Big Family Food: My Recent Walmart Pick-up Orders

March 23, 2022 by Laura 9 Comments

To supplement my once-a-month Costco or Sam’s trips, I put in Wal-Mart pick-up orders every ten days or so. Here are a couple of pictures from recent orders!

Sometimes when I talk about how much I enjoy taking advantage of Walmart Pick-Up, I hear how some of your experiences with it have been less than positive. Shucks, I’m sorry! For me, it has been a lifesaver. Like, I think it has actually saved my life. Or at least it has saved hours and hours of my life and much of my sanity (which is actually already gone, doggonit).

Apparently our local Wal-Mart rocks in the Walmart Pick-Up department. On the flip side, ours has gone to almost entirely self-checkout which I reallllly struggle to do when I have a huge full cart and babies with me. Thus, my Walmart Pick-Up life-saving claim.

My Recent Walmart Pick-up Orders

I love that I can add all my needed groceries into my online cart in just a few minutes. Then I select a time to pick up that works for me. I take a kid or two with me for an outing when I go pick up, or I send a friend or one of my older boys. And then boom, my groceries walk themselves out to my van (with a little help from an awesome associate), put themselves into the back, TELL ME THANK YOU, and I go home. This is beautiful.

Here’s what I got from this particular pick-up order:

  • 4 pounds strawberries
  • 2 pounds spring mix
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 6 ounce raspberries (x4)
  • 4 crowns broccoli
  • 8 bananas
  • 2 pounds grapes
  • 18 ounces blueberries
  • bag of avocados
  • 2 packages hot dog buns
  • family size caesar salad kit
  • 5 pounds frozen tator tots
  • 4 pounds frozen hashbrowns
  • 3 pounds frozen strawberries/bananas
  • 4 pounds frozen fruit mix
  • wheat germ
  • cocoa powder

Total cost for all this: $99.

I know grocery prices are on the rise, but truly when I see all I got for a hundred bucks, I’m very thankful.

Another trip I got:

  • 2 gallons milk
  • 2 packages hamburger buns
  • 2 packages hotdog buns
  • 3 pounds clementines
  • 5 pounds shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 2 pounds shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 boxes lasagna noodles
  • 6 jars pasta sauce
  • 2 quarts heavy whipping cream
  • 2 quarts half&half
  • coffee creamers
  • 2 cans pears
  • 1 can peaches
  • 2 bags petite baby carrots
  • 1 pound mixed greens
  • 2 containers cottage cheese
  • 3 pounds gala apples
  • 2 pounds pink lady apples
  • 4 boxes frozen hashbrowns
  • Totinos (ha, gross right? I get these for Malachi sometimes as they are his fav.)
  • 3 bags tortilla chips
  • 4 pounds strawberries
  • large tub sour cream
  • bag of meatballs
  • 2 16-packs of beef hotdogs

Total cost: $168

    I adore Walmart pickup! Just did a $150 order today to stock up. Most of the time it’s just so smooth and easy.

    I love Walmart pickup too! We have the nicest associates and I love that they sub items for the same cost even when it is a more expensive sub. Also if you get bad produce, it’s so quick to get a refund.

    I love WalMart pick up! The only issue I have is getting a receipt so that I don’t forget to enter it into my checkbook!

    I do Walmart pickup every 2 weeks and I love it! I can work it to my budget and I don’t have to deal with walking through the store and buying more stuff I ‘need.’

    I love Walmart pickups, and do them about every other week (rotating with shopping at Aldi where I stock up on certain things). However, I find their produce quality isn’t always great. I think it may be my local store, as I have done pickups at other stores occasionally and had better luck. So even though I love my walmart pickups, I do end up running into Wegmans or another store mid-week for some fresher produce! (In the summer/fall it’s not a problem, as I buy virtually all my produce at local farm markets!)

    I really don’t like to shop at Walmart but sometimes they have things I can’t get anywhere else. I’ve utilized their pick up and delivery as each fills a need and 99% of the time the transaction has been very smooth with no issues.

      Love Walmart pick-up! It saves me so much time and the few times I had an issue they refunded me for the items quickly and with no hassle. I like that they don’t charge extra for this like some stores do.

    I just tried Walmart pickup for the first time three weeks ago and I was wowed! I only had to wait in my spot for a few minutes and they brought everything out to my van. All the produce was good quality and nothing was missing from my order.

    I have used Walmart pick up a few times. It is convenient… We have a family of 7 living children. I feel you did really well on prices. I typically shop Aldi, now BJ’s every other week stock up in a town about 25 miles away.. For fill ins and items we don’t get at Aldi or BJ’s Walmart , Dollar tree and Meijer in our town.
