Everyone knows that moms are always busy and on the run from one place to the next. Whether it’s grocery store trips, play dates, soccer games, you name it…there’s always somewhere to be. Now more than ever, we are all relying on our cell phones to house our communication with friends and family, our personal and work schedules, emails, appointments, and pretty much everything else, too. As much as we’re on the go and we travel, I know the value of unlimited data that is budget friendly. So the fact that I can have all of the above with the Walmart Family Mobile Plus…yes, please! Sign me up! That’s just one less thing this mama has to worry about.
Life is chaotic, but being a mom to my little dudes is where it’s at for me! So anyway I maximize my hours throughout the day to give me extra time with them, I’m all about it. I sit down every morning to see what is on our schedule for the day. These apps help me make the most of my time so I can focus on the things that matter the most!
- OneNote: I’ve always been a note taker and love making to-do lists, but sometimes I don’t have anything to write on. I always have my phone so this app comes to the rescue. I can literally make tabs for every little thing.
- Google Calendar: I keep all upcoming appointments, play dates, blogger events, birthdays, and more in this app. It’s seriously amazing and having all of those important things handy at a moments notice is so convenient!
- Our Groceries Shopping List: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to write down different food items we need…until this app! The minute I realize we are running low on something in the fridge or pantry, I hop on and log it into my list for my next grocery run.
- A+ Preschool Education: If there’s a need for Harper to be on a phone, I prefer it to be something educational, and this fits the bill! I love that he has multiple options in this app.
- VUDU: At the end of the day when the busyness is wearing off, we have family time. Daddy’s home and it’s just me and my boys. Once a week we do a movie night in pajamas and popcorn. We love this app because we can stream tv shows and movies any time we want on our tablet or ROKU. Plus, with Walmart Family Mobile Plus, we get one free movie a month! Makes movie night so fun and easy!
The great thing about using these apps throughout the day is not having to worry about how much data I’m using! We used to hit our data limit halfway through the month with other companies and then would be charged overages. I know I’m not the only person looking to save money. The fact that Walmart Family Mobile Plus offers unlimited data(up to 10GB of 4G LTE), talk, text and it’s only $49.88, it’s pretty incredible. Not to mention the free movie on VUDU ($7 value) each month! There’s no better time to make the swap than right now with it being a new year and with refunds coming back from taxes. It’s a better service with great prices for some pretty amazing phones!
I’ve been loving my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, which was only $79.92 (Rollback from $99.92)! I found it in the electronics section of the store. Once I decided on a phone and grabbed the $25 Starter Kit, I was good to go!
Ready to make the switch? Which phone would you choose from Walmart’s Family Mobile Plus section?
I’m going to have to look into this! We basically get our service for free now (that’s what happens when your married to the cable guy lol), but I would like to get something for the kiddo!
Lol! Lucky girl! Yes, it’s definitely an incredible price for one phone or the whole family!
This sounds like a great plan! I will definitely look into it when my current contract is up.
Doesn’t it? It’s really amazing for us considering we’ve paid so much more in the past. Thanks for reading, Robin! :)
I got Walmart Family Mobile for my son who is always online playing games. I love that we get that free movie as well. It sure does come in handy for our family movie night.
It’s perfect for kiddos without breaking the bank! We love the movies, too! :)
Great tips for busy moms on the go! I use my Google Calendar all the time, such a lifesaver. So nice to not have to worry about data while using all these apps! #client
Thank you! Me too! Love my Google Calendar!
Thanks for letting us all know about these great apps! I’m downloading the grocery list one NOW! I’m always forgetting my grocery list!
Of course! :) Thanks for reading, friend! This grocery app is seriously a lifesaver!
Can’t live out Google Calendar or a notes app. It really helps me stay organized all year long.
Isn’t it great?! Love it!
This is completely off subject but I love your notebook! I am headed to download that grocery list app!
Thank you! It’s from Tiny Prints. :)
I know this post is about maximizing time, but I can’t stop oogling those perfect PJs you are wearing! I love button up sets like that! :)
Lol! That made me laugh. Thank you. They are my favorite and of course from Target.
I am currently actively looking for a new wireless plan. The plans are just so insanely expensive, I am ready to give up and see if I can find my grandma’s old rotary phone. I am going to have to check this out before I throw in the towel!
They really are just outrageous! It’s so refreshing to see a plan and phones that are affordable.
I absolutely love One Note! It makes life so much easier to have a place to put all of the information you need to remember!
Yes, LOVE that app! :)
Love this and much needed tips I really need to use my calendar more !
Thanks for reading, Laci.
Wow! I’m looking to drop Verizon. Thanks for giving me another option.
You’re welcome. Thanks for reading. :)
I need to check out that note taking app….. I never have paper either. Sigh. How did I not think that there would be an app for that??
Ha! Right? There’s an app for everything, and that’s an awesome one.
This sounds like a great plan! I couldn’t manage without my phone to stay organized.
I’m in the same boat, girl! Lol!
The note taking app sounds awesome. Thanks for the tip. I don’t use my phone very often for organization but it looks like I need to start.
It definitely keeps me organized because my phone is always with me. So having everything in it has helped tremendously.
Great tips! Always looking for ways to maximize my time and routines! We have a grocery store pick up service where I order groceries online, someone else shops them and when I pull up they put in my car. It has been a HUGE time saver each week!
Thanks for reading, Roxanne!
I love all of the apps you have listed. Time is so valuable especially when you are running around like crazy with kids.
Yes, so valuable! I definitely want to utilize what I can so I’m with my boys more. Thanks for reading, Krystle!
That is a fantastic price plan you have bagged yourself a bargain. I like that they have so much to offer.
Yes, they really did have so many options! Something for everyone!
I would be a hopeless wreck without my phone to remind me of even the smallest of things. My business supports my family and without the internet on my phone to take on the go, I wouldn’t be able to grow that business.
Me too! This day and age, not many people can operate without them. We don’t even have a home phone! Lol!
I have always been a fan of pre-paid phone service. I’m so glad that Walmart has made it easy for families to be relevant with technology and fiscally conscious.
Yes, it’s wonderful! Thanks for reading, Toni!
I love the VUDU app! It is how we buy/rent most of our movies because it is so much cheaper than cable! Looks like a great plan.
Isn’t it great! We’re all about saving money!
Great choices of apps. My kids love playing my phone, especially the educational games.
Thank you! Yes, my little man does too. They’re great to have handy!
i will definitely keep this in mind to check out for my daughter when we get her a phone (which will be soon) – looks like the have great prices on this phone
Yes, amazing prices! Thanks for reading, Laura!
I have already heard positive reviews of this plan but your has convinced me to try. Will check their website for more information.
Awesome! It really is such a great deal that you cannot beat!
In this digital world, apps are so awesome! Must check this out!! Such sn informative post!
Yes, they really are! Thanks so much for reading.
Next time that I am at Walmart, I will have to check out the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. Lately, I’ve been hearing good things about the Samsung Galaxy line, and did not know you could get one through a Walmart phone plan.
Yeah, you should. They have so many options.
Great tips! I use my phone to stay organized as well! From note taking to grocery shopping list to the calendar. It really does help keep things together..
Me too! It really does help so much! Thanks for reading.
