As much as we all love coupon deals and savings at the grocery store, sometimes we just don't get time to make it to the store during the big sale. Be it work, kids, sickness or just being plain old busy, sometimes we just don't get there.  Happens even to those of us who get paid to find deals!
 
For me, that's where I've begun to explore Amazon Grocery.  Often the deals aren't quite as good as what I'd get with a coupon and a great sale.  But considering the time and stress saved, the savings are good enough.  Great even, if it means the difference between grocery shopping at 11 pm when you're dog tired, or simply paying a little bit more and having it delivered right to your door.  I know for many of you it is a shocking idea to hear me say that--but really, my time is as valuable as any savings I'd gather.  Especially when you consider the stress it would cause.
 
I've found myself ordering more from Amazon Grocery.  Two weeks ago I stocked up on Horizon Organic Strawberry milk singles for my daughter's lunchbox.  Last week I stocked up on the Kid's Crest with sparkles, the only type my son will use. The ease of use has been fantastic!  They've even had coupons and savings for me to use.
 
Some tips for shopping Amazon Grocery:
 
  • Pay attention to package sizing.  Some will be four boxes at 8 oz each, while others will be 6 boxes at 7 oz each, at the same price.  
  • Watch for subscribe and save deals to save an extra 15% off your order. Subscribe lets you set a time period at which they will automatically ship you a new order of the selected item. You can take the discount now and cancel the subscription at any time. 
  • Watch for coupons--they have coupons on Amazon! They'll often be offered to you as you place your order.
  • Watch for special money-off deals.  They come through often!  Many can be combined with Subscribe & Save savings for a higher total savings!
  • Check out the Grocery Deal of the Day section
  • Double up on the savings--stop by one of the stores that offer bonus fuel rewards for gift card purchases and pick up an Amazon gift card. You'll get bonus fuel savings, plus the Amazon savings when you order!

For the next few months we're going to be keeping our eye on Amazon Grocery and posting the deals we find.  Are they as good as a Mega Sale or Super Double Coupons?  Not usually.  But for those who are really busy and can't afford to wait for one of those big sales, they're a great deal.
