6 Surprising Items Worth Buying at Walmart
Walmart is a store that sells just about everything. From groceries and household items to books and baby clothes, there's not a whole lot you can't get at the retail giant.
However, even if you're a loyal Walmart shopper, you probably tend to purchase items from the same general categories. Therefore, some of the more niche products might not be on your radar.

Even if you do realize Walmart sells certain products, it also doesn't mean you buy them. You might think another store offers a lower price or a higher quality product, but that might not be the case.
Items currently on your shopping list for another store might be available at Walmart for a better value. Getting in the know could allow you to save serious cash, without settling for an inferior product.
Ready to find out what some of Walmart's best-kept secrets are? Here's a look at six items you probably didn't realize you should be buying from the retailer.
Equate Beauty Reviving Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Eye Cream
Price: $7.87
The people have spoken -- the 0.5-ounce Equate Beauty Reviving Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Eye Cream has more than 160 reviews and a 4.3-star rating. Marketed as similar to L'Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream -- but at nearly half its $13.89 price tag -- this ophthalmologist-tested non-greasy eye cream is both paraben and fragrance free.
Comparable anti-wrinkle eye creams at Sephora -- i.e., paraben and fragrance free -- range in price from $24-$75 -- making this one an obvious steal.
