Nowadays you can buy just about anything online, so why not groceries as well. Sure there are dairy products and perishable items that you can’t have mailed to you necessarily but with delivery and pick-up options there are numerous ways to make shopping online for produce, cleaning products and more easy and convenient for anyone and everyone. You can even save money by shopping online if you look for the discounts and do a little bit of comparing from one site to another. Shopping for groceries online can be just like buying a magazine subscription if you just use some of these simple tips to simplify the process.

Review the ads online - Look at your grocery ads online. Many of the major retailers such as Albertsons, Vons and Ralphs let you pull items from the ad pages directly into your shopping cart so you don’t even have to look for them later. Simply pull and enter the quantity and you’re set. Many even allow you to still use coupons especially those in the ads or store only discounts. If you have a club card you’ll be prompted to enter the number or your phone number to receive your discount at the checkout.

Call with questions - If you have a question or need help locating something you can call the customer service number and have them clear things up for you. Sure you may not be able to pick the bunch of grapes you like based on looking at them and feeling them but you can add special notes to your order on what you’re looking for and an approximate weight or number when it comes to produce.

Sign up to become a member  - Sign up email newsletters and offers from the sites you start shopping on. They will send you coupons and discounts from time to time which make the random emails well worth the time in reading and deleting.

Look for free shipping and delivery deals  - Lots of sites offer free shipping and free delivery to first time customers or first time orders. Look for these incentives and use them as the savings and convenience adds up quickly. One way to take advantage of these is to sign up for multiple accounts under the names of different people in your household or if you have more than one email account under that so you can use the free shipping on first time orders more than once.
