Ree Takes Todd Shopping for College at Walmart

“When your mom takes you shopping for college at the same store as her product line.” 😂

Ree Drummond

After sending not one, not two, but four kids off to college, Ree is pretty much a pro at this point. Now, the fifth and last of the Drummond kids is headed to school. And while Ree might have a lot of practice when it comes to those dreaded sendoffs, being an empty nester is a whole new world for her to navigate. Considering how emotional we get when remembering how little the kids were when The Pioneer Woman first started, we can only imagine how Ree and Ladd are feeling. We know there have been a lot of tears... and walks around the ranch. 🥺

But before saying goodbye to Todd as she dropped him off at The University of South Dakota (where he’s playing football!) came getting him ready for the next chapter of his life. Any mom will tell you: Sending a child off to college means setting them up for success with a well-equipped dorm room. So, of course, that’s exactly what Ree did—and she took us along with her! That’s right. Just when you thought The Pioneer Woman’s content couldn’t get any better, she shared this gem of a video giving us an inside look at her and Todd’s dorm room shopping trip.

The best part? The shopping trip took place at none other than the home of The Pioneer Woman collection: Walmart! Which means Ree and Todd just had to make a stop by her own aisle. She even told him, “Todd, I’ve decided you can get anything you want in this section right here.” That sounds like a great deal to us! But our favorite part of the video has to be Todd exclaiming, “That’s my mommy!” as he browsed her products. Aw! 😭 Now that’s sure to be a memory Ree holds dear during this big life change.

After a little looking around, the two got busy with what they came to accomplish—grabbing some of Ree’s own products along the way (obviously!). “I’ve actually been wanting one of these,” Ree said while putting a floral throw into the cart. “Yeah, I’ll take that” was Todd’s response. We think they might need to grab another. It’s a bestseller for a reason... and it does match his red bedding perfectly!

Storage bins, hangers, bedding, towels, and plenty of toiletries are only some of the other things Ree made sure to load Todd up with. “Please note that Neosporin is the answer to most questions in life. Please note also that athletes need lots of deodorant,” she said in her caption. We told you she’s a pro!

If you haven’t already, you need to watch the whole video. Then maybe watch it again—because that’s what we did! We guarantee you’ll get some good laughs out of it. Are we the only ones who could watch an hour-long Pioneer Woman special of this?

And if you’ve got kids going off to school soon (or want to redo your own home—which we think is a great idea, by the way) we’ve rounded up several essential items from Ree’s line that they’ll definitely want to take with them.
