Best Thing Since Indoor Plumbing

It is NOT a little-known fact that I do NOT like to go to Walmart.  I have been known to drive to and through the parking lot and then go home, not able to face it.  For years now, each time I am in the parking lot, ready to go in, I text all of my family the same message every time: "Cover me, I'm going in."  They all know exactly where I am and what I'm doing.  I often get texts back:"We've got your back, Mom."  "Praying for you."  etc.
But things have changed.  Yes, things have changed with the invention of Walmart grocery pickup.  I am a huge fan.  You just use their grocery pick up app and choose your groceries.  You schedule a pickup time and pay online.  They email you at or around your scheduled time.  You drive over there, park under their awning, and out they come with your groceries.  They have you sign a thing, load the groceries in your car, and away you go.  Honestly, the most convenient invention since indoor plumbing!


It's kind of like missionaries in Russia.  I didn't think it would ever happen.  Just like I didn't think Walmart would EVER be in a My Favorite Things post.  But here it is:  Walmart grocery pickup- one of my favorite things.

I love the way you tell things, you have such a cute sense of humor! I will have to try the online Walmart shopping! Just so you will know, the Kona Walmart is the worst Walmart I have ever shopped in - they don’t have much selection and they are always out of many items. However, their prices are overall lower than other grocery stores IF you can find what you need.
