Conquer Curbside Pickup: A Hilariously Handy Guide to the Walmart App
Let's face it, grocery shopping can be a drag. Between the screaming kids, the overflowing carts, and the existential dread of deciding between name-brand cereal or the questionable knock-off, it's enough to make you want to live off of air (not recommended, but hey, desperate times...).
Thankfully, there's a hero in this chaotic tale: Walmart Curbside Pickup. But with so many apps out there, navigating the world of online grocery shopping can feel like trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. Fear not, fellow adventurer, for this guide will be your Rosetta Stone to curbside pickup mastery!
Step 1: Download the App (Unless You're a Cave-Dwelling Gremlin)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app. It's free, and unless you're a cave-dwelling gremlin who communicates telepathically with squirrels for groceries, you'll probably need it. Download it, open it, and prepare to be dazzled by a world of… well, mostly groceries, but also some things you never knew you needed, like a sequined throw pillow shaped like a pug.

Step 2: Embrace the Search Bar (Your New Best Friend)
Now, the fun part: finding your groceries! The search bar is your new best friend. Need toothpaste? Type it in. Craving a gallon of pickle juice (no judgment)? Search away! You can even browse by department if you're feeling fancy.
Pro Tip: Utilize the "Pickup & delivery" filter to ensure you're only browsing items eligible for curbside pickup. Nobody wants to show up at the store with a cart full of dreams, only to discover their online shopping spree can't be whisked away by a friendly associate.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.![]()
Step 3: Add to Cart (But Maybe Not the Entire Cleaning Aisle)
Found your essentials (and maybe a few impulse buys, we've all been there)? It's cart time! Tap the "add to cart" button with reckless abandon (or at least, within the confines of your grocery budget). Remember, self-control is a virtue, especially when faced with the siren song of a ten-pound bag of gummy bears.
Step 4: Checkout - The Most Important Step (Except Maybe the Gummy Bears)

Head to your cart and checkout. This is where the magic happens. Review your order carefully. Did you accidentally order ten bottles of dish soap instead of laundry detergent? No worries, you can edit your cart with ease.
Choose your pickup time slot. Aim for a time that works for you, but be mindful of the window. Nobody likes a hangry wait.
Select your preferred pickup location. It's usually the store closest to you, but feel free to choose the one with the most epic parking lot, because why not?
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.![]()
Finally, pay the good people at Walmart. They've earned it, especially if you went a little overboard on the gummy bears (don't worry, we won't judge).
Step 5: The Glorious Pickup (cue dramatic music)
Once your order is ready, you'll receive a notification. It's showtime! Head to the store, park in a designated pickup spot (they're usually marked with bright orange signs, because subtlety is not Walmart's strong suit), and check in using the app.
Enter your parking spot number and car color. This helps the friendly Walmart associates find you and load your groceries with lightning speed.
Pop the trunk, relax, and wait. Within moments, a superhero in a blue vest will appear, bearing the fruits (or vegetables, or gummy bears) of your online shopping labor.
Congratulations! You've successfully conquered curbside pickup. Now, go forth and conquer hunger (and maybe share some gummy bears with your new best friend, the search bar).
