When we want to stock up on both yummy food and all the hardlines we need for our kitchen, pantry, and garden, we turn to Walmart. When we see finds with great reviews at Wally World, we perk up and pay attention, because these items are usually inexpensive and functional — a combination that shoppers love. We weren't surprised that we instantly fell head over heels with the Mainstays 6" x 6" x 5.5" Round Ceramic Grid Plant Planter, which comes in red or black. Prices may vary by location but are listed at only $7.88 for the 6-inch, or $11.88 for the 8-inch. Judging from their 4.6/5-star rating, with 85% of reviews being five stars, we can see that our fellow customers love them, too.

"Great pots! Even better price!" One delighted shopper wrote, adding: "These pots are top notch! They are thick and sturdy [...] I liked them so much I bought 3 more and I'm thinking about getting more!" Another happy consumer declared, "Excellent quality. Bigger than I realized." The exceptional value was emphasized again and again, as seen in this very satisfied evaluation: "These planters are so much nicer than I imagined. They were so nice that I ordered a total of 12 to replace all of the white pots on my flower shelf. I got these on sale at an amazing price so it was totally worth it! I highly recommend these planters."

If you've read up on our tips for how to prep your herb garden for winter, you know that indoor herb assortments are where it's at. Placed in a sunny window, your potted herbs can grow happily all year-round in the climate-controlled sanctuary of your home. You also might be slightly less likely to forget to water your herb babies if you can see them every time you wash dishes! These Walmart planters would be ideal for indoor herbs, we think, because the planters are just as attractive as they are useful. They'll match a wide range of décor and add style that plain terracotta pots don't usually have. If you mix and match the bigger and smaller planters, you could make a display that amplifies the beauty of your kitchen or living room while giving your herbs a safe, sturdy home in which to thrive.

When it comes to outdoor use, numerous reviewers mentioned potting plants and small trees in patios and pool enclosures for stylish function. If it's herbs that you specifically want to grow, several of these pots would look pretty and intentional arranged in the sun on a table or garden wall. It was noted online that the planters are heavier than they look, so they can certainly stand up to the seasons. They even feature a large central drain hole, so you don't have to worry about your basil, mint, rosemary, or thyme getting waterlogged.

In recent months, other highly-reviewed Walmart items we've found include lemon blueberry muffins from the bakery section that have the best reviews we've seen, and also an organizing tool for canned food that shoppers love.
