Is this how you shop?
- Lift that turkey into your cart – of course, you picked the biggest one, right?
- Three gallons of milk is next. How can we drink so much milk?
- Oh, that’s right, we need a gallon of vinegar.
- Thank goodness for the small things, yogurt, eggnog, cheese.
- On to check out
- Here we go again, lift that turkey, three gallons of milk, one gallon of vinegar and the small things.
- All paid, now to put everything back in the cart, turkey, milk, vinegar, and the small things.
- Out to the car, and you lift them all into the car.
- Finally home and once again you lift that 20-pound turkey, three gallons of milk, a gallon of vinegar, and the small things.
Do you realize that you lifted everything five times? Sounds more like a workout than a shopping trip.
That’s how I used to shop.
Then I met Mary Ann
Now I shop like this
- Get a cup of coffee and sit down at my computer.
- Put all my groceries in my online cart.
- I keep open tabs for another local store so I can compare prices.
- Pay for them and tell them when I want to pick them up.
- I drive to Walmart.
- Mary Ann puts that 20-pound turkey, three gallons of milk, a gallon of vinegar, and the small stuff into my car.
- In five minutes I’m on my way home to unload everything.
- I lift it all once, put it away, and I’m done!
Just think of the advantages
- Time saved
- Less impulse buying
- Money saved by being able to check prices before purchasing
- Less lifting
- Less getting cold or wet – I live in MN
- No looking for a good parking spot
- Saved energy for fun things instead of all that lifting
What about
- Prescriptions
- Shopping you want to do for yourself
- Produce
- Returns
Even if I have to go into the store to get a prescription, or pick up some things that I want to shop for myself, I still order my heavy things to pick up. It still saves me time and effort.
I’ve begun to order my produce from the pickup – you can check it before it’s put in your car and not get it if it isn’t what you want.
If they don’t have what you ordered, for instance, a three-pound bag of broccoli flowers. They gave me 3 one-pound bags for the price of the three-pound bag.
The links to Walmart pickup are referral links. I will get $10 if you sign up. But so will you after your first order. It’s a win-win.
I would like to receive your freebie. Yes! Please send it to me.
