Do you find yourself tossing snacks into your shopping cart right and left, even when you’ve carefully planned your grocery list and meal plan? Avoid the temptation by skipping the trip altogether and getting your groceries delivered to your door. All you have to do is select your items online, provide your payment information, choose a delivery window, and wait for your ingredients to arrive.
It’s true that most of these services are not free. Whether you choose Amazon Fresh, Instacart, Peapod, or any other grocery delivery option, you’ll probably pay between $7 and $12 per order. If you sign up for an annual membership, you might end up paying a little less per delivery.
But the true benefit here is the money you’ll save by skipping the distracting add-ons at the store. You’ll also save money on gas or other transportation, as well as the time you would have spent pacing the aisles.
