Wal-Mart has earned its reputation as a money-saving store by offering low prices on just about everything. And while no one will doubt Wal-Mart is a great place to save money, that doesn’t mean some of its items can’t be found elsewhere for less.

To help you maximize your savings, GOBankingRates.com asked a variety of experts to list items you should — and shouldn’t — snatch up at Wal-Mart.

BEST WAL-MART DEALS

LEGOS

While kids’ toys in general can be hit or miss at Wal-Mart, the mega-retailer is the place to be if your kid is into Legos, said Regina Novickis of social commerce website Slickdeals.net. Members of Slickdeals post to the website great deals they find, with the best then appearing on the front page. “Over the past year, our deal community of 9 million has front-paged more Legos deals from Wal-Mart than any other merchant, including Target and Toys R Us,” she said.

DISPOSABLE RAZORS

If you’re not into paying a premium for smooth skin, Novickis said Wal-Mart can help with name-brand razors. And savings expert Jeanette Pavini of Coupons.com said her site found Wal-Mart’s prices were up to 50 percent less than drugstores’ prices. “For example, a three-pack of Venus Women’s disposable razors was $6.97 at Wal-Mart and $12.99 at some drugstores,” she said. Pavini also added that Coupons.com offered a dollar-off coupon, making the razors just $5.97.

ORGANIC FOODS

Eating healthy and organic food doesn’t mean you have to pay a high sticker price. Pavini said that Wal-Mart is actually making going organic affordable. “You can find many brand-name organic foods for less,” she said. Coupons.com found organic Heinz ketchup at Wal-Mart for $2.58 compared with $3.69 at the grocery store. And Amy’s Kitchen Soup was $2.25 at Wal-Mart and $3.69 at the grocery store.

WORST WAL-MART DEALS

HDTVs

It’s true that Wal-Mart has low prices on high-definition TVs, but Lori McDaniel, senior content manager of Offers.com, said she doesn’t categorize them as good deals. “Wal-Mart’s HDTVs are at ‘low’ prices because they are the lower-quality versions than those sold elsewhere,” she said. “Get higher-quality at low prices at a warehouse store like Costco.”

NUTS AND SEEDS

It’s a given that nuts and seeds are healthy snack choices, but Wal-Mart’s might not be the healthiest for your wallet, said Novickis. “You’ll find much better deals on nuts and seeds at stores like Aldi and Trader Joe’s.” She added, “On average, Wal-Mart is about $1.50 more per pound for whole almonds than Trader Joe’s, and mixed nuts are about $1 more per bag than at Aldi.”

GIFT CARDS

Gift cards can be a great way to make someone’s day, but Wal-Mart might not be the best place to shop for them, said Novickis. “There’s no need to pay full price for gift cards,” she said. “Shop sites like CardCash.com to find discounted gift cards,” she said. While the discounts vary greatly depending on the merchant, they can be up to 27 percent off, said Novickis.
