One question I am constantly being asked is how do I balance everything. Between a full time job, home renovations, maintaining relationships, and running my blog as a business it’s very much a balancing act. While I have not perfected juggling everything, the key for me is finding tips/tricks to save time. If it gives me back an hour or two a week then I am 100% all in!
Last month Walmart released a membership where you pay $98 for a year or $12.95 a month to get free unlimited delivery ($35 minimum, restrictions apply) and other member benefits! Since I head to the grocery store about every other week and spend up to 2 hours walking around, I figured this membership would be a great way for me to save some time! Plus in the case that I forget something (most of the time I do haha), I could use Walmart+ to place a quick order. All you have to do is place a minimum of $35 (restrictions apply) in your cart, pick a time slot for it to be delivered and you’re all set!
What’s really nice about using Walmart+ is that I can grab my laptop during lunch, head into my kitchen and start adding items to my cart. It saves me the time of heading to the store, walking around, trying to avoid buying things I don’t need and remembering what exactly I need to get! That way I get it done during my lunch all without having to use a lunch break to grab groceries. It has also helped me not forget things as much since I can see my most recent purchases through Walmart+. I really appreciated that I get to pick a time slot that is convenient for me and they text me once the food has been delivered to my door step. That way I know I will be at the house to grab the food which is especially key when ordering eggs, milk, etc.
What’s probably even more convenient is you can order more than groceries using the Walmart+ membership. The other day I remembered I needed scissors, laundry detergent and packing tape so I added it to my cart to have ready for placing my grocery order!
With Walmart+ you also get other benefits on gas and in-store shopping! At Walmart & Murphy gas stations you can save 5 cents per gallon, using the member prices on fuel benefit, which adds up quickly. When you do head into a store, you can check out with your phone as you shop using the mobile scan & go benefit through the Walmart app. Which is so helpful for being contact free in the store.
Some things I grabbed this time using Walmart+ are:
- Pumpkin Spice K-Cups for the fall! I go through about 1-2 cups of coffee a day so I am FOREVER needing to stock up on coffee haha. Then I had to order my favorite almond milk to have with my coffee.
- Since I work out once a day during the week, I needed to pick up some more of my favorite Tide laundry detergent to use on my work out clothes.
- Since I don’t drink soda anymore, La Croix is my go to drink! I grab 2-3 packs every time I place a grocery order.
- Since Halloween is right around the corner, I grabbed a big pack of candy so I could be stocked up and ready! I feel like candy starts to sell out quickly the closer we get to Halloween.
- I had to grab some more Popchips! If you haven’t tried these then don’t because they are so addicting haha. I can/have eaten an entire bag of these in one sitting!
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring today’s post!
