9 Ways Wal Mart Grocery Pick Up Saves You Money

Hello lovely readers! As the weekend comes to a close, I'm feeling satisfied that I accomplished everything on my to do list and am ready for the busy week ahead. One of the tasks on said list, was to pick up the groceries I ordered from Wal Mart. This was only the second time I have ordered groceries for pick up, and let me tell you, I am never buying groceries any other way ever again, and I have no idea why I didn't do it any sooner! There are so many ways that Wal Mart grocery pickup saves you money, so of course I have to share them! I am The Wanderlusting Penny Pincher after all!

1. It's FREE, need I say more?
2. If you have the tendency to overspend on impulse buys (this used to be a big problem for me)... BOOM. Problem solved. You can't buy what you don't see!
3. It saves so much time, and as we all know, time is money!
4. When you are searching for your products online, you can set it to list the lowest priced items first that are related to your search, which saves time yet again.
5. There's only a $30 minimum.
6. Wal Mart grocery pick up is not limited to grocery items; you can also get deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc.
7. If they are out of an item you ordered, with your permission, they will substitute it with something similar that's of equal or greater value and they don't charge any extra for it.
8. Did I mention it's FREE?!
9. Shopping at Wal Mart in general saves you money because their prices are unbeatable.* Here are a few examples:

1. Aim toothpaste - $.85
2. Suave deodorant - $1.47
3. 12.5 oz bottle of V05 shampoo or conditioner - $.78
4. Equate mint waxed dental floss - $.87
5. 33 fl oz bottle of Equate alcohol free mouth wash - $2.74 (the same size of Crest Pro Health is around $6)
6. Large loaf of Italian bread from the bakery - $1.00
7. Smart Ones frozen meals - $1.67
8. 18 large eggs - $1.40
9. 1 bunch of green onions - $.88 (currently on sale for $.50!)
10. 1 large bunch of cilantro - $.78
11. 1 large can of Hunts pasta sauce - $1.00
12. 1 box of any Great Value pasta - $1.00

I could go on and on, but as you can see, these are great prices and just as good quality as their name brand counterparts.  Until next time, happy saving!!

*Aldi is a little cheaper on some things, but Wal Mart will price match on like brands. I also think the time saved, as well as the removal of the temptation to impulse buy, makes Wal Mart grocery pick up the best deal, even if the cost still ends up being higher than Aldi (it would only be a slight difference anyways).

The Beginning of my Journey to Financial Peace

When I graduated college back in 2010, degrees in hand, I had stars in my eyes and spunk in my spirit. I was young and carefree, the world was my oyster and I was excited about the future. There was just one problem. Between student loans, credit card debt, and an auto loan, I had accrued about $55,000 of debt. I also had no job prospects, at least none that justified my newly earned music and psychology degrees and/or would be much help with attacking Debt Mountain. I was also an impulsive spender. The fact that I wasn't making a lot of money combined with the fact that I had a lot of debt and a bad habit - let's just say my starry-eyed excitement was fading fast, and I knew I needed to act. It's amazing, the things we can accomplish when we have to. I prayed, researched and brainstormed every possible thing I could do to become debt free. Doing all of that took me on a life-changing journey; so much so that I feel compelled, obligated even, to share my story. I am so exci...

Stewardship: Where Faith and Finances Meet

Around the same time that I was learning about financial peace and budgeting from Dave Ramsey, the Lord lit a fire in me to get serious in my pursuit of following Him. I have always been a believer, but my heart began stirring at the realization that I needed to fully surrender my heart to Him in order to experience true life. When you draw closer to the Lord, He plants truths in your heart that blossom into beautiful, transforming things in your life. For me, one (among many) of those things was a passion for good stewardship. Mr. Ramsey, who is also a believer, encouraged and inspired me to remain steadfast in this newfound passion. There is a beautiful song by Casting Crowns called "Oh My Soul." ( Click here to listen ). My favorite line of the chorus is, "There's a place where fear has to face the God you know." I believe the same is true of our finances. The way they face and reflect the God we know is through practicing good stewardship. So what does t...
