Walmart Pickup: A Guide for the Disorganized Procrastinator (That's Me!)
Let's face it, folks, traditional grocery shopping is a test of endurance. Between the screaming children wielding juice boxes like grenades and the elderly couple debating the merits of prune selection (IYKYK), it's enough to make you want to live off of air (not recommended). Thankfully, Walmart Pickup is here to be your knight in shining armor, or perhaps your knight in a motorized shopping cart (because chivalry is expensive these days).

| How To Walmart Pickup |
Step 1: Embrace the Digital Age (or at least pretend to)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app. Think of it as your magic shopping portal. Don't worry, even the most technologically challenged can navigate this. It's basically online shopping for people who wear socks with sandals (no judgement).
Pro Tip: Download the app while you're, ahem, "researching" the latest cat videos online. Multitasking is a beautiful thing.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Homer Simpson (But with a Smaller Cart)
Now for the fun part: filling your virtual cart with goodies. Go wild! Remember that 35-dollar minimum for free pickup? Challenge accepted. Treat yourself to that giant bag of gummy bears and that inflatable pool you definitely don't need. It's called self-care, people!
Important Note: Walmart offers the option to choose substitutes if your desired item is out of stock. Be warned, though. You might end up with a surprise box of pickles instead of your favorite brand of peanut butter. Just roll with it. Consider it a culinary adventure!
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Step 3: Become a Master of Time Management (-ish)
Once your cart is overflowing (virtually, of course), you get to pick a pickup time. Think of it as the golden ticket to skipping the checkout line. Feeling fancy? Snag an evening slot and swing by Walmart on your way home from work. Feeling like a rebel? Pick a time in the middle of the day and bask in the glory of empty aisles (because everyone else is at work, duh).

Heads Up: If you're a notorious procrastinator like myself, be prepared to have your pick of times limited. But hey, that just means you get to practice your spontaneity skills!
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Step 4: The Grand Pickup (Without the Fancy Clothes)
When your order is ready, you'll be notified by the Walmart app. This is your cue to channel your inner NASCAR driver and zoom to the store (within the limits of the speed limit, of course). Park in the designated pickup spots, which are conveniently located far away from the door because exercise is good for you (or so they say).
Fun Fact: Did you know there's a "check-in" function on the app? It basically tells Walmart you've arrived and are eagerly awaiting your shopping treasures. You can even enter your parking spot number, because who doesn't love a little game of "find the grocery cart"?
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Step 5: Victory Lap (with Snacks!)
Finally, a friendly Walmart associate will bring your groceries out to your car. This is your moment to shine! Pop the trunk, offer them a high five (optional), and then feast on your glorious haul. Because let's be honest, who can resist a post-shopping victory snack?
Congratulations! You've successfully conquered Walmart Pickup! Now you can pat yourself on the back, avoid the meltdown-inducing crowds, and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of having your groceries delivered directly to your car (almost as good as pizza delivery, am I right?).
