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! 🙂
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!!! 🙂
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!
