Stock Up & Save with P&G and Walmart Plus Giveaway 4/29

4/16/2015

Now that spring is finally here to stay, it's time to begin the dreaded Spring Cleaning. Why do I say dreaded? Well, have you ever tried to get a teenage boy to leave the comfort of his room to help with some major cleaning? Whenever I attempt this, Kyle seems to get very sleepy in the blink of an eye. Or, when he's feeling really creative, his bones are broken. (Of course they aren't. He just claims this to avoid doing his share of the chores.) When it's time for Spring Cleaning, this mama goes from a laid-back, chill, hippie chick to a barking Drill Sergeant. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Anyway, to prepare for our annual Spring Cleaning, I headed to Walmart to stock up on several household essentials. Now through April 30th, Walmart is hosting the P&G Stock Up & Save event, which offers even lower prices on the brands and products people use the most like Tide, Bounty, Tampax, and more! There are Rollback prices and even special bonus sizes available. Stocking up has never been more painless or affordable!

During the P&G Stock Up and Save Event you can save on the following items:

Tide Liquid Laundry Detergent
Tide Simply Clean and Fresh Liquid Laundry Detergent
Charmin Ultra Soft or Ultra Strong Toilet Paper
Bounty Mega Roll Select-A-Size Paper Towels
Luvs Super Absorbent Diapers
Pampers Swaddlers Huge Pack
Tampax Pearl Plastic, Super Absorbency
Always Ultra Thin Long Super Unscented Pads
Always Discreet Maximum Underwear
Always Discreet Moderate Regular Length Pads

When we headed to our local Walmart, this event was clearly a hit! A few of the products I wanted to grab weren't in stock. No worries, though. There were still plenty of great deals to choose from, like these brand new Bounty with Dawn Paper Towels. I have to say, these are genius. They actually have the power of Dawn Dish Soap embedded into the towels. This makes cleaning up spills, messes, etc simpler than ever.

We also stocked up on some Liquid Tide as well as convenient Tide Pods. I got the Tide Pods for my teenager, Kyle. He does his own laundry, and the pods make this foolproof for him. No need to measure, and no more sticky detergent spills on the top of the washing machine. It's a win-win situation. Seriously, though.....How does he manage to get detergent ALL OVER the washing machine, anyway? Must be a teenage thing. Or maybe a guy thing. Or both!

We were able to find some really fantastic deals on all of our favorite P&G products at Walmart during their Stock Up & Save Event. We took advantage of the super-low prices and bought enough detergent, paper towels, and toilet paper to last quite some time, and all without breaking the bank. This event is going on right now, and will run through April 30, 2015. Hurry on over and grab all the household essentials on your list! Happy Spring Cleaning, everyone!

Enter to win a $25 Walmart Gift Card :

I am thrilled to announce that one lucky reader will receive a $25 Walmart gift card so they can stock up and save on their favorite P&G items, too!

My best spring cleaning tip is to take it one room at a time so you don't feel overwhelmed!

lisa grimm

I forgot the question. My husband is talking up a storm. I like the Bounty paper towels. I won't use a sponge to clean my counter tops. It spreads germs.I am going through room by room cleaning top to bottom. I kind of went on stroke a few tears ago, hoping to motivate my husband. All that did was make a huge mess for me. Now, I'm cleaning and having a say so.

Natalie

My spring cleaning tip is to give away any clothes that you have not worn for a year.

Ann Fantom

4/16/2015 10:42:14 am

My Spring cleaning tip is to use your used dryer sheets for dusting. The static electricity in the dryer sheet traps the dust

4/16/2015 10:47:22 am

My tip is to declutter first, decide what to toss away or donate, then clean one room, one area of one room, at a time.

Barbara Montag

4/16/2015 06:12:27 pm

As I'm decluttering I carry a basket with me to put things in that belong in another room.
Saves a lot of steps.
thank you

I use baking soda and water and make a paste to clean grease off the top of the stove and in my electric fryer to clean it out too.

I find that when I play music that is very fast, I get my cleaning done much quicker and I enjoy it more.

April

Dust first, and then vacuum.

steve weber

Make sure you do one room at a time - otherwise it gets exhausting and frustrating.

lisa

4/17/2015 12:59:17 am

Just getting started is the toughest part. For a big cleaning job, if possible, I try to empty the room and really give it a good cleaning.

Cynthia C

4/17/2015 01:06:52 am

My tip is to break up cleaning into smaller tasks and do a few every day so you don't get overwhelmed.

Lyndsey

One room at a time, and clean top to bottom!

Jacqueline Diaz link

4/17/2015 04:58:33 am

Start with one room at a time; do the thing you least one to do first that way you have it out of the way you won't have to worry about it.

When organizing storage buckets and boxes are your friend. You can spring clean year round by doing little things throughout the year like going through cabinets, closets and other items.

Deborah Wellenstein

4/17/2015 06:08:01 am

To get started, I first distribute everything that does not belong to its rightful place.

Amanda Alvarado

Do one room a day.

