Saving Time + Money with Grocery Pick-Up

August 28, 2017 Leave a Comment

Grocery pick-up walmartIf you haven’t yet experienced the joy of ordering your groceries from the comfort of your home, having someone load them in your car and crossing grocery shopping off your to-do list, please do so ASAP! Seriously. Especially if you have kids, but even if you don’t. 🙂

I first stumbled upon Kroger Clicklist when it launched in our area and saw that the service fee for the first three orders was waived, so I decided to give it a shot. Since we frequent Kroger, I was thinking it would be a nice way to save time on the weekends rather than spending half of a Saturday grocery shopping. As it turned out, the Kroger near our house seemed to be out of stock of many of the things we ordered each time we used the service, so we ended up having to make another stop anyways. In the end, it didn’t save us much time at all. And on two out of three occasions, I had to contact customer service for receiving the wrong or outdated(!) products.

After trying Clicklist three times (with the waived service fee), I was ready to throw in the towel and didn’t feel the service was worth paying a $4.95 fee. That’s when Walmart Online Grocery came into my life – and I’ve never looked back! This is coming from the girl who HATES Walmart with a passion and won’t step foot in a Walmart store. True story. 🙂

Since I haven’t been in a Walmart in ages, I didn’t realize that they have really stepped up their game with their organic selection. I was super pleased to find almost everything we buy on a weekly basis available for grocery pick-up. The best thing about Walmart’s grocery service is you can see what’s out of stock online and you can’t add it to your cart, so you know going into it what you need to buy elsewhere. Planning is my love language, so I am all about this! Kroger’s pick-up service didn’t have that ability, so you would add everything you wanted to your cart and then find out when you arrived that they didn’t have it. Bummer. 

Another perk of using Walmart’s grocery pickup is the fact that I feel like we save money on groceries. I’m usually the girl who would pay a little more and go to Target rather than step foot in Walmart. And that hasn’t changed – but luckily, I can have the best of both worlds – saving money without having to go in Walmart…and in turn having extra spending money for Target. 🙂

I would be remiss not to mention that we’ve had several issues with Walmart’s grocery pick-up also – but they are handled very superiorly compared to Kroger:

  • You can quickly chat, email or call the grocery pick-up customer service team and they respond in less than 24 hours.
  • They refund you instantly if you were overcharged or missing items, no questions asked.
  • The store team seems to receive the feedback from corporate right away, and doesn’t make that mistake again. They are very on top of their game and seem to really care about making situations right.

I also failed to mention one BIG thing about Walmart’s grocery pick-up that I love: there’s no service fee! They also have a mobile app that allows you to add items to your order as you remember them, place the order and it even has a check-in feature you can use to let them know when you’ll arrive and they will be waiting to load your groceries in the car. And in case you wondered, this post is in no way sponsored by Walmart – they don’t even know who I am 🙂

If you haven’t yet tried Walmart Grocery Pick-Up, you can use this code to shop and get $10 off your first order.

Do you use grocery pick-up? Have you tried delivery services too (like Shipt)?!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
