Shop Walmart Black Friday Deals EARLY with Walmart+ Membership!

When the baby is in charge of ordering groceries with a Walmart+ membership… 😉 Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post!

I declared my love for our Walmart+ membership a long time ago but I now have a NEW reason why it’s the best membership EVER! You probably already know that Walmart is always the go-to for Black Friday shopping because they have the best deals. Well… those amazing deals tend to sell out at an alarming rate when they go live online. BUT!! If you are a Walmart+ member, you will get to shop the online Black Friday deals FOUR HOURS before everyone else! [not available to trial members, while supplies last] This is the first time they’ve ever offered something like this. Early access is a huge benefit & I plan to take full advantage!

We used to have a whole adventure of going Black Friday shopping in stores and braving the crowds. But I definitely plan to be cozied up on the couch at home [probably in these plush buffalo plaid pjs] getting all of my shopping done this year. Our Walmart+ membership has just made it too easy to skip the in-store madness! And- another great benefit- free shipping, no order minimum! This is on last-minute gifts for your holiday moments all season long at the same low price you get in stores [Excludes most Marketplace items, location, freight surcharges]. That means you can place multiple orders without trying to reach a free shipping minimum. So when you find those hot deals for Black Friday, add to cart & check out immediately! This makes for much less stressful shopping in my opinion.

The early access to Black Friday deals is definitely my favorite new benefit to our Walmart+ membership. But I don’t want to skip over all of the other great reasons we love it too. I’ve chatted about all of the ways it’s been a lifesaver for us here but here is a quick overview.

A Few Favorite Walmart+ Membership Benefits:

You pay the same, low price that you get in store! There are no surcharges or higher prices
Unlimited free delivery on fresh, high quality groceries for holiday gatherings! $35 minimum order, restrictions apply
SO easy to order groceries on the Walmart app & get them delivered to our door! I have all of our favorites saved so I can quickly add to cart & checkout

With the super busy holiday season here, now is the best time to give a Walmart+ membership a try. Whether you need last minute dinner ingredients, a quick present to gift or a dish for a holiday party… I think you will find this to be a time + stress saver. You can even sign up for a free 15 day Walmart+ membership trial HERE.

LAST but not least… Give the gift of unlimited free grocery delivery!! Walmart has created a gift card specifically for Walmart+ membership! This is the perfect gift to a busy family or the person on your list who you don’t know what to get them. Literally everyone could get great use of free grocery delivery! & It’s a gift that will last an entire year. Shop the gift card here!

Baking for Fall with Walmart Home

Baking with Beckam! And by baking I mean making a BIG mess + a few small cookies. ha! Totally worth it for an afternoon of memories though!

It’s finally Fall & that means it’s time to start baking all of my favorite Fall treats & hosting family get togethers. Whether for game days or holidays, there are going to be many meals cooked here over the next few months! After losing a few kitchen items in our cross-country move, I knew I needed a quick restock of some kitchen items. & With the love I have for shopping all things Walmart, they were my first stop. And they definitely did not disappoint! I’m absolutely thrilled with the Walmart home finds AND the prices!

As much as I have come to love Walmart fashion over the last few years, the Walmart HOME section has blown me away even more! Everything from home decor to kitchen appliances to bakeware… they have the BEST options. You might remember that over the Summer I decorated our guest bedroom and every. single. thing. is from Walmart! You can see how it turned out HERE. & Now my kitchen is slowly becoming a Walmart home showroom too 😉 ha!

