How To Make The Most Out Of Grocery Delivery

By Ines Flores


Lawrenceville, GA, is located right off Interstate 85 via Highway 316 about one hour's drive northeast of the state capital of Atlanta. With a population of more than 28,000 people as of the 2010 census, more than a quarter of whom are under the age of 18, that means there are a lot of people who, at some time or another, will benefit from being able to get grocery delivery. When someone in the family has a cold or flu, when there is a new baby, or when it's just not possible to get to the store, it is an absolute blessing to have this facility.

You don't even have to be sick or suffering some kind of hardship to use this wonderful service, available more and more to a larger number of people, thanks to the Internet. It saves time, can save you money, and it is even a greener option. When the store's delivery vans are visiting multiple homes in your neighborhood, it saves fuel and pollution for each household that doesn't have to get into the car and drive to the shopping center and back.

By saving your usual weekly purchases in a "favorites" list, you can avoid impulse buys, thereby saving a pile of money. This is also a good way of making sure you don't miss out something on the list that you usually need. In fact, the computer keeps track of your regular purchases and may even remind you if you fail to add something to your online basket.

One money-spinning trap for the stores that it is easy to fall into is to go for money off deals for buying multiple units of a specific item. You know, buy one for 2 dollars, buy 2 for 3 dollars. The app that you use to order your shopping will even use wording that encourages you to go for these purchases. The store uses carefully-worded messages to make you think that you are missing out if you do not take advantage of their offers, and congratulate you when you successfully "qualify" for the indicated savings.

On the other hand, if you have the space in your freezer or larder, then there is no harm in taking advantage of these opportunities to save money. As you wander through the virtual aisles and add items to your basket, your money off purchases start to add up. When the system totals everything up for you at the end, you will see just how much you have saved by taking advantage of these offers. Why not make the most of it and squirrel these savings away for a rainy day or for a special treat, like an item of clothing or jewelry for yourself or a family holiday.

The first thing you usually do when you log on for an online shopping session is to book a delivery slot. If you are lucky, you can specify within one hour when you want your shopping dropped off. Just make sure you note the time and don't go wandering off to the dentist.

If you link your online shopping account to your store's loyalty card, you can get extra offers tailored to the things you regularly buy. This can earn you extra savings.

Buying your groceries online saves you time and money and saves the environment. You will wonder how we ever managed without it.
