From social calendars to back to school prep, the summer isn’t always the most relaxing time. As moms, it can feel like we’re burning the candle from both ends trying to enjoy the last few dwindling days of summer while also preparing for the big back to school shift. And when you have picky eaters, it makes the grocery shopping and lunch packing all the more stressful.
As a trusted shopping solution aimed at making parents’ lives easier, Shipt knows all too well that the back to school season is a tricky one to navigate. This year, their team is determined to take one thing off our plates. They’re helping parents with picky eaters prepare for the return to school with time-saving tips along with deals and inspiration for snack and lunch options.
Save Time and Money
We know there’s been a steady increase in the cost of back to school shopping over the last few years. We can all feel our wallets squeezing while we do our best to pinch those pennies. Shipt is doing what it can to help make it a little easier on us this year with a series of promotional offerings that won’t break the break. Currently you can get $10 off your order with promo code BACKTOSCHOOL when you shop from 8/1-9/6.
Shipt also has great time saving solutions that make stocking up on groceries every week easier than ever. With Shipt’s Lists feature in the app, you can curate personalized collections of must-have items in advance that can then be bulk-added to carts with the click of a button. Auto-Add to Cart helps busy parents to seamlessly restock on essentials that will automatically appear in their carts at a frequency of their choosing.
