Everyone needs groceries and coupon clipping can save money but is time consuming.  Going to the grocery store is something that I rarely find time to do, so I write a list and send my husband, or I use Peapod.

Peapod offers great flexibility.  I can buy groceries while watching my daughters play.  I also think it is an easy way to shop with coupons, which allow the biggest bang for your buck.  However, something a person should be aware of about Peapod’s service is that there is a minimum of $60 to order and they charge for delivery. Although the two above factors may deter a person immediately, don’t give up so fast. Depending on the time of day you want your groceries delivered, discounts are available.  The last time I used peapod I saved a total of $55.  I bought items that were on sale, chose a flexible delivery time, found an online $20 off coupon, and used manufacturer coupons.

Peapod’s groceries come from a warehouse so I noticed that the produce were fresh and the other products don’t look picked over.  I gave the delivery guy a nice tip as a result of my sizable savings. The entire process was simple.  So for busy Moms or Dads on the go, Peapod is the way to go.

Tip: Your manufacturer coupons have to be in an envelope and given to the driver.
