This might seem like a strange photo- but he wouldn’t stop crying until I gave him this carrot and that potato. We’ve all had those moments where our children are little beasties in public- and where we will do ANYTHING to make it stop and just get out of wherever we are in one piece. What can we do to make shopping easier with little kids?
Impatient leg swinging from the shopping cart seat is often followed by a litany of Mom, Mommy, and MOM! Even when I respond there are times that my little one just doesn’t stop. Then there are the forceful kicks to emphasize his impatience. Maybe you avoid those dangerous little feet, maybe you wind up with a dirty shoe scuffing up your white shirt. Or maybe you share my experience… a day when those scuff marks were more than just dirt.
I confess that I don’t love all things poop related and blown out diapers and clothing. What, you know someone who does? Diaper days were not my favorite. So that day between the tantrum throwing toddler in a store I visit regularly, what I can only figure was dog poop (please?) transferred from his shoe all over my embroidered white shirt, and an otherwise too stressful week- there was a scene of epic proportions. I was almost in tears myself by the end of the shopping trip. And of course- THE LOOKS you get from other shoppers, ugh.
When I discovered Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup I was elated. I get to stay in the car, cut my errand time by 80%, and save myself from the grocery store drama. I have always loved shopping, but that is one thing my munchkin did not inherit. Now I can browse from the comfort of my home, get everything my family needs, and just drive by and pick everything up. Someone looked at my life and found a solution for one of my biggest stressors. Now first time users can use promo code WOWFRESH for $10 off and find the bliss I have discovered with Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup.
Once you and your child have bawled your eyes out in a shopping aisle it is hard to go back to traditional shopping and now there are other options to save me from my shopping terror.
Next time you shop? Use promo code WOWFRESH for $10 off your first Walmart Online Grocery order, and save yourself some cash and hopefully some sanity.

I have witnessed many kids in many different stores having melt downs. I can’t say it is pleasant-but I NEVER gave any Mom or Dad a dirty look. Walmart has actually provided a service to all it’s customers and staff by instituting this pick up!!
While I don’t have kids, I so understand this struggle. It’s so nice to be able to just shop at home and go pick all your grocery needs without wandering the store and let’s face it, get things we really don’t need.
All I can say is wow! Your story resembles some of my shopping trips with my youngest who caused me more embarrassment in my life than I care to remember and I’m sure you know all. I recall those nasty looks other shoppers that made me feel like the worst parent in the world ~ ARHG! I only wish when he was a toddler that Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup was available; oh the stress and time it would have saved me, plus the $10 on my first order!
