Okay, so my hubby has been out of town a lot lately, and the kids have been sick off and on… grocery shopping has been a bit of  a chore (for the first time ever!  I usually love shopping!) So I decided to try grocery delivery from Safeway.com.  I did a little happy dance this morning when the truck pulled up!  (Phew, no vid of the dance ha ha)

I just went online yesterday to http://www.Safeway.com/blogoffer and took about 20 minutes browsing and putting items in my cart.  Then I picked delivery for today, between 10-12.  They came at 10:30 as planned, delivered my groceries from a truck (has refridgeration!) and I just had to put the groceries away.  No lugging 4 kids to Safeway!  Thus the happy dance!

A few things I learned:

1.  They don’t take manufacturer’s coupons yet.

2. You still get the sale prices on items!  But sometimes it doesn’t come off until the end, so your total may seem a little higher than it would be.  An example is, Betty Croker Fruit rollups this week are $1.99 ea, but when you buy 4 you get an extra $4 off, making them .99 ea.  The $4 comes off at the register, so you won’t see that discount until the delivery person arrives with your items….but trust me it works!    I’m all about my savings 

3.  You can pick different delivery times/days based on your schedule.  Some times are cheaper than others.  The delivery rates range 6.95 to 12.95.  BUT in my opinion, it’s worth it.  They actually go around the store picking out the items you want, weighing produce for you, basically go through the checkout line, and deliver it to your door.  Just pick the $6.95 time slots and that is well worth it!

Safeway wonderfully gave me 2 gift cards so I could try out the service and let everyone know how it went! I give it 5 stars.  Safeway also gave me a promotion code to offer everyone who reads my blog and tries home delivery for the first time!  Use this code: azguru to get  FREE delivery for your first order AND $7 off a purchase of $50 or more.

Try it and let me know how you liked Grocery Delivery!  I’m sure you’ll be just as pleased as I am!

BONUS: I will pick my favorite review of Safeway delivery (so email me!!) and post it on my blog at the end of September.  I will send a $25 gift card (for Safeway of course!) to the person whose review I pick.

Happy Shopping!
