Mom Hack: Let Someone Else Do Your Shopping

It’s officially happened. Right when we were blessed with baby #3, baby #2 – my easy, go with the flow baby entered the “terrible twos” a few months early. That girl right there screamed “CUDDLE MAMA!” all through the grocery store the other day until I agreed to carry her. Let me tell you something: carrying around an almost two year old while pushing a cart with a baby in it and ALL YOUR GROCERIES is quite the workout. I was sweating bullets by the time I got to check out. No amount of bribery will keep that girl still. So Sadie is officially off of shopping duty. Which means it’s now ten times harder for me to run any type of errand.

Which brings me to my most favorite mom hack yet: let someone else do your shopping. We’ve used Sam’s Club Pickup service a few times now and it is a total game changer. Order your items online, select a pick up time, let someone else shop for you, and then pick them up. Yay!

With Pickup you can pay online and bypass the line. Your order is ready when you get there! You can seriously order all of your necessities – from grocers and household essentials to office supplies – everything is just one click away. We used next day pick up and it was great! Select Sam’s Club locations offer same day delivery too.

Can I just order everything online? Because it sure makes my life a thousand percent easier. Here are some of our weekly staples: two types of milk, juice, and frozen strawberries. Everything else I blame on being hungry when I ordered!

Since I didn’t have to spend an hour dragging my kids through the store, we decided to use that time to explore outside instead. And everyone was much happier!

These two give me a run for my money.

    Brilliant!! I often do an online grocery shop order on a Sunday evening for delivery on Monday morning – saves so much time and effort with the kiddos x
