How To Save Money And Save The Planet With 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.

More and more people, in Lawrenceville, GA, and all over the country are discovering the benefits of ordering groceries online. How does it save the planet? When delivery vans, often purchased by the stores for their environmentally-friendly engines, make deliveries at several homes in the same general area, it means that that same number of vehicles, many of which may well be gas-guzzlers, don't have to use the fuel or spew out fumes.

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.

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.

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.

Ordering your groceries online can save you time and money. It also is gentler to the environment. Once you get the hang of using it, you will wonder how you ever managed when you had to fire up the car and actually drive to the shopping center.
