Do you shop groceries online?

I use Woolworths Click and Collect here, except for fresh produce and some meats. I find it convenient and time-saving and it helps enormously since I'm not dragging my tired self through the supermarket on a Friday night after work when I'm more likely to grab stuff that is harder to fit into my calorie allowance. It also saves me money.0

HEB charges for the service and Kroger is within walking distance. I have no reason to do basic grocery shopping online

Yes, its a great way to budget for the weekly shop.
I have used Tesco/Asda and currently Sainsburys. I am sticking with the latter as they faithfully give me products that have a long use by date.
Once you do the first online shop, the chore out of listing all your food items is minimised. And there's no impulse buying, win win.
I also buy clothes/footwear online, I love being able to try things on in my own home.1 -
I do, once a month for all my meat, poultry, almond milk and any canned or frozen things. Then every week I buy all my vegetables fresh from my local grocers. I don't drive, therefore buying the heavy stuff online saves me lots of hassle.0

I wish stores around me offered this!1

when I lived in the UK I used Sainsbury's. It was pretty good and stopped me from making impulse chocolate buys. Although the 'substitution' thing tended to be a bit random. My favourite being the time I ordered two cans of mandarin segments, but the store didn't have any in at that time, so substituted with two cans of cat food. We didn't have a cat, so I'm not too sure what was going on there. The neighbour's cat was happy to take them off my hands.1

Walmart's free grocery pickup is fantastic. I was concerned about the produce and meat too but it's not an issue. They seem to pick out better quality items than what's in the store. They also keep produce, eggs, and meat seperate for you to inspect before they load it into your car. You don't have to buy it if you don't like it. I imagine they will go in and replace it if you want but I've never had anything bad yet. You can choose to have items substituted or not. They always upgrade with a substitution never down or lower quality and you are only charged for your originally priced item. That's nice too. I've gotten several brand name items for the generic price because they were out of the generic I ordered. I am in and out of the parking lot in 5 minutes with $100+ of groceries a week. Love it!1

I am disappointed that we never get any of the wacky substitutions from Sainsbury. Surrey pickers must be very unimaginative.
We do sometimes get subs we don't want, in which case, I just give them back to the delivery man who scans them and refunds them.1 -
I buy nonperishable foods online that I like and can't find locally or are cheaper online. I buy from Amazon and Fiber Gourmet regularly. I have occasionally bought from Walmart.com. My husband orders hot sauce online regularly.0

I tried most of the options available here over the summer when I just couldn't handle one more shopping trip with both of my children. Any one of them is a helpful dream while shopping, but put the two of them together and we are That Family. The one with one kid yelling and the other running through the store.
I use instacart when someone is sick and we need groceries but can't get to the store. They charge the same as in-store, but the delivery fee and expected tip make it too expensive for regular use. They are too often out of things that I know are always in stock at the store, and the quality of the produce really depends on who your shopper is.
I use goodeggs sometimes. Their delivery is free and they don't accept tips, and the prices are about the same as the farmers' market, but they only carry Whole Foods-esque products. That is, if you want an organic, free-range heritage chicken and don't know a farmer, they're your go-to. Like Whole Foods there are some things that are a reasonable price if you know how to find them, and the quality is really good.
I tried Amazon fresh but they rarely had what I wanted and I didn't like being tied in to a monthly charge.0 -
@JessicaMcB I love it too haha0

I think the only place with grocery pick up around here is Walmart and I go out of my way to avoid their limp produce. If Winco or Costco delivered I would take advantage of that. Especially Costco. My husband brings home the oddest things when left unsupervised in Costco.0

In my area (Detroit metro), Shipt uses Meijer.
http://share.shipt.com/h6CVj <-- That link will give you $10 off your first order and a 2 week trial. They are in Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Texas, and many of the southeastern states.0 -
I do and I love it. My local market offers it, they always give you good quality produce too. Well if it's not good it's double your money back.
Anyways I have found I save lots of money doing this because no impulse buying of food. Keeps weekly menu planing on track.0
