Back in the day, purchasing daily necessities and buying lunch were two completely unrelated activities. Grocery shopping required setting aside a dedicated block of time, while picking up a freshly made lunch meant making a separate trip to a drive-thru. Well, not anymore.

Walmart has added Subway meal delivery to its Express Delivery service, and Subway is the first in-store restaurant brand integrated into Walmart's delivery service. That means you can get your dishwasher tabs and an Italian B.M.T delivered to your door.

Across Montana, you can find Walmart stores paired with an on-site Subway

 

  • Helena: 2750 Prospect Ave (Inside Walmart #1872)
  • Great Falls: 701 Smelter Ave (Inside Walmart #2455)
  • Billings: 2525 King Avenue West (Inside Walmart #1956)

 

Express Delivery subscribers in the above-listed areas can now place an order for a Steak n Cheese sammie when a blizzard traps them indoors, when they do not want to leave their couch during a football game, or simply when they are just being a lazy introvert.

The terms of this service are customer-friendly, too. Meal prices are exactly the same as those charged at physical Subway stores, and customers can customize their orders through the Walmart app or official website. Plus, deliveries can arrive in as little as 30 minutes.

This makes the service much cheaper than the other food delivery platforms that add extra premium fees.

The next time I'm placing a Walmart order and that Subway button pops up, there's a very good chance I'm going to convince myself that adding a footlong is somehow a responsible grocery decision.

LOOK: 20 Discontinued McDonald's Menu Items You'll Never See Again

Discontinued McDonald's items tell the story of eight decades of quiet experiments, from a pizza that took too long to cook to a lobster roll that never made financial sense. Some disappeared overnight with no explanation, others were cut to streamline operations, and a few became cultural phenomena long after they were gone.
