My “Last Shopping Trip Until New Year” Shopping List

by Emily Buys Leave a Comment

Every year, I seem to be out at the stores a day or two before Christmas, getting all of those last minute holiday essentials and home necessities. It always makes me a little sad when I have to do that, because the stores are always so busy that a simple trip to get 2-3 items takes HOURS! And really, all I want to be doing during that time is fun Christmas activities with my kids and enjoying time with loved ones.

So in an effort to be more prepared this year, I went shopping at Walmart this week and stocked up on EVERYTHING that I need so that I don’t have to go to any stores until after New Years Day! That’s right… I am committing not to go to any store for the rest of the entire holiday season! This was no easy thing, but its such a great feeling to know that I can just relax next week and enjoy what matters most for the holidays – Time with my family!

My "Last Shopping Trip Until New Year" Shopping List

The hardest part of this shopping trip was putting together the shopping list for it. I honestly felt as though my head might explode trying to make sure that I didn’t forget anything! I especially wanted to be sure that I had all of the household necessities in, because, let’s face it, Most things we can make do without, but when it comes to essentials like toilet paper, you really can’t manage if you happen to run out. For that reason, I was sure to add all of my family’s favorite household brands to my shopping list. This includes Cottonelle, Kleenex, Scott and Viva brands.

If you want to join me in stocking up for the holidays, and are about to head out for your last shopping trip of the season, let me help you out with your shopping list!! No need for us both to be racking our brains over it!
