If you're searching for easy ways to save money in retirement, here's a helpful hint for Walmart shoppers who are living on a fixed income. Even though our top July buys are priced just right, you can still do more to cut costs. Use the retailer's app to find discounts or new rollbacks, and look for clearance items on end caps throughout the superstore.
