An Apartment State Of Mind
July 6, 2016
You know when you’re sitting at home after a long day at work and that grocery list on the fridge looks absolutely daunting? Who wants to go to the grocery store when snuggling up on the couch to watch your favorite TV show with your four-legged fur ball is an option?! Well… grocery delivery to the rescue! All you need to do is grab that computer or phone, go online and pick out everything you need; it’s seriously that simple! The following four delivery services will make your life a little less stressful and your evenings a little more pleasant.
Thrive Market offers healthy, natural and wholesome products at wholesale prices! On your first order, they give you a 15% discount and a free jar of organic virgin coconut oil; how great is that?! One aspect I thought was pretty awesome about Thrive was that they offer a “price range” filter – super useful for those of us who don’t like splurging too much on food!
Amazon Fresh has a regular groceries section as well as a “local market” section. If you select “local market”, you will find fresh meats, breads, veggies and fruits from local stores – similar to what you would find at farmers’ markets – yum!
Instacart allows you to pick the store you’d like to shop from, whether it be Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or a familiar local choice, and then their representatives will go pick out your items and deliver them to your doorstep. They pride themselves on speedy delivery (under 1 hour for all of your groceries!), or you can choose a delivery time that works best with your busy schedule; so convenient! Also, they offer free delivery on your first order!
Safeway/Vons offers online grocery shopping for your convenience. Their delivery services aren’t as spectacular as other options, but as long as you get your order in before 8:30 AM you’ll receive same-day delivery. Oftentimes, they run promotions for free delivery – I have yet to pay a single dime toward delivery! If you’re a die-hard Safeway/Vons shopper, then this is definitely the way to go!
