WalMart Grocery Pickup – Making My Mom Life Easier

This is a sponsored post about Walmart’s Grocery Pickup Service, all opinions are 100% my own and it really was a #gamechanger for this crazy busy mom of four! 

My meeting went late at work, again. I dashed to the elementary school to pick up my three youngest children and they were the last ones left, again.

We ran by the house even though we didn’t have time, because my son had forgotten his baseball cleats, again.

After dropping him off at the field, I swung by the high school to pick up the theater student who was in rare dramatic form, again.

And then I began fielding questions about dinner and remarks from the backseat that we were out of milk and cereal, plus the last of the toilet paper had been used that morning. There’s nothing like a Kindergartener telling you to go to the grocery store, again.

Then I pulled into the Walmart Supercenter parking lot to the collective groans of my 3 daughters who did not want to go grocery shopping, again.

Do you feel like you spend your life at the grocery store? Is it only made worse by the face you often have to drag you're unhappy kids there with you? Being a mom is a tough job, but there are ways to make our lives easier. Grocery Pickup services are the latest and you'll be shocked by what a difference it makes. Learn more. SunshineandHurricanes.com

But, this time it was different. This time, I had discovered a way to get all the family essentials we needed without the shuffling and unbuckling of carseats, without explaining for the 34th time why we weren’t going barefoot into the store, without the eye rolls and heavy sighs from the teen who’d rather slouch in the car than walk through a store with her family.

What is this magic I had enacted? What was my plan you ask? I had discovered Walmart’s online grocery pickup service…gamechanger!

Shop from your computer, select your family favorites! So easy & convenient!

I simply went online and pre-ordered all of our groceries, selected my pickup time and location, rolled up to the designated area, and boom, an employee loaded my van and we were on our way in minutes! So fast, so easy!

Listen, I don’t throw the word miracle around too often but this? This was definitely falling into the miraculous category! I had a car full of fresh items and the time I would have spent shopping could actually be used to cook dinner and avoid that pizza delivery for the 3rd time that week!

I had some initial concerns about someone else picking out my produce but because Walmart guarantees you’ll receive the freshest items or your money back, I had nothing to lose. Best of all, I really did receive the same fresh produce that I’d choose myself! Take a look:

And did I mention FREE? All of this magical, miraculous wonderfulness was FREE!

Grocery Pick Up

My confirmation, groceries will be ready and waiting!

I created my order at work in just minutes between meetings.  So, as I left for the day to pick up my kids from the four corners of the earth, even though I was running late, I had the peace of mind of knowing that I was going to be able to bring home a load of groceries and provide my family a home cooked meal for dinner! Oh, plus we would have toilet paper again which was it’s own special accomplishment, right?

Grocery Pick Up

I pulled in the grocery pick up area and in under 5 minutes, my order was delivered right to my car!

As the holidays approach and our schedules become even more jam-packed, do yourself a favor: use this game changing free online grocery pickup service from Walmart. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m definitely planning to order all the makings for our family feast, slide into a parking spot, and head for home in mere minutes! Less time at the grocery store, more time with my loved ones, that’s going to make our holiday better than ever!

Reclaim some of those missing hours from your day and make life better for yourself and that ever barefoot Kindergartener.

    We used to have a grocery delivery service in our neighborhood and it was awesome! The store did away with it because it was getting enough revenue from it. I wish they would bring it back! The pickup idea would be a great option instead if they would do that.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
