We grocery shop a lot. With three little kids, we have no choice but to shop every week. Sometimes I am good and I make a list and meal plan. That helps a TON. But other times? I just go with it.
Walmart has always been a place where we do our grocery shopping. We have one pretty close to us and we tend to visit that Walmart often. Plus, I like that Walmart has lots of snack options for the kids!
Since it is summer, the kids are home and they get hungry! Having healthy snacks on hand for them to nibble on between meals is ESSENTIAL to making this house work! No one likes being hungry and waiting for dinner!
One thing I have always wanted to do with my kids is pack a picnic lunch and go eat it in a nice park! I swore to myself that I would do this before the summer is over. I better hurry it up, because I still need to keep that promise to myself and do this! With the help of Walmart and Smucker, I am pretty sure I can do it! I still have time!!
By preparing for our upcoming park picnic date, I must first visit our local Walmart and grab some healthy snacks for the kiddos!
Some snacks on our list are:
Jif To Go Dippers
Smucker’s Squeeze
Jif Whips
Of course there will be other yummy things on our grocery list, but those above, are the yummy essentials!
The kids are excited to help me prepare for our family picnic and I am excited to go on a picnic with my family. Oh it really is the simple things, isn’t it?
What do you want to do with your family before the summer is out? Do you want to go on a picnic, go fishing, boating or just relax in the sun with a good book? What are your favorite summer go-to snacks?

Our favorite Summer snack is strawberries and popsicles. Yum!

A picnic sounds like the perfect idea. My boys have already gone back to school but I plan on doing this during a weekend for a sweet treat.
Amy Desrosiers says
Walmart does have tons of snacks that are reasonably priced! My kids will be getting Smucker’s Jam in their lunch boxes soon.

My boys like peanut butter on basically everything. We’re trying to get in a few more pool days before school starts.
Penelope says
They have everything! And the best prices too.

Summer is already over for us! School is already back in session! Those Jif To Go Dippers would make a great after school snack!
Ann Bacciaglia says
I am hoping to get to Canada’s Wonderland with the kids before school starts. Walmart is the best place to shop for snacks. I love that they price match any store.

My family loves to dip anything so we love those dippers too. We love trail mixes and I’ll have to try those whips!
Chasing Joy says
A picnic lunch sounds like such fun. Cute idea.
Kristi says
We still have to go to a small theme park before school and also the State fair. Both will be our bid farewell to summer and you have some great suggestions for snacks.
Rose says
I love those Jif Dippers. Those are great for my son’s packed lunches!

So need to stock up on some snacks now that I saw this post! Walmart is a great way to save on food but get everything you want.
Jeanine says
Walmart is right around the corner from us so we do a lot of our shopping there. Multiple times a day some days!! Cant beat the prices.
Debbie @ Girl Raised in the South says
Don’t worry if you don’t do it before school starts up – surprise them with a picnic dinner! They will love it and so will you!
Kim Delatorre says
Oh great idea!!!
Holly says
We just went on a hike to finish out our summer!
Kim Delatorre says
How fun! We need to do that too!
Sabrina @ Dinner, then Dessert says
I definitely think there’s enough time in this summer for one or two more picnics! It’s just so much fun to eat outside in the fresh air!
Felicia says
Yes! I was just at Walmart tonight picking up goodies, snacks and back to school supplies. Now I need a cookie!
Toni | Boulder Locavore says
Those Jif Whips look tasty! We always shop at Walmart!
Liz Mays says
I picnic would be awesome right about now. I still have to try some of those Jif whips.
Debbie Denny says
We have another trip to the creek planned. Probably a picnic.
Marcie W. says
I would like to get in a few more park playdates and make s’mores before summer is officially over. We love yummy snacks and those Jif Whips will definitely be in my cart during my next grocery trip!

I like string cheese and seedless grapes. Walmart’s about 7 miles from our house, and is a great go-to place for almost everything! I try to take a list with me for grocery and snack shopping, because there is just too much good stuff to break my budget! A picnic sounds like a lot of fun.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I have a dog, a husband, and a house full of kids. I ALWAYS shop at Walmart.

With 2 hungry little boys in the house, we always make sure to stock up on snacks. Uncrustables are one of their favorites!
