2. Overview
• Convenience is at our doorstep. We have to a point of life so easy for us that
we can do almost every task within the comfort of staying at home. Grocery
shopping is one those monotonous tasks that each of us hates doing, but is
such a painful exercise. With the help of technology, we are able to do this
today. With the help of a mobile application, you can get all your groceries
on the go. Here is lists of do’s and do not’s when you are buying groceries on
the internet:
3. Do’s
• Always plan your grocery list – online shopping is a lot like going to your huge
departmental store with every possible offer and product along the way. It is
tougher when you are buying online because you have several lists of pop-ups,
offers, discounts and so on, all of them promoting an impulsively buy. Creating a
defined list before you go to buy will help you avoid implosive buys.
• Search for the best deals – We all want to buy at the best prices. This is possible only
when you research about the offers that are present. So, before you go and make a
great list of groceries, look up the website for the offers and then decide on your
grocery list. That would help you plan your spends much better. Look out for
joining offers and then try to avail them so that your costs are lowered.
4. Cont…
• Buy bigger volumes only if you need it – We get tempted to buy products in
bulk when you choose online grocery. There may be big discounts when
you buy in bulk, but it does not mean that you are getting a great deal
especially if you do not need it. You may be saving that 20%, but it does not
necessarily mean you are if you are not going to use it.
• Be there during delivery – However good you have ordered your products
and managed your order, there is a good chance that you would get a
mismatch in your order. Make sure you are available during the delivery and
thus be able to check everything that comes in.
5. Don’t's
• Do not buy vegetables by the bulk – it is only obvious that you know
expiration dates running on fruits and vegetables. It makes no sense buying a
week long supply of fruits if you are going to keep it for longer. Most online
grocery shopping portals give you different volumes to buy which makes it
easier for you.
• Do not forget to see the minimum order – most online shopping sites have a
minimum buy with which they give free delivery. If you miss out on that, you
tend to spend a lot on getting the products delivered at home too – so make
sure you avoid that.
6. Conclusion
• Undoubtedly, getting your grocery shopping done online is a smart and good
way to have your work done today. Most of us are stuck with long timelines
at work and thus, getting such a mundane task done with the ease of an app
becomes very easy.
