Default Outfitting a brand new house in TV (cont.)

To continue a previous thread started by GracieGirl....

We are building new in Sanibel. Won't be able to live there full time yet so our time to set up the house is limited. We've already made our furniture purchase at Showcase Direct and it will be delivered and set up the day before closing. What a great buying experience!

Now we need to think about the basic househould stuff (dishes, utensils, small appliances, etc). Got the list from TV Property Management. Just having this list is going to make it easier. But here's what we're thinking...

We're going to pick out as much as we can online at Walmart.com and save it to our cart. They have a free "ship to store" option and they will hold it there for up to 14 days. About a week before we come down is when we'll make the purchase. Then we'll rent a Uhaul van and pick it all up in one visit. We figure this is going to save us a ton of time of having to go through the store.

Has anyone else tried this yet? We'll let you know how it goes in August.