SHOP WALMART HOME FINDS:

FAVORITE WALMART HOME FINDS

3 piece mixing bowl set: They have this pretty white marble look [+ more options!] and they come with lids! I also love that they are plastic… AKA not breakable- a must with kids. The entire set is under $15!
Farm apple pumpkin candle: I LOVE these candles and the new Fall scents are amazing! They are huge, under $12 and smell so good. My entire house smells like Fall with this candle and it makes me so happy!
Set of kitchen hand towels: Such a great mix of black & white prints! Get all 5 for under $15!
Wood rolling pin: Can you believe I’ve been married for 11 years & have NEVER owned one of these!? Ha! I’ve used canned goods to roll things out far too often. So when I saw this for under $10, I couldn’t NOT get it!
Black & white dot 12 piece dinnerware set: MY #1 FAVORITE!! These are even better in person! I love the print, the gold detail around the sides and the price! Get all 12 pieces [4 full place settings] for less than $50.

Have YOU decorated for Fall!?

Since it’s finally Fall [whether the weather is acting like it or not!], it’s time to decorate for the new season! Walmart has all the best [& super affordable!] decor for your home. I have + love this wreath under $20, this cute Fall sign & this pumpkin stack. Browse through all of the Fall home decor HERE.

One of the best parts of heading into this time of year is more time spent with family & friends! I feel like we hang out with friends to watch football games, host or go to our families for holidays, and take dishes for potlucks to work/school. All of this means you need good & reliable bakeware. Most of what I had was still from our wedding registry in 2010. It was time for a small upgrade! This glassware set has 7 pieces and is less than $15! Such a steal for the set! & I also love this copper bakeware set with 2 cookie sheets, 2 pie pans & 2 muffin tins. It’s super affordable and looks great too.

Beckam & I had so much fun baking cookies & I know he will definitely be asking to do it again soon! If only I could somehow get him to clean the dishes, I’d totally be up for this every day 😉 ha!

After School Snack Prep with Walmart+

Beckam started Kindergarten a few weeks ago & so far EVERYday, when he climbs in the car after school, his first question is ‘What’s my snack today?’ ha! I mean… I love a good snack too so I can’t blame him 😉 We usually rotate between goldfish, popsicles, apples & avocados most frequently. BUT! He just put in a special request for a ‘snack board!’ We haven’t had one of these in a while & it’s basically a kid-friendly charcuterie board so DUH! I am here for it!!

I immediately hopped onto my Walmart+ membership account to place my delivery order! Since these are things I order often, they were already saved to my favorites. I added all the fruits, veggies, crackers & cheese to my cart and checked out in less than 5 minutes. The next morning everything was delivered [for FREE!] right to our door… Which means, I didn’t have to drag the girls out, #WIN! Breckyn & I got to work cleaning and prepping all the goods. I think it goes without saying we did our fair share of snacking while putting together the snack board. Whoops. lol

I am certainly NO charcuterie expert. Nothing fancy over here! I am pretty sure Breckyn was eating things faster than I could lay them all out! 😉 But we finally got it all pieced together! I LOVE doing ‘snack boards’ because it’s basically just a fancier way to get my kids to eat a whole bunch of healthy stuff! Plus, I love snacking on all of these goodies too!

Walmart+ Membership Details

With our Walmart+ membership I was able to get all of these fresh, high quality ingredients right to the door, super easily, with FREE delivery! [on orders over $35, some restrictions apply!] I’ve talked before about all the amazing ways Walmart+ has come in clutch for us as a busy family of 5. Between packing lunches, after school snacks, and soccer practice treats, being able to have what I need delivered to my door has saved SO much time. & One of my favorite features… there are NO mark-ups! You pay the same low, in-store prices. We are big fans of Walmart+!

Check out the FREE 15 day trial of Walmart+ HERE.

& Since I clearly didn’t use all of the fresh fruits & veggies, I stored them away in THESE food containers. I’ve had a set of them for about a year & finally decided to order more. So I actually added them to my Walmart+ grocery delivery and they came with the food. ha! Talk about convenience! Since the kids love these snacks so much, this food won’t last long but at least it’s all cleaned & ready to eat over the next few days!

Oh & P.S… Beckam LOVED this when I picked him up and brought him home. I didn’t even have a chance to snap a pick before these kiddos scarfed down the entire tray!
