    Start with whichever store you use

    If you already shop Walmart weekly, Walmart+ is the obvious pick — $98/year for free delivery on every order, plus Paramount+ included. If you're a long-time Amazon Prime member, just turn on Amazon Fresh — already included. Don't pay for both unless you genuinely use both. Try the free trial first, set a calendar reminder to cancel if not using it.
