Let's Look - WHAT'S IN OUR GROCERY CART





HI!  If you are popping over for the link party, welcome!  I am a corporate Mom of 2 kiddos. This space of internet is where I share tips and tricks on how I work on balancing both aspects of my life, while still making time for fun!  Feel free to bookmark so you can check back every Monday and Wednesday.

This month our "Let's Look" is grocery carts.  I almost skipped this month because I HATE grocery shopping.  This is a role my husband has thankfully taken on and he enjoys it.  I go so infrequently that I never know where anything is in the store.  I am the person people hate because I have to stop and read the signs above the aisle to see where I am going.  It is usually more expensive if I do have to go.  Since I don't go often, when I do, I notice new flavors, new products, etc!  I always come home with more than I had on my list.  So, it's a vicious cycle!  

I didn't skip this post because I wanted to share something that has saved us a TON of time in grocery shopping.  WALMART+  This is not a sponsored post and there are no affiliate links, Walmart doesn't know I exists.  But this is an honest opinion about this service and how is has helped our grocery shopping.


1.  We grow a shopping list throughout the week in the app.  You need $35 for delivery which is easy to get to with a family of 4.  


2.  The app keeps track of your frequent purchases, so you don't have to search if you buy same staples every week.


3.  They do run specials on the service.  We got a deal that was $50 for the year.  This deal came out right before Christmas.  The normal price is $12.95/Month of $98 Annually.  I love it so much I would buy this service at $98 a year.  They offer a 30 day trail that I would recommend.  30 days is a good about of time to be able to test the service 2-3 times.  


4.  The service also comes with gas discounts and Paramout+



Things to note: 

- We don't buy meat through Walmart+, we do a 1/4 cow every 6 months

- We use Costco and BJ's for bulk paper products


If you haven't tried Walmart+ I would highly recommend!


See you back on Monday!

March Book Review

I read a lot this month. We had a couple quiet weekends, and I took advantage of them by reading.  There were a few books I started and couldn't finish.  Life is too short to read a book you don't like.  But below are the ones I did finish.  I hope you find a few ones to add to your list. Temptations by Sherryl Woods My rating:  4.5/5  I loved it! Slight (very slight if I could finish the book) suspense in the book.  I thought it was a great story and I didn't want it to end. Back of book:   Callie Smith's quest for success far from her Iowa roots has caused a rift with her hardworking family. And with neither her Wall Street career nor her marriage going as planned, she starts to question the choices she's made. But when charismatic network president Jason Kane pursues her to save a failing soap opera, her life is soon full of more twists than a TV story line. Suddenly she gets to know a whole new side to her mother, and also has the opport...

Happy New Year! I hope you are starting the new year rejuvenated from the holidays!  I am so glad you are here and joining me on this corner of the internet.  Welcome! I love the start of a New Year.  It's a fresh start, clean slate and a chance to take a look at the year ahead.   In the last post , I talked about how I don't make New Years Resolutions.  Instead, I decide on a WORD.  I think of what I want the year to look like. How I want to shape decisions and what I want to accomplish.   This year I chose....... I want to be more consistent in many aspects of my life.  I am printing this image and putting it on my desk at work and next to my bed.   Have you thought of a word?   If you want to do a word of the year instead of a resolution, I compiled over 50+ words and definitions for you!  Take a look below to help you think of what you want this year to look like/focus on.  You can always pick one for yo...

MONEY BACK FROM TAXES? HERE IS A SURE WAY TO GROW IT

April 15th is right around the corner; did you file your taxes yet?   The goal should always be to break even, but it's always nice to receive a return.  Want to make the return you receive grow even more..... invest in a high yield savings account !  We were first introduced to this concept about 9 months ago and didn't do it.  The person that told us about it was incredibly happy with the results they were getting.  It took convincing to get my husband on board, but when he did, he was sold.  Sometimes he has to be "sold" on an idea, so I had to do some research.  Below are the articles and facts I learned/read in the process. [Note: I am not a financial advisor, just someone that loves money.] WHAT IS A HIGH YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNT? Savings account with higher interest then a traditional savings account.  Sometimes as much as 10x's higher!  It is often found at credit unions or traditional banks.  Traditional savings accounts typic...
