Walmart is a great place to shop for some of the best deals you can find. Groceries, home decor, fashion, electronics, and more are all stored in one spot and available at budget-friendly prices.

But they also sell quality, higher-priced items. Their prices are often better than other retailers on these products, and you can stretch your Walmart budget pretty far but still consider them investment pieces.

Here are 12 high-quality items worth spending some money on at Walmart.

Many people overlook their monthly utility expenses as fixed costs. But with small changes, you can see immediate drop in your bills. Here are some tips:

  • Install a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust temperatures
  • Switch to LED bulbs, which use up to 75% less energy than incandescent
  • Wash clothes in cold water and hang items to dry
  • Lower your water heater temperature to 120 degree Fahrenheit

Don't waste money. Remember that every dollar saved on a monthly bill turns into $12 annually.
