Tonight I walked into a grocery store for the first time in a couple weeks. In the last several months I have only been in a grocery store a handful of times.
Why?
I’m ordering my groceries online with Peapod.
Save Time
Last year I shared 7 things I do to make my life a little easier, and ordering groceries online was on the top of that list. Ordering groceries from the comfort of home is truly a game-changer. I save so much time each week by simply adding our needed items to the online cart. In fact, I usually begin by simply filling my cart with all the items I purchased the previous week. I do that with a simple click of a button, and then I adjust my cart as needed.
Save Money
Not only do I save time by ordering my groceries online, I also save money. I am not tempted by every tasty item or once-in-a-lifetime sale. I stick to my list and buy what we need. I have stayed below my grocery budget for the last several months by staying out of the store. I even included ordering groceries from Peapod in my favorites post last month for this very reason.
A Few More Tips & Tidbits
~You can always pick up your groceries instead of having them delivered. You don’t tip at pick up, but do consider tipping your driver!
~Peapod does accept manufacter coupons. Just hand them to your driver!
~While handing him or her your coupons, also pass them your old Peapod grocery bags. They recycle them for you!
If you are looking to make your life a little easier and if you are looking to save time and money, then I suggest ordering your groceries online. A number of major grocery stores offer this service, so check to see what your local store offers!
If you live near a Stop & Shop, then check out Peapod! First time customers can receive $20 off their order.
What about you? Have you ever ordered your groceries online? Share your experiences below! I would love to hear from you!
Until next time,

Wish I had tried peapod back when I lived in Baltimore. With two kids, I don’t know how I lived without grocery pick up. Definitely saving time and money!
It’s a lifesaver! đ
That is so cool! I have to try this!

It’s a great option, Belle!
I have ordered online to pick up at my local grocery store a few times and I loved it! I don’t do it all the time, but it was a lifesaver right after I had a baby a few months ago!
Yes, I think there are seasons of life when it is particularly helpful!!!
I’ve never ordered groceries online but I think it would really be so efficient to do so!
I LOVE it so much, Lyndsey!
Right now, I save grocery shopping time by having my husband do the shopping every week, haha. I bet he’d like this option a lot more though! We’ll have to check it out!
Good man! Yes, he might really like the online option!!
Omg yes!! I love that I haven’t stepped in a grocery store in a while either. I’ve literally been ordering groceries and picking up at the store since they started offering that! It’s all about the little things in life to make it easier! =)
Love those little things!!! đ
I seriously need to try online grocery shopping! I waste far too much valuable time walking the aisles of the grocery store!!!
The more you do it, the better you get at it, Samantha! And yes, I save a lot of time!!!
How cool! I wished they did this around where we live! I would love it!
It is a great service, Jennifer!
At this time it sounds like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. IćŁl certainly return.
With the whole thing that seems to be developing within this specific subject material, your viewpoints are relatively exciting. Even so, I appologize, because I can not give credence to your whole plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It would seem to me that your comments are actually not completely validated and in reality you are generally your self not even entirely confident of your argument. In any event I did enjoy reading it.
Thanks for this excellent article. Also a thing is that most digital cameras arrive equipped with a zoom lens that permits more or less of any scene to get included through ‘zooming’ in and out. These types of changes in focusing length are usually reflected inside viewfinder and on huge display screen on the back of the specific camera.
