Grocery shopping can feel overwhelming, no matter how many mouths you’re feeding. Back when Ree Drummond was shopping for her big family, she focused on stocking up so she would always have food on hand. “I try my best to structure things so that I have a stockpile of basic essentials that I buy in bulk once, twice, three times a year. Then I just fill in the fresh things (milk, bread, eggs, fresh produce, meat, etc.) as needed.”
Now that her daughter Alex has her own growing family, she's devised her own strategy and doesn’t even need to leave the house! “These days, it feels so daunting to venture out to the grocery store,” she said on a recent Instagram Story. With Dallas being so hot in the summer, plus a toddler and baby number two on the way, she needed to find something that fit her lifestyle. And that’s where Walmart comes in!
“I actually don’t know what we would do without Walmart delivery!!!!” Alex said, admitting, “I do multiple orders per week.” What she’s referring to is Walmart+, where orders over $35 are delivered for free. You can order same-day grocery delivery, which lets you get perishables like fresh fruit and eggs, as well as frozen foods like popsicles, much like Alex does.
That’s not all the membership offers, either. You can get free pharmacy delivery, savings on gas at participating locations, video streaming services like Paramount+ (for all you Dutton Ranch fans!), and so much more. And while Alex jokes that her post is “not an ad,” her mom will be happy to note that free shipping also extends to non-grocery items, including The Pioneer Woman collection.
Alex got her subscription for $98 per year, which is actually quite a bargain if you think about how much time, energy, and gas you save not having to run to the store all the time (not to mention all the perks). But actually, for a limited time, Walmart is offering a full-year membership for 50% off. So for the first year, you only pay $49.
So if you’ve been contemplating a membership, now is the time to snag one. They also offer free returns picked up right at your home, plus early access to sales, auto care savings, and even free online pet care. It’s great for any busy lifestyle. Just take it from Alex! “This saves our booties,” she said, and it’ll save yours, too. And for less than $50 for all of that? It’s worth a year of free delivery alone!
