How To Save Money With Grocery Delivery

By Ines Flores


Lawrenceville, Georgia, is in the northern part of the state, about an hour's drive northeast of Atlanta, the state capital. Thanks to the Internet, Falcon fans all over will be reaping the benefits of grocery delivery. Whether they are too busy to go out shopping, or just topping up supplies for Monday night football on television, they are saving time and money while saving the planet.

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.

Ordering your groceries over the Internet saves you money when you save your shopping list as a favorite. The next time you shop, you can usually just click on most of the same items that you bought on your previous online shop. This is a perfect way to avoid impulse shopping.

You do have to be careful. Stores have crafty ways of getting you to buy more stuff than you intended. One trick is to group items together in multiple-buy offers. Buy one for two dollars, buy two for three dollars. The system will flag up a warning when you "fail to qualify" for one of these fabulous money-off purchases. Unless it is something you can really use and would buy regularly anyway, try to resist the temptation to click on that extra item to qualify for the reward, as if you have won something instead of just spending more money than you had originally planned.

Of course, if you can spend the extra money, have room to store the extra items, you can actually save money. Just make sure you keep track of how much you are saving rather than just absorbing it into your weekly shopping tally.

When you are booking your delivery slot, it is tempting to click on the first available time. If you do this, make sure you are going to be home and available for the delivery guy. It is very easy to click mindlessly on a particular one-hour slot, forgetting that you have a dentist appointment at the exact same time.

By linking your store's loyalty card to your online shopping account, you can enjoy even more savings. The store keeps track of your regular purchases and will send you offers based on your shopping habits. For example, if you have a new baby and purchase disposable diapers, they can send you offers for pull-ups when your child reaches the age when they can make use of them.

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