Saving Money with Online Grocery Shopping

grocery

We all spend hundreds of dollars at the grocery store. With prices going up we need to find ways to bring down the bill. Some of the items I buy regularly have gone up $0.50 to $2.00. This adds up. When I went to the store this week the margarine that I normally buy was $6.99. I did not like that. We have allergies at my house and that limits our choices on buying items. This made me think I need to find more ways to save money.

 

I know a lot of people have already started online grocery shopping with curbside pickup or delivery.  If you are like me and have not started ordering your groceries online, there are many money saving promotions that make now a good time to start. 

 

Why you should grocery shop online 

  • It’s very convenient as you can do it any time of day. Once you have done it a few times, it will save you time as you can look back at previous orders and have quick access to the items you buy frequently. 
  • All the prices are clearly marked 
  • You can look at ingredients on products in a larger print
  • You can look for items by department or use the search bar
  • You can make the order and have someone else pick it up for you
  • If the store is out of an item they can substitute it for another brand if you choose. By doing this you might even find that you like the substitute better
  • You can see all the sales in one place
  • You won’t pick up as many extra items. I know when I walk through the store I buy things that are not on my list.
  • Cost totals are calculated as you add items into the cart which makes it easier to stay on budget
