Safeway Delivery

If you have the opportunity to grocery shop online, I highly recommend you do so -- even IF they have a delivery fee. Your time is worth more than whatever the delivery fee may be. Personally, I have never paid a delivery fee because I always get coupons for "free delivery" e-mailed to me from Safeway. I'm sure wherever you live you can get coupons for free delivery. Check out your local online grocers.

It's soooo much easier to shop online for groceries than waste any precious time at the grocery store. You've got better things to do than grocery shop like watching paint dry and grass grow. Another added bonus is that you're not apt to purchase any impulse items because you'll have a list for your items needed for the week. Plus, you won't have any children begging you for that box of Sugar Snaps or other impulse items that zap cash from your wallet.

This is where planning becomes critical. Again, don't try to plan gourmet meals. SIMPLE IS GOOD. Take a look at your calendar for the upcoming week for appointments, sports practices, and nights where you know you just won't feel like doing any cooking for whatever reason. Plan your SIMPLE meals and order online.

After a couple of weeks you'll find a rhythm. Once you're on the online grocery gig, you'll wonder why you ever wasted your weekends doing it.
