Online Shopping at Major Supermarkets

Our top tips (and reasons) for ordering groceries from regular stores…

Join loyalty programs. Not using them? Big mistake; huge. Some even earn you gas points! Sign up online to avoid doing it at the cash register while a line forms.

Stay put. Many major grocers offer curbside pickup and affordable delivery—no third-party app required.

Save time and money. Skip the aimless store wandering. (Don’t you hate when they reorganize?) Use that search bar instead!

Avoid impulse buys. No splashy endcaps = fewer temptations. And it’s easier to rethink your cart before checkout.

Compare prices easily. Online shopping makes it simple to check price-per-ounce—no squinting at shelf labels.

Check your kitchen. Ordering from home means fewer duplicates and a chance to check expiration dates.

Consult recipes for the week. Meal planners, this is for you! Pull up your recipes while you build your order—no forgotten ingredients here.

Take advantage of digital coupons. Whether it’s a click-to-add situation or BOGO-type offers, don’t miss out on savings.



Grocery Shopping on Amazon

The site’s Grocery & Gourmet Food department has always been a great resource for shelf-stable staples and hard-to-find specialty items, but that’s not all…

Amazon Brands: Look for budget finds labeled Amazon Saver, Amazon Grocery, and Amazon Fresh. You can order shelf-stable Amazon Fresh products even if there’s no store nearby.

Amazon Fresh Stores: A fully stocked grocer, available for pickup or delivery! Scope out the weekly deals.

Whole Foods Market: Order from your local store for pickup or delivery. Don’t skip the budget-friendly 365 brand!

Other Stores: Did you know Amazon has partnerships with retailers like Bristol Farms and Mission Wine & Spirits? You do now. 



Even More Online Grocery Tips…

Try Misfits Market/Imperfect Foods. Get discounted produce (lightly blemished or undersized), overstocked or discontinued packaged goods, and items from planet-friendly brands. FYI, Misfits Market acquired Imperfect Foods a few years back.

Explore Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. Get local produce at a lower cost, often direct from the farms. Look up what’s in your area—you might be surprised!
