That’s why many Montanans know that while Walmart can be convenient, it’s not always the best place to buy everything.

Whether it's because of quality concerns, price markups, or better alternatives found locally, there are certain items you should think twice about before tossing them into your cart at the big-box retailer.

It’s no secret that Walmart dominates retail shopping across the country, offering everything from groceries to outdoor gear at prices that seem too good to pass up.

But as many Montanans will tell you, just because something is cheap doesn’t mean it’s worth buying. From questionable produce to products that simply don’t hold up in Montana’s rugged conditions, some purchases can end up costing you more in the long run.

And let’s be honest—why settle for mass-produced mediocrity when Montana has so many quality alternatives? From locally sourced meats to outdoor gear built to withstand our unpredictable weather, our state has better options than what Walmart’s shelves can provide. Plus, shopping smart means keeping more money in Montana’s economy rather than sending it off to a corporate headquarters miles away.

So before your next shopping trip, take a look at the11 things you should avoid buying at Walmart.

It might just save you some money—and a whole lot of disappointment.

There you have it, were you surprised to see certain items on that list? We sure weren't, though prepaid phones sure have their uses.
