Lol. I still go to the store, but at least all the major necessities are delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215864 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:17:54 +0000 mediagirl 1215864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen to books on cd in the car. I have a decent commute so I can crank a book out in a week. ....does that count?

I think you girls just talked me into trying it. I might place an order this evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215774 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:44:20 +0000 cascademom 1215774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberry: I love it. It saves lists of past orders. I can order from there. I have the app on my iPhone and iPad, so I can update it easily if I remember something I need. For us, it's worth the delivery fee. They also have coupon codes and value delivery days. I need to buy $15 worth of free produce thanks to a code I earned. I should say that LO earned. My LO loves strawberries and blueberries so much while I binge on grapes daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215769 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:42:29 +0000 sandy 1215769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: i do the same for our groceries! I fold my laundry this way too...fold in stacks and put it in the basket in the order it'll get put away. </p> <p>I often make LO's lunch in the morning and put it in an insulated Thermos container so that we can just come home and eat lunch. So today I heated up roasted chicken, pasta and broccoli all ready and it will still be warm at lunchtime. I'll drop her off at school, run errands, pick her up and I won't have to come home and prep lunch for her</p> <p>I put a load of laundry in while my husband is doing bedtime with LO...I have it set to start around lunch time the next day so I can throw it in the dryer after lunch and it'll be done around naptime...then I can put on some bad tv and fold laundry while LO naps. I love the automatic timer so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215766 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:42:03 +0000 cascademom 1215766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: I love, love Peapod. We've been using it since I went back to work. It makes managing grocery shopping so much easier. I sometimes supplement with stuff we need from the produce market up the street. Otherwise, we're pretty much all Peapod. I like their fresh fish and frozen meats, etc. So worth it for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215743 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:32:49 +0000 petunia354 1215743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberry: @cascademom: I do Peapod almost exclusively. It is SO worth the delivery fee for me. Occasionally they will be out of stock on something and not substitute, which is annoying but for the most part everything is fresh and in good condition when it arrives. It was truly a lifesaver when I was on bed rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215704 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:12:40 +0000 cranberry 1215704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: What do you think of Peapod? I just checked their website and it's available in my area and I was thinking about trying it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215545 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:57:09 +0000 cascademom 1215545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do Peapod and receive the groceries on one of my work from home days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215513 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:45:19 +0000 bpcmarj 1215513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I haven't tried it yet, our local grocery store has a free pick up service. You order online and just come and get your order. No fees. This sounds like a HUGE time saver (but it's the more expensive of our local stores). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215482 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:36:40 +0000 jedeve 1215482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Auto bill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215421 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:19:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 1215421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yes!!!

Have everyting in order so there's no backtracking..I get mad if I mess up and have to "run back" to produce, ect. ;) </p> <p>I lay out E's outfits for the entire week so either of us can dress her and I always do mine the night before. </p> <p>I prep food on Sunday (cuttings/cleaning/making when I can) to cut down on dinner time during the week.</p> <p>I do a load of laundry a night so there is not one big "laundry" day. I also run the dishwasher nightly/empty it so there's no need to do that the next day. </p> <p>I run errands over my lunch break so I don't have to worry about doing them at night to cut into my LO time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215406 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:13:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 1215406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: ooh I did that too! it's amazing how much faster it goes..I also don't spend as much time browsing and finding things I don't need but want. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215395 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:10:45 +0000 doodlepoodle 1215395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a list of groceries ahead of time and put them down in the same way the store is organized so I don't have to circle back. May seem silly but it helps me!</p> <p>Shower @ night and air dry my hair<br /> Prep lunch/coffee maker and such night before bc mornings are hectic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-some-time-savers#post-1215359 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:59:51 +0000 autumnlove 1215359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently tried the mail option for my prescription BCP for the first time...I put in the request on Tuesday and my pills arrived on Wednesday! woo hoo!</p> <p>I know I SHOULD call the USPS and have them come to me but I still go to the post office and suffer in long lines. :) </p>
