Save Your Gas By Shopping For Groceries Online
Let Someone Else Load Your Shopping Cart For You
I often do my grocery shopping late at night for next day delivery. I love how this frees my time for other things, not to mention the gas it saves. Safeway is one of our local grocery stores that offers this service. They are part of Vons Grocery stores. When you go to the Vons site (below), you simply enter your ZIP Code to determine which services are available in your area.Some People Have Concerns About Grocery Shopping Online
Some Questions About Online Shopping That Might Cross Your Mind
After doing my shopping this way for so many years I see no downside, but I'm often asked the following questions:Do you actually let someone else choose your produce?
I have never had a problem with poor produce. If they don't choose the best and freshest, they'll lose customers. If you should have a problem, just call the number and a refund is given, no questions asked.
What about freshness dates on dairy, etc?
Same answer as above, but I've always received the freshest dates. I think they pull from the warehouse, which has the newest arrivals.
How easy is it to use coupons and get the member discount?
Coupons are entered upon checkout and member discounts are given automatically without having to do anything.
Doesn't it cost more online?
The same specials are available online as in the store, plus a few extra "online only" offers. When a special is "Buy One, Get One Free," you order two of the item and the cost of the second is credited.
Have you ever had a problem at all?
One time the liquid laundry soap leaked. About 1/3 of the product was missing. The deliverer helped me clean it off and refunded the full price of the laundry soap, allowing me to keep the 2/3 that was left.
Occasionally an item won't be available and they inform you at delivery if that's the case.
What about the cost of delivery?
The cost of delivery is well worth it, however if you order over a certain dollar amount, delivery is half price or sometimes even free.
Shopping Access to Specialty Shops
You can shop for flowers at their Floral Shop, sliced gourmet cheese from the Deli, and gifts from a number of specialty shops as well.

I don't hate it as such, it's just that I have a bus almost on my doorstep which takes me into the fresh food market. I've used safeway when I had a broken ankle though - very handy
