Constant traveling, requires you to prioritize and delegate parts of your daily life so that you can focus on what is most important. One of things I can immediately do without is grocery shopping on the days when I am busy and have a lot of achieve.
So recently when preparing for my upcoming travels and trying to get everything done before I leave, I decided to go back to my trusted service - Peapod and get my groceries delivered. Below is what I instantly gained:
1. Time. Shopping online alleviates the need to walk up and down store aisles, and saves you a trip to the store, which not only saves time, but gas money as well. I can spend that time packing instead.
2. No unnecessary spending. Grocery stores are designed to maximize impulse buys. There's a reason they stick bananas in the cereal aisle, salsa sauce in the chip aisle, and tabloids near the checkout line – because you'll buy them. I can spend that money eating local meals while traveling.
3. Helped me stay within my budget. Often I can place a new order based on products I've previously ordered. My invoices are saved online for quick retrieval, letting me quickly see how much I've spent from week to week. I mostly use the same ingredient each week, hence the ingredients list can be built easily. In addition, product search results can be sorted by sale items, allowing me to choose sale items without having to peruse a newspaper. Win- Win. And not all the money I saved, can now go towards my trip.
The premise is simple: You can select and order your groceries and pay for them online, and they'll be delivered to your house.
