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 Debt Snowball

If you have read any of my previous posts, you already know that I am a huge fan of Dave Ramsey, whose teachings helped me eradicate my debt. Fast.  A common misconception about paying off debt is that you have to attack the largest balance and/or interest rate first, but depending on the balance, that could take quite a while, especially if you are making payments on several other debts as well. What you want to do instead is attack the smallest balance first by applying every extra dollar that you can squeeze from your budget while making only the minimum payments on all of your other debts. Because it is a smaller balance and you are attacking it aggressively, it will get paid off much faster than a larger balance would. Then you can attack the next smallest balance. Everything that was applied to the previous balance can now be applied to the next one as well as every extra dollar that you can squeeze from your budget. Repeat this cycle until your debt disappears! Mr. Ramsey...

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...

5 Simple and Practical Ways to Save More Money

I'm sure many of you have heard the old adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention." When I was on my journey to debt freedom, necessity became the mother of my frugality. I really had no choice; it was sink or swim, and I've never been one to choose to sink. In my previous posts, I've discussed how I became a master at cutting back/sacrificing, prioritizing, budgeting and saving. In this post, I would like to share how I became great at finding a deal to save money when shopping. 1. Don't be a retailer snob/brand snob:  I am not the least bit ashamed to admit that Wal-Mart and Aldi are my favorite stores. Why? Because the shopping experience is superior? NO. The prices are the lowest around and that is all I care about! Growing up in Johnson County, I have heard every excuse imaginable as to why Wal-Mart and Aldi are not acceptable places to shop. Some of the most popular excuses are that the customer service is terrible, they see themselves as above t...
