I had a bad week. I wasn’t feeling well and I felt so useless because I couldn’t get the things I wanted done, accomplished. I was tired with a fever and I just didn’t seem to have the energy to run errands. A friend of mine suggested I try Peapod.com.
It is an online grocery store and they deliver to your house the next day. I was very skeptical and I thought it would be weird to shop for food online.
I can honestly say, that the website is so user friendly, that I immediately found every item on my grocery shopping list. You can search by name of product, brand, or price. I loved sorting by price and not having to look up and down aisles for the best deals. Then I thought I would miss those “in store sales”, but online they have a sale section as well! The last surprise about this website is that they even found a way to take coupons, so that you don’t feel like you are missing out, if you are one who uses them. You just hand the coupons to your driver and your account is credited for your next purchase.
The overall experience was great! I spent 20 minutes online and I was able to pick a delivery time that worked for me the next day. I didn’t have to spend time driving to the store, fighting over parking spots, waiting online and even carrying those bags. With the price of gas being so high… it was worth the minimal delivery fee. I was able to get my job of food shopping done, without the help of others since I didn’t feel well. I felt so independent and good about myself.
My driver was friendly and customer service was friendly too! I had to call with a question about my order and they were so helpful and nice. They even sent with my groceries a “new customer welcome pack” that had coupons towards my next 5 shopping trips.
I truly think this is a great service for anyone who deals with any chronic illness. I am upset I did not hear of it sooner. I also think it can help many other people who are not sick. For example, if I wanted to help my grandmother by ordering for her online- and having it delivered to her house. This service would also be great for a mother who is so busy with kids’ schedules etc, that having food delivered on a weekly basis, would help lighten her hectic schedule.
The best part is everyone who signs up and shops gets $10 off their first purchase. When I saw this deal- I figured it was worth a try! There is a very small delivery charge- but by the time you spend gas and your time, especially with the $10 discount- I figured it was definitely worth it to try something new. I would highly recommended this website. I have used it once and I am hooked. I will never go out to the grocery store again!
