We made it through the first week of Kindergarten and to my surprise it was rather painless. Sure, I shed a few tears and held my daughter’s hand every single day that I was able to escort her to class. My mommy emotions were in full force but now that we are on week two things have settled down here. It feels really good to be back on schedule, have a good night’s sleep at a normal hour, and a little free time to myself before Toodie arrives home each day. Even though things are slowly getting back on track dinner can be hectic on school nights. Toodie gets home mid-day and by the time we walk through the door she is already asking what is for dinner. Rather than have her overload on snacks I turn to the quick and easy Effortless Meals with Coca-Cola at Walmart. This way I get to take a break from our usual dinner routine and spend more time with my family.
Coca-Cola and Walmart have partnered to make meal time a little less stressful and a bit more enjoyable for families during back to school season. Within the deli department of your nearest Walmart you can find a variety of options – take ‘n bake pizza, flavorful sandwiches and ready-to-serve rotisserie chicken. These convenient meals can be combined with Coca-Cola products for lunch and dinner. Effortless Meals help moms spend less time working in the kitchen and more time connecting with their kids, while still providing a delicious meal for the whole family.
By purchasing a Coca-Cola Effortless Meal combo you can also earn My Coke Reward bonus points. These points can be redeemed for things like product coupons and gift cards.
By the middle of last week I was ready for a break and the last thing I wanted to do was cook. Before Toodie got out of school I headed to Walmart to get a take-and-bake pepperoni pizza, liter of Coke Zero, and cheesy bread sticks which are a favorite here. Not including the bread sticks, the pizza meal was under $10 which I thought was very affordable for a family dinner. It’s also much cheaper than ordering pizza from a restaurant or eating out. The clean up isn’t that bad either! This dinner was truly “effortless.”
The pizza was delicious and dinner took less time to prepare than usual which made the hungry onlookers very happy. This may be the first time that Effortless Meals made an appearance in our kitchen but it won’t be the last. I have a feeling they will be coming in handy once school activities begin in a few months. Not only are they great for busy week nights but they are also helpful in preparing for lunches, sleepovers, play dates, and even a girl’s night in. Not to mention Football season is almost here and these are perfect for feeding the masses!
How do you keep meal time “effortless” during busy school nights?
We actually grab those pizzas and breadsticks whenever we are in Walmart. They are tasty and you can't beat the price.
A Coca-Cola Effortless Meal combo sounds fantastic! I've never purchased those pizzas from Walmart but we eat pizza at least 4 times a month so I would love to try them with my family!
A Coca-Cola Effortless Meal sounds pretty good to me! Perfect for those crazy days when cooking seems impossible!

there are many nights I need an effortless meal. I will have to try these walmart pizzas, cant beat the price.
Oh my goodness, this is right up my alley. We have four nights of sports practice and time is of the essence… it is so hard to pre-prep meals and this would really help me get a break… ha
I love the whole idea of Effortless Meals – especially the fact that they include Coke and pizza!
That pizza looks great. I love quick and easy weeknight dinners.
Same Way You Do We Eat Their Pizza Too It's Delicious Isn't It!
I have seen these but I didn't know how good they are. Based on your recommendation I am going to give it a try this week when I go grocery shopping.
Look at that happy face – who could deny that? Effortless sure was pleasing at your dinner table. The pizza looks tasty. It's my son's fave meal. I will have to give it a try. Do they have a gluten free option?
I love easy meals like that! I've had the pizza, but I haven't tried the breadsticks. I need to do that!
This would definitely save money on ordering out pizza… (we do that a lot). These looks pretty good too for store bought pizzas.
That's a great deal. We don't have a Walmart that's super close, but I'll have to keep this in mind.
We love those pizzas! They are so good.
Oh, yummy! There's something quite comforting sometimes about pizza and pop for dinner 😉
Perfect dinner for our cheer practice nights when school starts.
This is a good price for a pizza and makes dinner so easy.
WHen yo have 3 kids like me is much easier and cheaper as well.
