Summer break is almost over
Where has the summer gone? At the end of June, my daughter and I both said, “Didn’t June just start?” We had a super fun June, with trips to Put-in-Bay, Kings Island and The Cincinnati Zoo.
I really need a July do-over though. I had stitches on my back for half of the month and the other half of the month I was sick! So not fair! Who gets sick in the summer? Oh well, gotta press on. And pressing on means getting back to business.
This August, back to business in this house means something different for each of us. My daughter, Molly, will be student teaching 6th and 7th grade language arts. My son, Kyle, will be entering his second year of college. I will be keeping you all happy with my writing (agree with me…it’s so much easier). Thank goodness for Walmart.com! With the three of us going in different directions, getting ready for back to college and back to middle school (this time teaching) is crazy.
Anything that helps make my life easier is something I want to share with you. I know we are all so busy that sometimes getting to the store just doesn’t happen. We love being able to shop for the things our family needs at our convenience.
Back to college and back to middle school (sort of)
I’ve loved having my kids home for the summer, but it’s time to get back into our school year routine. If you’ve got kids at home, you know that around this time of the year, you’ve got to get back into the “routine” mindset. No more sleeping in until noon….or all day in some cases.
If your children are going back to college like mine are, shopping online at Walmart is awesome! They know what they’re going to need for the upcoming school year, so they can add their needs to the online cart themselves. Molly knew some of the products she’d need for student teaching, and she got a lot of those needs met shopping online with Walmart.
Getting back to business this fall isn’t just about pens, paper, glue and crayons! It’s about hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes! It’s about paper towels and computer ink. When I was in school, my school supply list was a lot different than it is today. Thankfully, shopping online with Walmart means you’re not running around to a lot of different stores. You can shop anytime 24/7 at your convenience and have the peace of mind that your purchases are satisfaction guaranteed. Plus you will be saving a lot of money thanks to Walmart’s Smart Rollbacks.
Yay for online shopping with Walmart!
The great thing about shopping online with Walmart (second only to saving a ton of money) is when the boxes begin to arrive. Package deliveries are such fun. Our boxes started coming and didn’t stop for 3 days! I made Molly wait to open them all at once. Patience is a virtue.
Then you get to dig in and get your hands on all of the awesome stuff you bought!
Stuff like hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes because 6th and 7th graders can be really germy. And stuff like notebooks because you know you’ll need them since middle school kids are bound to forget paper…not to mention pencils and pens. A planner is a must for a soon-to-be teacher as are computer paper and ink.
The online shopping experience with Walmart makes it very easy to save money. You can compare brands and prices. Having the option to shop Walmart’s Every Day Low Prices and check out the Smart Rollbacks allows you to get the best deals possible. I saved more than $25 this way! And just look at all of the things we were able to buy online.
See for yourself how much you can save by taking advantage of Walmart’s Every Day Low Prices and Smart Rollbacks while shopping for back to school, back to college, and back to business by using Walmart.com!

It definitely makes life easier! Thanks!
Ondria says
I am so happy to be able to order school supplies online from Walmart. Our local stores are always madhouses around this time of year. I’ll save myself the trouble and order online instead of dragging cranky kids to the store with me!
Christy Maurer says
Ugh, dragging cranky kids to the store is definitely no fun! Online shopping with Walmart is the way to go!
Nancy Reyes says
Such an easier way to get the things I need, without dealing with all the crowds.
Christy Maurer says
It is! I love that you can just do it all from home.
candy says
Shopping on line has become a favorite way to go shopping here in the last year. I can take my time, compare prices and shipping fees and really find what I really like, want and need.
Christy Maurer says
That is so true. Comparing prices online saves so much money.
Alli Smith says
Walmart always has such good deals on back-to-school needs. I love ordering online and having it delivered to my front door. I also order birthday and Christmas gifts from Walmart.com. It’s so easy and man, do I like easy!
Christy Maurer says
Easy is the best! I love ordering at Christmas because we’re so busy!
Sarah Bailey says
It sounds like Walmart have some amazing things on offer to help with the back to school buying frenzy.
Christy Maurer says
Yes, they do!
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
I love shopping online! This would have come in handy back when my daughters were in school. My oldest is going to college this year, and luckily shops for her own things now. My youngest is homeschooled, and we didn’t need any supplies this year. However, I’ll keep Walmart in mind when we are in need of more paper/notebooks/etc.
Christy Maurer says
Mine are both in college!
Marcie W. says
We are right there with you as far as thinking about our typical routine and starting to say goodbye to summer. Walmart is always our one stop shop for all school related essentials. They have the best prices by far!
Christy Maurer says
I agree! I don’t like the getting everyone back into that routine, but if you don’t start early, everyone will be crabby!
Amber Myers says
Walmart has the best stuff! I have ordered online before–I might have to just order school supplies online. So much easier!
Christy Maurer says
Definitely try it!
Melanie Smith says
Online shopping at Walmart is my cardio hahaha. They have a lot of supplies and they are so easy to shop!
Christy Maurer says
LOL good plan!
lindsay bozek says
ordering online and picking up in store is so convenient! I do it all the time. I don’t have to wait so long for shipping, and I also don’t have to wander around the store. Perfect 🙂
Christy Maurer says
That is a great idea!
Claudia Krusch says
I love to shop online at Walmart. I can not believe it is almost time for back to school. I have a ton of supplies to get still.
Christy Maurer says
I can’t believe it either! Time is going so quickly!
Pam says
Online shopping makes life so much easier. I can’t believe it is time for back to school season to start already.
Christy Maurer says
I know! This summer flew by!
Tomi C says
Love the online shopping and site to store options from Walmart. Great way to save time and money + no crowds! Here’s wishing your kids a school year full of wonder. Our kids start next week and I, I mean, THEY are so ready to return to school and see all their friends.
Christy Maurer says
Thanks! That’s great that they’re ready to go back.
Kita Bryant says
I love shopping online for anything. However, it sure does beat waiting in lines when it comes to back to school time!
Christy Maurer says
It sure does!
Emely Sofia Castro-Vega says
I love/hate shopping online. It gets out of control sometimes but the deals are hard to beat right?
Christy Maurer says
LOL Yep, it can get out of control.
Rose Cottrill says
We got our school supplies at Walmart as well. Their rollback prices can really save money to us, parents.
Christy Maurer says
Yes, they do!
Margarette Puno says
Shopping online is really great! But i think i prefer on shopping on shopping in the market.
Christy Maurer says
Yeah, it depends on what I’m shopping for!
Kiwi says
I know people love Amazon but I actually do a lot of my shopping on Walmart.com. There are things that are not in the actual stores that are online that I can buy for cheap and they have a lot of options so I am sure back to school shopping and supplies are plentiful on the site.
Christy Maurer says
They do have so many more choices at great prices!
Sandy N Vyjay says
Summer has come and gone in the twinkling of an eye and it is those, “back to school times”. Reminds me of getting back to school after enjoying the summer hols, used to feel miserable. Walmart has quite a range to start you off once again!
Christy Maurer says
Yes, it has just flown by!
Jennifer g says
This is seriously why I love back to school shopping online so much! Especially with my young children I don’t have to drag them around from store to store I already know what size they need and I just order online! Easy-peasy I’m going to have to try Walmart’s online stuff and see how that works out for us this school year. Thank you so much for sharing
Christy Maurer says
You’re welcome! It makes shopping SO much easier! And they’re not begging for things they don’t need either!
Kaycee says
Love the deals that come along at back to school time!!! Thanks so much for the linky! Great to find so many BTS info in one place!!!
Christy Maurer says
I do too and Walmart has awesome ones!
