Turkey, Bacon, Avocado. Walmart & a yummy Sandwich #cbias

Many of you know that I’m big on anything that involves time saving. “Time is money” as many would say, but in my case, “Time is precious,” so anything I can do to condense my errands into a one stop shop is of big importance to me. Why? Mainly because I find that if I balance my errands with my play dates, my kids are a lot less whiney and I can get a lot more accomplished in a shorter period of time. You Mama’s know what I’m talking about! There’s nothing like having to run errands in 3-4 locations with two little ones in tow trying to explain to them why they can’t grab everything off the shelves, and why Tinkerbell has to sleep in the store and not come home with us.

This is one of the main reasons I’m enjoying shopping at the Walmart near my house, not only does it have all the basic household necessities that I need, but it also has a full grocery section that includes a Deli, Fresh Produce and Freezer section. Awesome right?! This summer we’ve been having a lot of play dates with friends at the park and at the pool and I love packing healthy lunches for my kids. It’s so important when you spend a lot of time in the sun to be avoid junk food and refueling with lots of water. So off to Walmart I went to restock my fridge with lunch meat, fruit and some extra snacks. 

When I go shopping for lunch meat, I usually prefer to buy turkey. I know, boring right? I agree, but my family loves turkey and so that’s what we eat most often. I’ve tried in the past to branch out and try ham and roast beef, but I usually end up eating it. When I got to Walmart I did a little fresh produce shopping first. I restocked up on bananas, apples, grapes, apple sauce… the usually favorites in my house. I also grabbed a couple avocados. My kids love them whether they are in their sandwich or a side on their plate. Then I headed back to Walmart’s deli packaged meat section. They actually have a great selection of meats and for me, being a turkey lover, I love that they offer more than one kind of turkey to choose from. To be honest I try to be more of a bargain shopper so I tend to lead towards the packaged turkey that’s the best bang for my buck. Every once in a while I’ll go with the flavor of turkey a prefer over the price though.

After grabbing some turkey, the kids and I picked up some bread, mayo, pretzel thins, and some animal crackers. I can’t help it, we love animal crackers in our house. May not be the healthiest snack, but they sure are yummy. Takes me back to being a kids and my mom buying them for me as a treat. 

We headed home and while the kids enjoyed their lunch, I decided to go ahead and make our packed lunches for our pool play date. Here’s the recipe for the yummy Turkey, Bacon & Avocado sandwich I made.

– Bread

– Mayo

– Mustard (if you like it, I’m not a fan)

– Lemon Pepper (Yum!)

– Turkey

– Cheese

– Avocado

– Bacon

– Lettuce

1. I love to toast my bread, even though it may not still be warm when I eat it, I love biting into toasted bread. Then I add mayo and Lemon Pepper for extra flavor. I use wheat bread because it’s so much healthier for myself and my children, any kind of bread works too.

If you have a Super Walmart near your home I highly recommend shopping there to get great deals on food and fresh produce. I have really enjoyed benefitting from the great prices they offer and the wide range of selection they have.
