Do you ever wake up on a Saturday and think of all the fun stuff you want to do like take the kids to the zoo or a fun date night with your spouse, or just lay in bed and watch Netflix all day?  The possibilities are endless…until you remember you’re dangerously low on toilet paper or trash bags, and you must spend the day shopping.
This was me a couple Saturdays ago.  We had been on a few road trips, so I hadn’t been to the store in ages.  I had no desire to waste my Saturday doing that. I was still in that vacation bliss where I didn’t want it to end, and grocery shopping would definitely have popped that bubble.
I will readily admit I do enjoy the free samples while shopping at Costco.  But, the checkout lines on the weekend can be a nightmare.  I just dread it.  I have often wished there was a way to just have the things I want from Costco delivered and do something fun instead.
Luckily, I had a voucher to try out Google Express, so I was able to shop in my pajamas and order what I needed.  I stocked up on necessities from Costco. The best part? I got to skip those checkout lines and had it delivered right to the door!
Instead of spending the weekend shopping, my husband and I had a super fun date around our city! There’s an app on our phones that turns our town’s downtown square into a scavenger hunt that we have been dying to try. It was a blast!
We found new places to try like a coffee house with a booth made from the lane of a bowling alley to some interesting and fun facts about the history of our town.  Plus, as a reward for finishing our scavenger hunt, we got free ice cream from the best ice cream parlor in Texas. My favorite is always the handmade bubblegum ice cream.
Part of our hunt led us to one of our favorite local restaurants where we stopped and shared this gigantic chicken fried steak.  It was such a great time. I was so glad we were able to have fun and hang out together.
I was totally feeling refreshed after a relaxing weekend, and by Monday my order showed up with all the things I needed — my much-needed trash bags, cereal for the kids, and a few staples that were running low. Â You would not believe how fast my family goes through ketchup.
Ordering online in your pjs is awesome, but the one thing that drives me crazy is when I can’t find all the things I need at one place no matter how hard I try, and I end up with orders to different stores just to get it all. Google Express solves that problem! You can shop from local stores and national chains like Target, Kohls, and Costco and checkout all of it together.  Plus, when you become a member, shipping is fast and free on eligible orders and delivered within 1-2 days, sometimes even the same day!

I love the idea of having stuff delivered to our door. We are so busy and with the kids (especially 3 toddlers) going to the busy store never sounds appealing to me! I also love the idea of the app that makes your town a scavenger hunt! How fun is that!
That is so cool! I never heard about that before! Having two working adults, it sucks spending our free time shopping!! This would be a great alternative!
Sounds like you had a fantastic date night and I love Google Express!!
I haven’t tried Google Express yet, but I see so many raving about it. Almost seems better than Amazon Prime, so that is worth checking out!
I have to admit that I really love the idea of Google Express. It is convenient and it will save the head of waiting in line as well as gas money in the end. Thanks for sharing the information and I will be looking into this for sure.
I love the idea of this! Especially because I don’t have a car, so going shopping always entails an Uber and multiple trips, so it gets old real quick. I’ll have to look into this!
Google Express is not in my area yet, but as soon as it is, I will definitely be trying it!
Google Express what? I am so excited about this, I am eight months pregnant and could totally use this service.
Wow I cannot WAIT to use htis service! As if Google wasn’t already awesome, ha! This is exciting!
I have never heard of Google Express before but I am going to check it out. Anything to save time is a win in my book.
I have been hearing so many great things about Google Express lately. I need to check them out soon. I think it would be a nice service to have!
A scavenger hunt app sounds like so much fun. Great for a date night idea.
I have never heard of this app before!! What a great way to save time, I need to check this out we always run out of things last minute.
That is a pretty sweet deal. I will have to place an order soon and have some fun!
Online shopping has been my life saver ever since I became a Mom and moved here in the US. I don’t like to drive so shopping online is a must for me.
I love online shopping because it is definitely more convenient for me. I haven’t tried Google Express yet though. Will check it out.
I love being able to get my shopping done from home!
This is seriously the answer to every mama’s dream! No lugging the kids, no having to get them in and out of the car, no waiting in lines! Definitely checking it out now! Thanks!
This is so cool, I’ve never heard of Google Express before. I like how it works with your budget and lifestyle to give you the things you need and love right to your doorstep.
My friends swear by it, they do. To them it’s worth the delivery fee. But I like to browse Costco!
ah, love google express. so handy
I need to check this out. I love online shopping in my pjs
Yeah this sounds so awesome to my lazy self… I really need to check this out… Or somehow stop procrastinating everything.
I have not heard of this before!! I love anything that saves me time especially if I have to take the kids with me somewhere!
Oh, I don’t think Google Express is already available here but I just think it is a fantastic service. It was so nice that you and your husband was able to spend qualiy time over the weekend.
That would be so nice to have things delivered instead of having to run out and get them! I’m intrigued with the service for sure!
I love Google Express. Looks like you guys had a busy and entertained night!
Google Express is so cool! I will use it for everything haha.
You can’t really deny how awesome this service is! It’s so convenient and it’s perfect for people who barely have time to go out and shop. It’s perfect for moms!
Sounds exciting. I haven’t heard the google express
Oh wow! What a great service. I’m going to have to give it a try the next time we’re out and about 🙂
I haven’t tried Google express. As a matter of fact, I only hear about it via this post.
So this sounds extremely great! Plus you have given us such a great deal to try it out.
Google Express seems so perfect for those that may have busy schedules or maybe don’t have stores close to one another. I love it!
I am hearing more and more great things about Google Express. I really need to try it out for myself. Of course, coming from Google, it has to be good.
I’ve heard of Google Express but I’ve never used it before. I really need to check it out because I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it. 🙂
How awesome is that?! Especially if you live somewhere a little further out!!!!
se manifique! how convenient and easy to use! trust google to come out with something so awesome. i cant wait to try it, thanks for updating me about it
Oooo how awesome is this?!?! This is the first time hearing of it for me. Must try it out!
I love it that you need not worry about your groceries and just waiting for it to be brought home. Surely this gives one more time for his family to eat out or even watch movies.
This sounds so awesome! I’m definitely going to have to check it out now!
Google’s looking good with this type of fast, convenient service! I like how it introduces itself with a promotion like this, I would love to try it.
