And being creative you can now use in your other L I S H link of TIME.

I just love the time I have that I now do not have to use up for grocery shopping that honestly I dreaded. Don't dread things in your life when you have ways to resolve that. : ) Here are the links!

Love love love this addition to my buying. At first I was hesitate and I talked myself out of it many times but boy I am glad I did it. As a busy mom I do not have time nor do I like shopping and if I do not like it why am I doing it when I don't have to? I can not tell you how many times I have rushed through a store in need of something to wear and just bought the first thing I saw with out trying it on (because doing that with kids is impossible) and then come to bring it home and hate it! I have high hopes of returning it but it never happens or I remember after the 30 day return period and there it goes in my closet to just hang there sad to never get worn and me sad when I make myself wear it due to lack of anything else to put on. No more. Now you have a stylist that you give your information to and let them know special events or things you are in need of. They will even look at your pinterest if you have one and see the things you pin to send you things similar. It works best if you take the time to put the info in but that really is not much time at all. You pay a style fee of $20.00 and they send you a box in the mail of clothes to take 3 business days to try on. Try them on in the comfort of your own home with your own lights and clothing to incorporate with. When you buy something know that you are buying something you really love. If you don't like something just send it back. When you purchase you get the style fee you paid deducted from your purchase and the more you keep the more of a discount you receive. Its pretty darn awesome and after a bunch of fixes I have to say it is saving me not only TIME but MONEY and it makes me very happy. The things sent are things I would never think to even take off the rack but when I give them a change I love them! See just a few shifts in things and you can realign. A new system is maybe all you need. If its not for you feel free to cancel at any time. Go ahead and click that link above! : )

When I was pregnant with my 3rd baby I realized the major need to free up time with grocery shopping. Having a newborn baby and 2 other young children I was just not looking forward to making this happen. I know many of you moms do this but for me I just thought that I had to be able to find a resolution to this problem. I did and it was Amazon fresh. I loved this because I love Amazon and shop there for everything almost. Being a prime member I get 2 day shipping and you name it socks, underwear, art supplies etc I buy it.. If I have a need I look on there. Check it off my list and move on! I use Amazon subscribe and save for all my reoccurring monthly items like diapers, wipes, formula (when I needed it) and things you do not want to run out of. It is very easy and the more you subscribe to the more you save. This was my resolution to having to buy expensive formulas for my son and where I found the best price and it came right to my door. It is easy to manage and they do remind you before your things ship so you can update by adding or deleting items you may need or not need. I was unsure and a bit hesitant to do this but I am again glad I did it. It saves me money in the fact that I only get what I need. Costco is my other go to place for these items and I do still have my membership and love that store too but I always get more than I need in there and it can be a crazy place to shop. I do that as an outing with the hubby and that makes it fun. I do not rely on it for those things that need to be in my home each month. Amazon Fresh sadly stopped delivering to my zip code and after I shed a silent tear ( I know, bigger problems but still..) I was off to find a solution to this problem. The solution was Pea pod. Through Giant stores they provide grocery delivery and they have really good products to choose from. I do like my local Giant for the organic section and quality of items so this was a win win situation for me because now I can shop there and still have my groceries delivered. Since with Amazon it is not through the USPS it is an actually delivery driver who you have to be present for you do have the option to tip and I always do. That is not what the delivery charge is for so you may say what! but wait, I am still saving money and to me it is always a joy to see the delivery people light up when I give it to them. I usually do $1 per bag give or take. I usually spend about $100-$120 so I will give for this order around $10.00. I hope that is good! I am still new to this kind of thing. But tip what you want or can and I have been so impressed with all my orders. Like I keep saying, this saves me money and time in the fact that I am only getting what I need. When I shop with my kids so many unhealthy and unneeded items get bought thanks to the "shopper in training" carts that my kids love to push around and sometimes bail on pushing so I am left pushing my big cart and their cart while also trying to entertain a fussy baby in said cart. no way man... I am moving on... Now if we do the little cart it is a fun outing that I take with them for just a few things and allow them to be more involved in the shopping and explaining to them what things are and how they taste and letting them be more involved than the normal stop touching that and stop doing that they normally get from me when I am trying to fulfil a full grocery order. Now some of you go in a bunch of little trips and that works. but for me it never ended up happening. So if your like me click the link above and save $20 and get yourself signed up. : )
Ok so to sum this up...
1. Have groceries delivered - PEAPOD or amazon fresh if you have that option
2. Have your clothes delivered - STITCH FIX ( you will love me for this one!)
Remember to fill in with Local places in your area to promote local business's to bring balance to your buying. Help those local small business too.
Also remember the local business's that are not local as well and for that I love to promote small business by shopping on ETSY.com.
COSTCO is a great option for things but another great online option is being a AMAZON PRIME member and get yourself a AMAZON subscribe and save and they also have prime pantry.
So I hope you have some options for shifting your focus and opening up some more space for creativity, time with family and just plain enjoying the daily tasks that we have to take care of as busy people on the go to the next adventure!
