Many people just go into the supermarket and binge-buy everything they think they might need. This is why most people spend a lot of money on groceries. And then, let’s not even mention all the bags you’ll have to carry home, especially if you don’t have a car.
Many people rely now on grocery store delivery services, and they seem to be very happy about their services. We’re here to tell you why you should also rely on them, especially if you want to save money.

You’re Not Going To The Store After Work
After work, you are probably tired and hungry, and you might tend to buy everything that seems delicious. Even cheese crackers. And let’s not forget alcohol, wine is the finest choice to drink while cooking. And this is how you spend some extra dollars that might be used for something else.
By having the groceries delivered, you will only get the essential, because you’re not attracted to everything you see on the shelves.
When There’s A Sale
Many apps show you which products are on sale. And if they are on sale, why not getting them now, even if your packages at home are not finished? Usually, snacks are on this category, so make sure you get some.
No Target For You
You won’t need to go buy things from Target, like toilet paper or paper towels. People from the delivery services will also take care of those. And you surely won’t come home with a new mascara and some new shirts. Money saved? Checked.
Tip $5 For Every Order
Perhaps in a restaurant, you tend to tip more than 20%, but it’s not the case here. Some companies pay their drivers with $5, plus 7.5% of the total of each order, which means that if you order more, they will get more. Also, keep in mind that they are allowed to do more than one shop at a time, so the price seems fair.
No Whole Foods For You
Whole Foods and Target are the places where you spend a lot of money. If you choose to have your groceries delivered home, you’ll stay away from these stores. Your service might go to a place that’s more healthy, and that has reasonable prices. See where your local grocery delivery goes shopping.
Make A List In The App
Always make a list of the items you need. This way, you won’t go ahead and buy everything you see with your eyes that you like.
Also, see if the app allows you to keep a “running” list. If yes, as soon as you run out of something, you need to add it to the cart when you can, until you don’t forget about it. The app might save your carts between sessions, which means that they will already be in the cart when you place the order the next time.
This also means that you won’t have to deal with last-minute trips to the store and you also won’t buy many things that you don’t actually need, just because it happened for you to be there.
