10 Things You Think Are Cheaper at Walmart—But Aren't

Furniture

Just because a piece of furniture—from a bed frame to an end table—is inexpensive, that doesn't mean it's necessarily a great deal. "If you're redecorating, do your research before you snag the cheapest piece of furniture you can find," says Cruze. Julia Ramhold also notes that much of the furniture is made of "MDF (medium density fiberboard) or particle board, and neither material is made for the long-haul."

While the price tag for furniture might be cheapest at Walmart, you should think about the quality and how long it will last. "If it's not going to hold up for at least a few years, you might wind up spending more money in the long-run."

Instead, advises Cruze, try searching for items through an online retailer like Overstock.com, since they typically don't have the overhead costs that brick-and-mortar stores have. "Or," she says, "you could consider saving a little while longer to purchase something that will last." Polite people will never do these things at Walmart.
