Browse the entire walmart.com site, view back to school product ratings and reviews, and look up deals at your local Wal-Mart -- all on your smartphone.
The discounter's apps incorporate GPS technology that will help you find a nearby store and check if a product you want is available there.
Or buy products directly from your smartphone and have them shipped to your home or a local Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart offers free shipping for a variety of back to school items.
And just like with Best Buy, surf the web with your smartphone to see if you can find a better deal on the same product somewhere else. If you do, pull it up on your phone and Wal-Mart says it will match the price of identical products from a local competitor's printed ad.
