How To Save Money And Save The Planet 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.

By keeping the things you regularly use on a favorites list, you can also save time shopping while saving money just by not exposing yourself to impulse shopping pressures. This probably saves you harmful calories, too. Without the tempting smells of cinnamon buns baked on the premises, you are less inclined to cave in and order every cake on the list of items in the bakery department.

Of course, stores don't want you saving money by shopping online; they only survive when you spend. This is why they invent ways of cajoling you into spending more money. If you can buy a particular item for two dollars, they will offer you a second item for only a dollar more. If you stubbornly click on a quantity of one, the system will point out that you have failed to qualify for a saving opportunity. You don't want to be a failure, so you cave in and buy the extra item.

Of course, if you have the space and know that you will use the extra items, it makes sense to make use of these money off deals. Once you have reached the checking out stage of your shopping session, you will see just how much money you have saved by taking advantage of special offers. Put this away for a rainy day or to save up for that new sofa you have had your eye on. Don't let the savings just disappear into the nebulous cloud that is your family's finances.

Most stores allow you to book a delivery slot. Normally you can specify within one hour when you want your ordered dropped off. Don't just surf for the next slot available; make sure you are going to be at home and that the time doesn't clash with anything else.

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.
