Unfortunately, it looks like Louisiana is destined to only have one Buc-ee location for the foreseeable future. And it’s all the way in north Louisiana. As South Louisiana continues to be ignored, we’ve turned to other ways to get the delicious snacks and other products Texas’ most famous beaver has to offer.
There are now several online alternatives. TexasSnax is one of them, and the owner of the site earns a good amount of money by offering these products online. But other online resellers seem to be getting into this as well. One of these resellers, his Walmart, is also a name you’ve probably heard of.
As it turns out, you can actually get Buc-ee products from walmart.com, but there’s a catch: the prices are much higher than you’d expect.
Yes, Walmart sells exclusive Buc-ee products through its website. In case you didn’t know, everything you can buy on walmart.com is not actually provided by Walmart. The retail giant’s website is almost like Amazon Lite, with resellers offering the same or similar products for purchase, sometimes at much higher prices. This exclusive Buc-ee product is now available on his walmart.com. However, the price may come as a bit of a shock.
As our friends at KNUE in Texas have pointed out, the reseller aspect of Walmart’s site comes with some pretty hefty markups.
For example, a bright red Buc-ee T-shirt sells for about $33. These are usually around $17 at Buc-ee’s stores. The Buc-ee tumbler is listed for $49.99. It’s almost double the price. A 2-pack of Beaver Nuggets typically costs about $17 for 2 bags in stores, but costs $29.99 when purchased via walmart.com.
However, the fact that you can find these items on Walmart’s website has raised many eyebrows. Southern Living is taking notice, too. Many people are not satisfied with the high price. It is better to use TexasSnax or other online stores where the prices are not as high.
If you want to avoid all that hassle, don’t worry. In Lafayette, he has one choice. At a local shop he sells Buc-ee merchandise and snacks. Learn more about.