Jeffrey

4/17/2015 10:27:41 pm

My best tip is to save the room you hate cleaning the most for the beginning to get it over with.

lisa

4/18/2015 10:11:12 am

Don't try to overdo it. You'll just get discouraged and not finish cleaning. Be realistic with your goals.

shirley

4/18/2015 03:40:34 pm

Crystal F

4/18/2015 09:20:43 pm

I say clean a little at a time so that you don't over do it. If you try to do too much you will get tired of it and not finish. Thank you!

Marilyn Nawara

4/18/2015 10:17:58 pm

Clean 1 room at a time. Gather all of the supplies you will need for that room and get going.

Pamela Gurganus

4/18/2015 11:48:46 pm

My best spring cleaning tip is I take one full week to do my spring cleaning. I clean one to two rooms a day from top to bottom. By taking my time, this way I know the rooms get thoroughly cleaned and organized.

lisa

4/19/2015 02:16:31 am

I'm trying not to overdo it. When I do, I get sore and don't get anything done the next day.

Kristen

4/19/2015 05:54:07 am

I like to do a little bit every evening so I don't have to feel like I "wasted" a whole day cleaning! (and sometimes I have more energy in the evening)

Natalie

4/19/2015 09:37:59 am

Use vinegar to clean hardwood floors.

David Smith link

4/19/2015 02:04:46 pm

It's always a bonus if you can get the kids to do the cleaning!

lisa

4/20/2015 09:26:54 am

Take a look around. Decide how much time each task may take and allow for it. Get a list together and start, somewhere.

Natalie

4/20/2015 09:37:02 am

My best spring cleaning tip is to give away any clothes that you have not worn for a year.

Megan Scharlau

4/20/2015 11:18:38 pm

Focus on one thing at a time. Go through your rooms and make a big box of things to donate that you haven't used in the past year!

Seyma Shabbir

4/21/2015 01:31:43 am

Start my getting rid of stuff you do not use! Sell it or donate it! Less dust to clean!

lisa

4/21/2015 02:38:53 am

Whenever possible I try to use natural products to clean with, vinegar and baking soda, items like that. Harsh cleansers were making me very ill from the fumes. Also for cleaning walls I have been using a clean sponge mop. It gets the whole wall clean without stretching. Just make sure you really squeeze out the excess water first and change the water often.

Elena

kath g

4/21/2015 03:51:41 pm

Sometimes I clean while I'm watching something on tv. Every time a commercial comes on, I dust, vacuum or put something away. (An hour show has 20 min. of ads, so it's pretty easy to do.)

Barbara Montag

4/21/2015 10:00:30 pm

I clean my linoleum floors with water and vinegar.
Love that it's natural and cleans so well.

lisa

4/22/2015 01:06:17 am

I set aside a certain amount of time each day and concentrate on one room at a time. Once that's done, I move to the next. If I try to clean each room I get overwhelmed.

Rebecca Orr

4/22/2015 01:19:09 am

When I spring clean, I do it one room at a time. That way, I do not get overwhelmed.

Deb Jackson

4/22/2015 03:47:03 am

I start in the center of the ceiling and work down.

Leela

4/22/2015 04:44:01 am

I tackle one room one day at a time.

Tabathia B

4/22/2015 06:52:55 am

I keep the duster in my living room and when I walk out and go room to room, I take it with me so I can dust

Christina

4/22/2015 12:18:37 pm

Every Spring, I do a major overhaul. I clean closets, cabinets, ceilings, fans and baseboards. Things that u don't always get to but desperately need to. I took a whole car load to a local consignment shop after this years cleaning spree!

Laurie Nykaza

4/22/2015 07:21:34 pm

You need to stay in one room to clean and not go to others until its finished.

lisa

4/23/2015 12:21:44 am

Today I'm taking it easy. We've had so much rain the grass is pretty tall. If I can get the old mower started I'm be cutting the grass.

kath g

4/23/2015 04:29:38 pm

i put old socks on my hands to dust the smaller things.

lisa

4/24/2015 03:11:45 am

Pick up, wipe down, dust, just do something small as you pass through each room. It only takes a minute, but it all adds up.

polly

4/24/2015 10:35:21 am

I clean one or two rooms daily so it's not so overwelming

June Lisle

4/24/2015 02:45:15 pm

lisa

4/27/2015 02:31:13 am

When the weather gets warm enough I take all of the window blinds off , take them outdoors and give them a cleaning. It's amazing how dirty they get over the course of a year.

Chelsea B.

4/27/2015 11:11:36 am

Don't get too overwhelmed. It's okay to take breaks! I promise, it'll still be there ;-)

Kamla Layne

4/27/2015 12:44:06 pm

Take it one day and one room at a time purging as much clutter as possible as you go. I listen to audio books while I'm cleaning which makes cleaning seem less like a chore.

lisa

4/29/2015 01:33:42 am

I need to decide what stays, what gets thrown out, and what will be donated. I've already washed up several almost new pair of pants and some boots. I used to be fat, and now I can't wear the jeans because I've I've lost a lot of weight. Anyways,I boxed the stuff up and left a sign saying free. Everything was taken.

Laurie Emerson

My best tip is to make a list before you begin. Put in one column things you want to get rid of and in another column put what you want to save. It really saves time when you are trying to figure out what to keep.

Sarah L

4/29/2015 01:49:48 pm

Don't try to do too much at once. Pace yourself.
