Could you go into how you hired your first shopper?

Was a friend who wanted part time work for a couple months. Highly recommend looking into friends or kids of friends or neighbors or family who want a part time gig for some quick extra cash

Probably a dumb question...What do you mean by Walmart list? A spreadsheet you personally create with items to track and revisit manually? Or are you using some software or something more sophisticated/automated to track Walmart items, similar to Keepa alerts?

Not a dumb question.

Here is the long answer: https://www.thetoyinvestor.com/p/video-lesson-a-very-profitable-homework

The short answer: https://www.walmart.com/lists

Add items of interest to your list and check it at least daily. During Q4, I check it 6-7 times daily at least. It's the best way I've found to find price drops and sales before anyone picks up on them. There's so much alleged tracking software out there and alert systems yet somehow I'm always still getting items with limited quantity while manually checking over all the automated systems.

Great, thank you. This is very helpful. Also, thanks for putting together the McFarlane video based on my ask. Lots of great info in it, it was very helpful as well!
