Having 4 kids five days a week and 2 kids two days a week makes grocery shopping a challenge. I don't usually take the kids by myself because wrangling all of them takes most of my brain power and I tend to forget things I'm supposed to get. Not to mention taking all 4 is virtually impossible for me. Most of the time Michael and I do our grocery shopping in the evenings. Tuesday and Friday nights are free, then the weekend is wide open with the exception of church, if we don't have ANYTHING extra on our calendar that week. Needless to say, it's a chore I don't enjoy much anymore. But Walmart is helping me out in the grocery department! They have this awesome grocery pick-up system! I order my groceries online, reserve a time to pick them up (the next day or a day or two away), then just drive up and someone loads them in my car! How cool is that?!? Of course, I'm cheap, so I still punish myself with a trip to Aldi's each week, but being able to cut out my weekly Walmart trip is great! Today I dropped Dayton off for school, told the Wal-Mart grocery pick-up app I was on my way, and drove to the store. Within a couple minutes the app noted I had arrived (gps) and told me my groceries would be delivered shortly. Then, a nice young man wheeled them outside, I signed, he loaded them up, and I was good to go. Never had to get the 3 munchkins out of the car and I was back home by 9:05am. That, my friends, is a win! They even gave me a goodie bag with samples! Awesome! It doesn't work for things you need right away, but if you've got a day to spare, it's a dream! I will definitely be using this convenience more in the future! I hear Dillons is doing the same thing these days, but they are too expensive for me. However, when they do run good sales, I may have to use their grocery pick-up service as well, then making a trip to another store won't be quite so bad. ;) Anyway, hope you had a good Friday and that you have a great weekend! Enjoy the Superbowl! I'm making some healthy snacks for Sis' house (Shh! Don't tell, they're healthy!). I'll share the recipes later this weekend! :)
