Grocery Delivery Services

Updated January 21, 2019

How much time do you spend each week on grocery shopping? If you're like most people you probably think whatever the time it's too much. Few people actually enjoy the act of buying groceries every single week. Thankfully we're finally in an age when you really can just about order anything online. It will save you time and stress.

Before you discard this idea as being too costly, consider these points. Having your groceries delivered can prevent unnecessary spur-of-the-moment purchases. Placing one large order per month with all your non-perishable goods can dramatically shorten the length of your weekly grocery shopping trips. The time you save may actually be worth more to you than the cost of the grocery delivery charge.

Brick and mortar Safeways have been around since 1915 but in 2000 they started their own grocery delivery service. While it's currently not offered in as many locations as there are Safeways it's worth it if you have access.
