I’ve always liked the thought of groceries delivered to my door, haven’t you?  So I was excited when I was recently offered the opportunity to try out Genuardi’s Home Delivery program.  Unfortunately, I am outside of their delivery area, but I passed the offer along to my sister-in-law and asked if she’d be willing to share how she felt about the experience with my readers.

Here are a few pros and cons that she shared:

PROS:

Allows for a variety of shopping methods- express list, aisle, categories

Items can be sorted – what’s on sale, price

Home delivery

CONS:

Often difficult to navigate

Can not shop directly from weekly circular

Some produce is much more expensive

Delivery = two hour window- restrictive

NO COUPONS!!!!

Edited to add: You can imagine how I felt when I heard that there was no way to use coupons.  While there are certain special online promotions, we all know that coupons are the key to scoring items at the cheapest possible prices.

Summary- this may be helpful for people who do not have a car, have limited mobility, or even new moms!  Large , heavy items can be purchased and delivered right to one’s doorstep, but the high cost of fresh produce and the inability to use COUPONS makes this option impractical for regular use.

If you’ve wanted to give home delivery a try, I have good news.  Right now Cha-Ching on a Shoestring readers can use code: chaching to get $7 off and free delivery on your order of $50 or more. Simply head over here and click on ‘Shop Now’ and then enter your zip code to find out if you can receive a home delivery from a Safeway store near you.  (Coupon code expires September 30, 2010.)

And here’s more good news:

A $50 Safeway gift card (Includes Safeway, Dominick’s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, Genuardi´s, Pavilions, and Carrs)  Note:  Gift cards cannot be used for the Home Delivery service as of this time.
