which Jacquelyn can’t keep her hands off.

“I’m obsessed with these tanks for only $3,” Jacquelyn said.

The tank tops come in a variety of colors including brown.

MORE WAYS TO SAVE

A key way to find the best deals at Walmart is to use its scanner on the app.

This will unveil the true unmarked prices of clearance items, which are regularly priced higher on shelves.

However, there are several other ways to get the best bang for your buck.

Apps like Coupons.com, Lozo, and Ibotta allow you to look up local sales ahead of time.

Once you've found the sales you like and the other items you need, you should make your shopping list beforehand and stick to it.

This way, you cut down on impulse buying, which all stores are designed to promote.

You may to consider buying store-brand items over name brands too.

This can save shoppers up to 30 percent.

The taste and quality of these goods are unlikely to suffer either.

A market research study by IRi cited by Ramsey Solutions found that 75 percent of respondents thought the quality of store brand items was just as good as major national ones.

Loyalty app programs also routinely offer better deals and discounts than traditional coupons.
