If you are like me, even an extra hour back on a Saturday is a blessing. Well, I have found that extra hour (or more) in the form of online grocery shopping. Its not just for the rich and famous any more (I write that only halfway joking). Last week I read that my local Walmart was now offering on-line shopping. I typically stay away from Walmart on a Saturday, I prefer the smaller grocery stores to the mammoth-size Walmart variety, but they found a way to get my business by appealing to two things I value ...convenience and quality of my time.
How was my first experience? All the cold items were cold, the fruit and vegetables looked great, and the meats were bagged individually and separately from the rest of the order, There were a couple of missing items BUT I was given a 1-800 number to call if there were any problems and I could not have had a more pleasant customer service experience. The price of the items was credited back to me and for the inconvenience I was given a 10.00 grocery credit on my next order. The most amazing part of the experience was the cost savings! I had no idea how far I deviate from my weekly grocery list. Using the on-line app I just choose what we need and I am not distracted by impulse buys. I can even see what I am spending throughout the entire process.
Will I use the service again? My order is already placed, I did it this morning while I was snuggled up in my jammies drinking my morning coffee and listening the the birds chirping. No stress, no crowds, no lines! I selected the time I would pick my order up and I was done. The icing on the cake was that I spent half of what I normally do at the grocery store. Cha-Ching!
If the service is in your area and you want to try it out you can use the link for a first-timer $10.00 discount. Now to decide what FUN to have with the time I just got back...Cheers! ;) https://refer.walmart.com/v2/share/6276204845154650214/00
