Walmart Grocery Pick-Up – $10 Off!
Wal-Mart grocery online shopping and pick-up launched in our local Kansas City, MO store several months
ago. I had seen an ad online over a year
ago and was so excited to see if it was in our area. At that time it wasn’t, but it’s here now –
thank goodness!
When I was living in VA
probably about 10 years ago they had grocery pick up at Farm Fresh, which was
our east coast chain of popular stores.
I would say in the mid-west it’s the equivalent of Hy-Vee. So you spent quite a bit more (at Farm Fresh and Hy-Vee), typically a
grocery bill increase of as much as 30%.
But I made the switch because at the time I was working hell hours and
did not have time to be diddling in the store for an hour or two every week
after painstakingly prepping a grocery list and then don’t even get me started
on unloading at home and HELLO! When are
you ever supposed to eat that day.
Now it’s all in one place and
the best part, it’s free. So every week
I do my grocery thing. I sit and plan
out 2 weeks of kids breakfasts, lunches and snacks… the same for my husband and
I. Then I go through the really time
consuming part and that’s putting together actual meals that are fresh and new
for each night. I always research
recipes and write down the items that I need to complete each one.
But the tedious part is
completely cut out. I get online and I actually
save time because instead of writing out all the usual's I go through my favorites; where the system saves everything
you’ve ever purchased. I can’t tell you
how many times that feature has kept me from forgetting little things like coffee
or like yesterday where it reminded me that I can get cookie dough and be bad. And I was sooooooo happy!
It keeps you on budget
100%. I’ve made a few cuts to save some
extra spending money for our trip to New York and Canada. When I get within $15 of my budget limit (to allow for tax of course) I go
back and decide what I can cut down on, what I can push out, purchase later and
what I truly don’t need… like cookie dough (although I'll usually cut something else out :D).
Then I check out. You reserve a time, pull into the pickup area
any time in your hour time slot, call the number on the sign and tell them
which spot you are parked in. And it’s
special parking where the spots have their own big signs and a number so it’s
not like giving directions to a random spot in the lot.
I’ll call, say I’m in spot 3 and they come
out to me. They load everything in your
car, let you know if you had substitutions, etc… and are all around awesome people. I’m done within 5 minutes and on my way home
to unload. I can make the trip on my way
home and still have time to get my kids.
I really can’t stress enough how convenient it is.
I love it so much that even
when I only need a couple things I’ll build a mini-list to hit the $30 limit
and swing by after work. I haven’t
stepped foot inside Wal-Mart in so long my husband told me we have self-checkout
lines now!? I had no idea.
