None of that precious time has to be wasted spending an hour or more rounding up everything we need at the grocery store. I can use all of my spare time and energy packing or doing some other trip prep. One of my favorite uses of Walmart’s Grocery pick up so far? Placing a big order for pickup the day we are leaving town on a camping trip. That night, we left the rink, pulled into Walmart, had an employee load our entire grocery order for the week ahead (an order that WE DIDN’T HAVE TO SHOP FOR) into the back of my car. By 5:45 pm we are always driving past Walmart on our way home. For example, last week I scheduled our pickup between 5-6 pm because I knew that on that night, Landon had ice skating lessons until 5:30 pm. I simply schedule our Walmart pickup around a time when I know we are either free or (more often) when I know we’ll be heading home and passing by Walmart. Not only has this service saved me SO MUCH TIME, it has eliminated a big looming chore right out of our always-busy weeks. This post is 100% UNsponsored, by the way. I flipping love this service from Walmart. You love dragging your kids into the grocery store. Enough said. Sometimes you even get FREEBIES!! I got a bag of free samples on my first trip and have gotten a couple other freebies since then. Other stores charge all sorts of “convenience” fees to shop for you. But let’s face it, most weeks I’m at $35 before I even leave the produce aisle. ![]() You hate free stuff. Walmart’s Grocery Pickup service is FREE! FREE!! Yes, you must spend a minimum of $35 on your order. You won’t need to deal with other shoppers, you won’t need to wait in the checkout line, you won’t even have to get out of your car. So while you’re doing something else – working, watching your kiddo score a goal in soccer, grabbing a latte at Starbucks, someone else is navigating the store. You hate saving time. When you use Walmart’s Grocery Pickup service, someone else does your shopping for you. You have final say and can accept or reject any substitution either on the app or when you pick up your order. Oh, and when an item is out of stock and you have allowed a substitution? Walmart shoppers will look for a similar product and add that to your order. If there is an item that you are very brand-partial to, simply uncheck the substitute option next to it. Once you make your list and add it to your cart on the site or the app, you can choose which items you are willing to accept substitutes for if they are out of stock. You hate the ability to customize things to your personal preference. Running low on something? Use the handy barcode scanner in the app to add the product right to your cart. You hate convenience. You can place your Walmart Grocery Pickup order 24/7 via website or on their app. Here are my top 5 reasons that using this service might be a terrible decision for you: There are definitely some reasons you should never EVER even think about using Walmart’s Grocery Pickup. Today I picked up my weekly order with Landon, and as I drove off in less than 5 minutes with a whole trunk full of fresh food, I rolled some of those negative comments I shared above back through my mind.Īnd here’s what I decided. Before I knew it, I was placing weekly grocery orders at Walmart and I’m going to tell you right now: this is easily one of the most convenient services I have ever used. The first order turned into a second order. back in March, I decided to try it out for myself. The threads went on and on, as they tend to do. As the Walmart Grocery Pickup service continued to expand, I remember scrolling through various social media posts where comments touted anyone who might use this shopping options as “lazy!” and “SMH why are people too lazy to get out of their cars?!” and “THIS IS WHY THERE IS AN OBESITY EPIDEMIC!” and yes of course, the inevitable, “sad that people don’t even know how to shop like normal anymore.” Those are just some highlights. Over the months that followed, they began to roll out this service to most of the company’s Super Centers nationwide. I bounce back and forth between Giant and Walmart for grocery pickup and place at least 2 orders at Walmart every month.Ībout a year ago, Walmart launched their brand new Grocery Pickup Service. Here we are almost 4 years later and I am still a frequent Walmart grocery picker-upper. ![]() Update: This post was originally written in late 2019.
