“You’ve Been Booed”

When I was growing up, one of our favorite Halloween traditions was being “Booed!” by someone in the neighborhood. Being “Booed!” involves a surprise doorstep delivery of a bag, basket, or some kind of container filled with Halloween goodies and treats. It’s a secret delivery so no one knows who has “booed” them. After you’ve been “booed” you put a sign in your window that says “you’ve been booed!”, so the neighbors know you’ve gotten some goodies. Then you make your own surprise delivery to another neighbor or two!

We are so happy that this tradition is still going on in the neighborhood where we now live! William and Henry had so much fun helping us choose surprises, goodies and pumpkin pails using our Walmart+ membership. Using Walmart+ made it so easy to decide what items we wanted and we found the cutest pumpkin pails in the favorite color of each of our neighbor’s children. Recieving free unlimited delivery with our Walmart+ membership (with a minimum $35 purchase, restrictions apply) made assembling our “Booed!” bags so easy, time saving, and stress free!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We recently got a Walmart+ membership because we’ve loved using their pickup and delivery service and, now that we can get free unlimited delivery ($35 minimum, restrictions apply) with our membership, it’s even more of a game changer. We also use it to order diapers and wipes for Ford, our favorite “fizzy water“, organic food, snacks, and lunch supplies for the boys. These are things that we run out of fast and we need quickly so this has been one of our favorite benefits of our Walmart+ membership.

We found all of this and so many more Halloween goodies using our Walmart+ membership!

The Walmart+ membership offers free unlimited delivery ($35 minimum, restrictions apply) and other benefits for either a monthly or annual fee. Walmart+ membership benefits are not available in all areas so you should visit Walmart+ to find out which benefits are eligible based on your zip code. You can also see all the benefits of Walmart+ here!​​​​​​​

Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery

It’s officially been six months since the last time I packed a school lunch for the boys. With school starting this week (eek!), it’s that time again​​​​​​. Over the past six months of staying at home, one of the major lifestyle changes we’ve made is doing our grocery shopping with Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery. We used to think that the shoppers wouldn’t pick out the best produce or we wouldn’t be able to get our favorite products, but our experience has been that the produce we receive is better than what we used to see in store and we can get all of our favorite organic products and snacks for the boys. But one of the best advantages to utilizing Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery is that it saves so much time and energy – and I need all the extra time and energy I can get! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The boys’ preschool is pretty strict on bringing healthy foods and we love that. I try to pack a colorful lunch that I know will give them lots of energy for playing and learning. I make my shopping list online via Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery (saving favorites that we buy a lot) and have the time and focus to make sure that everything I need is there before ordering. I love that Walmart Online Delivery windows are an hour long, so you know exactly when to expect your order.

There is a minimum order of $35 and a slight charge for delivery, but the products are all the same price as you would pay in store and, in the scheme of things, the delivery fee is nothing compared to the stress of shopping with three boys.

I always try to pack their lunches and snacks the night before school. Our mornings are always a little crazy and having one less thing to do can make a huge difference in how we start our day. Here’s what I’m packing in the boys’ lunches this week:

  • almond butter sandwich: we love dave’s killer bread around here and the boys eat almond butter almost every day! Plus, it’s so easy to make and stays fresh overnight in the fridge
  • fruit: the boys are loving strawberries so we are getting our fill while they are in season
  • pouches: the boys love these mango pouches and I love that they don’t taste the spinach in them – win/win
  • veggies: I quarter raw carrots and the boys love eating them for a crunchy snack.
  • cheddar bunnies: This is the thing they look forward to every day at lunch 🙂
  • yogis: For snack, I’ll pack the boys some fruit and they love yogis as special treat

We can find all of this and so much more using Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery service!
