Grocery shopping in my pajamas

 - by Brittany

and not the white trash way of just going to the store in my pajamas.

We were talking at playgroup last week, and somehow online grocery shopping was brought up. I know stores do this, but I always figured it was expensive. One of the girls said she uses Amazonfresh.com and they are pretty comparable. So I came home and told Kevin about it. He was totally on board. We checked out a few different grocery websites and compared those prices with Amazon. Turns out, a lot of items they had cheaper.  So I made a dinner menu for the week, figured out what I would need, then went grocery shopping Friday night on the couch.

The site was so easy to use, and you could compare pricing and quantity. (I know you can do this in the store, but some times the unit price is not on the tag, or it’s hard to find.) Everything was right in front of me. Also, I wasn’t wandering the isles, so I stuck to my list really well. If your order is over $75, it’s free delivery, which mine was. So I picked my delivery time (which was between 10 am and 1 pm), and went to bed for the night. Also, you don’t have to be there for the delivery.

Saturday morning,  we woke up, had breakfast, and by 10:30, this was at my door.

I had all my grocery needs and I hadn’t even gotten dressed yet. AWESOME! After unpacking, I found I do need to pay closer attention to the size of what I am buying; ie. 8oz vs. 16oz. But overall, I was very happy. They even included a bouquet of flowers for my first time. Kevin tried to claim them, but he was a little late. The bins have zip ties on them so you can tell if they have been opened previously or not. The cold food is packaged in insulated bags with ice packs. They pick up your bins on their next delivery.

As my first time,  I missed lots of items. Since you don’t wander the isle, I didn’t think about laundry detergent and stuff like that. So Saturday I still ended up going to the store. But, it was for non food items. So if your interested, I was given coupons that expire January 31st for

Try it out and tell me what you think. If they don’t deliver to your area, try another grocery site.
