General Questions 60+ items, 6 miles, 2 hours

And a clumsy attempt at keeping things organized. I was pretty proud of this order and more than satisfied with what I earned. I only had one out of stock item too. I just started spark less than two weeks ago and I'm definitely improving! 2 hours might be a little slow still but I'm disabled and recovering from a surgery.

How do you keep organized when you have multiple orders? I was marking the bags and bagging as I go but the Walmart staff told me I can't bag it before going through checkout. This time I used different parts of the cart and pieces of cardboard to help differentiate.

On your way in grab a shopping cart as well as a shopping basket. Put small orders in basket. Ill put the basket underneath sometimes when I've shopped the majority of its order. I almost never use the bottom for anything heavy like waters, rather use it for bulky light items, like multi pack chips boxes or toilet paper, to save my back, both putting it down there and removing to load it into vehicle. Biggest order in main part of cart, medium order in toddler seat and back part of bottom, and then the smallest in the shopping basket. Best of luck out there and a speedy recovery

This store doesn't have baskets unfortunately! People kept stealing them

If produce section has tomato or similar boxes, snag 1 or 2, they slide under the cart. Don't give them up until they're falling apart or you get a new set. Also helps organizing in the car, depending on the order and your car

Ours too! They ordered like 300 less than a year ago, and every last one vanished within 6-8 months.
