5 Reasons You Should Use a Grocery Delivery Service

1.It saves time:

Shopping online alleviates the need to walk up and down store aisles, explains Bill Bishop, co-founder of Brick Meets Click, an information and research firm in Barrington, IL. And you can log in any time—even at 2 am—and still have the advantage of a fully stocked store. Plus, going the delivery route saves you a trip to the store, which not only saves time, but gas money as well. In fact, studies show grocery delivery services slash carbon dioxide emissions in half compared to individual household trips.

2.It reduces unnecessary spending:

Grocery stores are designed to maximize impulse buys. Whether your weakness is “on-sale Oreos” or a weekly tabloid in the checkout line, last minute impulse buys can increase your grocery bill by up to 60 percent, according to Steve and Annette Economides, co-authors of Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half. Another dodged bullet: falling prey to junk food because you’re shopping on an empty stomach.

3.Easy access to online specials:

While you can’t comparison shop or take advantage of ad matching or in-store specials, online retailers extend a myriad of benefits that in-store shoppers can’t get.

A bonus: Instead of driving all over town to snag the best deals, you can save your hard-earned cash with a single click.

4.Coupon convenience:

Some online retailers make it easy for you to click manufacturer’s coupons as you shop. Select the coupons that correspond with the items in your virtual cart and you could save more online than you would at the store—particularly if you’re not an avid coupon-clipper.

5.No More Queuing or Parking Hassles:

Shopping online means no queuing at the checkout to pay, no parking hassles as you search for a space in the shopping mall car park and no negotiating the in-store crowds if you have to shop at peak times.

Bottom line:Online shopping really saves your money, time and energy.
