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).

"Unplanned" Expenses

A couple days ago, I came across a few spam emails in my inbox that I actually had to read twice to make sure I was seeing clearly! The first one was advertising "personal loans for unplanned expenses." The second one was offering "personal loans to help you reach your financial goals." The third said, "financial help - loans to pay off debt." WHAT?! The idea of going into debt to get ahead financially is so preposterous, I thought it had to be a joke! Well, it is a joke, but the sad truth is that these offers were serious. Seriously misguided. Let's unpack this further, shall we? I want to let everybody in on a little secret. "Unplanned expenses" are no longer unplanned if you...wait for it...plan for them. Of course nobody plans on the inconveniences of life happening, such as car or home repairs, trips to the ER, travel expenses due to the sudden death of a loved one etc. We know somewhere in the back of our minds that these ...

College: A Worthy Investment?

After reading the title of this post, some of you may have had the knee jerk is-that-even-a-question-? reaction. I get it. Where I grew up, in the very affluent Johnson County, Kansas, it was the norm/expectation that you went to college right after high school. Before I say anything else, let me be clear that I highly value education, knowledge and higher learning. I have two degrees (a B.A. in music and a B.A. in psychology) that I am very proud of, but I know people without degrees who make just as much if not more money than I do and never had any debt to boot!  I do not recommend college at all (especially not right after high school) unless the following is true:  1. You have a focused/specific career plan (doctor, lawyer, teacher, engineer etc.) Do NOT get a generic degree in something like philosophy, history, communications, etc. that will cause you to be $60,000 in debt but only make $30,000 a year! I know this because while I am proud of my degrees, they...
