Advantages of Online Grocery Shopping

As I write these words, today is a historic day. I am actually planning to enter a physical supermarket for the first time in almost a year! I have been receiving online grocery deliveries for a while now, so thought it a good time to pen a couple of articles examining whether they are a good alternative to regular shopping. Here are my advantages of online grocery shopping.

Save On Petrol

This will not apply to everyone, but is worth mentioning. Some of you may not incur costs to do your shopping, perhaps walking to the location or passing by it on the way home from work. But for many, there are costs to going shopping, and having food delivered solves this issue. Virtually all supermarkets offer free delivery if you order over a certain amount.

Advantages of Online Grocery Shopping – Save Time & Effort

Needless to say, it is much easier to sit at home and do your shop whilst not moving an inch. It is far less hassle, and it frees time for you to do something else productive. No parking, up, no queuing at a till, no having to reach round people. No packing up, just a few clicks on a computer.

Advantages of Online Grocery Shopping – See ALL The Offers

The good thing about shopping online is that you can click one tab and see all the reduced items the supermarket is offering. Or alternatively, you can filter the offers into different sections. This certainly beats walking round an entire supermarket to see what offers are available. What’s more, supermarkets tend to push certain offers towards customers at the front of house. 

Mobility Issues

Fact is, a lot of us have mobility issues some or all of the time. And for such people, having your shopping delivered direct to you is a godsend. 

Repeat Orders Are Easy

All supermarkets will keep a record of what you have previously bought, making repeat orders simple to do. And most of us surely buy similar products on a regular basis. Some supermarkets even offer extra discounts on some of your favourite products.

Money Off Vouchers

Many supermarkets offer money off vouchers for online customers. This is especially so if you have not shopped online with them for a while. This is on top of the normal discounts that come with loyalty cards and the like. Additionally, first time online buyers will always be offered a deal. Which again will tend to be money off your first shop.

Advantages of Online Grocery Shopping – The World Is My Oyster

I do not live near an Asda, or a Lidl, or a Waitrose, to name just a few. And i do not drive either, so have no opportunity to travel to such stores. But that is not a problem that exists on the internet. As you will know, everything is available online. You can shop at any store you desire. And using delivery services such as Deliveroo, who offered me £17 off my shop yesterday, you can receive your order within an hour,
