Forget the Milk? Nah, There's an App for That: Your Guide to Walmart's Curbside Pickup (Because Who Wants to Adult Today?)
Let's face it, folks, we've all been there. You're cruising down the highway, mentally congratulating yourself for remembering the toilet paper this time, when it hits you: you forgot the milk. Again.
Now, the old you might have slammed on the brakes, executed a U-turn that would make Vin Diesel jealous, and braced yourself for the shopping cart stampede in the dairy aisle. But you, my friend, are a sophisticated individual living in the age of revolutionary technology. You, my friend, are about to experience the glorious convenience of Walmart's curbside pickup.
| How Curbside Pickup At Walmart Works |
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Tech Guru (It's Easier Than You Think)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app (unless you're secretly a cyborg and can just beam your shopping list directly into their system). Download it, arm yourself with your grocery list, and get ready to be amazed.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.![]()
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can also place your order on the Walmart website. But who wants to fire up their laptop when you can conquer your grocery needs from the comfort of your couch?
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Sherlock Holmes (But for Finding Deals, Not Detectives)
Now comes the fun part: browsing the virtual aisles. Browse, search, and add to your cart with reckless abandon (well, within your budget, of course). Don't forget to keep an eye out for those sweet, sweet online-only deals. You might just snag a bargain on that giant bag of gummy bears you've been eyeing.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.![]()
Important Note: Not all items are eligible for curbside pickup, so be sure to check the little blue "pickup" icon next to each item before you get your heart set on a pool float that, unfortunately, requires in-store pickup.
Step 3: Scheduling is Key (Unless You're a Time Lord)
Once you've assembled your grocery army, it's time to choose your pickup time. Be a scheduling ninja and pick a slot that works for you, whether it's on your way home from work or during your lunch break. Just remember, popular times fill up fast, so don't wait until the last minute to secure your curbside throne.

Heads Up: There might be a small fee for curbside pickup depending on your order total. But hey, when you factor in the time and gas you save by not wandering the aisles aimlessly, it's a pretty sweet deal.
Step 4: The Grand Arrival (Cue the Dramatic Music)
Now that your order is placed and your pickup time is locked in, it's time to channel your inner NASCAR driver and navigate your way to the designated curbside pickup area at your local Walmart.

Pro Tip: Look for the brightly colored signs that say "curbside pickup" – they practically scream, "Free groceries, this way!"
Step 5: Operation "Grocery Retrieval" is a Go!
Once you've found your designated parking spot (usually marked with a number), it's time to whip out your phone and check in through the app. This lets the Walmart elves know you've arrived and are eagerly awaiting your shopping bounty.
Relax and Enjoy the Show: While you wait in the comfort of your air-conditioned chariot (or, you know, your car), a friendly Walmart associate will magically appear with your groceries, load them into your trunk, and bid you farewell.
Voila! You've successfully conquered your grocery needs without even breaking a sweat (unless you went a little overboard on the jalapenos). Now you can skip the checkout lines and head straight home to celebrate your victory with a bowl of cereal and a giant bag of gummy bears (because, adulting is overrated).
