VGC Cheaper at WM than Grocery
Hi everyone, just a heads up - at my local grocery store, VGC cost $5.95/$500, but at WM the cost is $4.95/$500. The only difference being that my local grocery store can ring up multiple cards on with a single swipe, while WM requires a separate transaction for each VGC (an issue is you wish to ring up odd amounts).

This is very YMMV and not all stores have these.

At my walmart they only have Vanilla MASTERCARDS, no vanilla visa. They have other $500 max variable visas though. At all my area walmarts the variable load gift cards are all in different checkout aisles, up near the very top, often above candy. Different ones on different aisles so you have to look around.

it's hit and miss- from store to store and cashier to cashier- as is often the case with ms.
i buy them when i can simply for diversification of my spend- to spread around to a different store. also just seems intuitively more 'normal' to spend $485 at walmart vs a drug store.
