Top 11 Sites for Online Grocery Shopping
Did you know that many sites offer the ability to shop for groceries from the comfort of your own home? Online grocery shopping is convenient, a time-saver, AND sometimes even offers exclusive sales that you would not be able to score otherwise. SO if you work outside of the home or just don’t have time to tackle this necessary chore every week, be sure to check out these online grocery sites…
1.) AmazonFresh
AmazonFresh is a grocery delivery and pickup service available exclusively for Prime members in select cities for an additional $14.99 per month. The AmazonFresh grocery delivery service allows you to skip your trip to the grocery store and spend more time doing the things you love.
You’ll be able to shop a wide selection of fresh groceries and choose the most convenient delivery time for YOU. Choose to place an order in the morning for same-day delivery OR order your groceries in the evening and wake up to fresh strawberries, milk, eggs, and more – all on your doorstep.

Plus, for a limited time, new Walmart Grocery customers can save $10 off your first Walmart Grocery online order of $50 or more with promo code MOMHACKS or WOWFRESH at checkout.
And, Walmart is even testing a new concept in very select areas where they shop, deliver and even put away groceries in your FRIDGE for you. Go here for more details (be sure to read all of the comments).
3.) Safeway Grocery Delivery
Safeway Grocery Delivery offers the convenience of online shopping to select cities in Arizona, California, District Of Columbia, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia and Washington, but many Safeway affiliate stores are now offering grocery delivery as well, so be sure to check your store’s site. Keep in mind that online prices, promotions and offers may differ from those in their physical stores.
Regular home delivery rates in most areas are $9.95 on purchases of $150+ and $12.95 on purchases under $150 (excluding tax, delivery fee, fuel surcharge, bottle deposits and bag fees where applicable).

With Kroger ClickList, you can shop online for over 70,000 items across the entire store, including fresh meat and produce – plus new items are added every week!

Amazon Now has been pretty amazing for us! Everything arrives within a two hour time slot same day. There is no up charge for it just tip the driver if you want. In our area they shop for us at wholefoods, sprouts and of coarse Amazon. 😀👍
All has arrived fresh and in great condition. The one time one of the eggs broke I contacted them and they refunded me entire purchase price. I was just going to ask for the price of the eggs.
All around awesome!!!
Awesome! So glad to hear that!
I had the same experience with Amazon. However, I moved and they don’t serve my new area 🙁 very disappointed, struggling to find another service that will come as close.
I have used Aisles Online with Hyvee to have groceries delivered to my son at college and it has worked great! They have a great selection of products and offer a variety of delivery times.
Oh awesome – good to know!
You forgot Thrive. They’re great for offering tons of options for those of us with food allergies or prefer natural/organic options at a cheaper cost.
Thanks for letting us know!
Instacart was handy when my car was in the shop the 2 weeks before Easter. I used a 2 week free trial code that I got from a friend. Instacart shopped Aldi and Costco. I liked not going to Costco the Saturday before Easter. I think Instacart is overpriced; They do not honor in store pricing. My grocery bill was much higher than it would have been had I shopped on my own. I would use Instacart again just not all the time; for me it isn’t worth the extra fee, or the uocharge on groceries.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS LIST HIP2SAVE! HAVE ADDED TO MY “HIP LIST”. GREATLY APPRECIATED!
You are so welcome! 🙂
I really like Grub Market. They ship organic produce and food nationwide. I live in northern Wisconsin and especially in the winter it’s hard to find organic produce that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I love that I can order whatever produce we’d like and in a few days it will arrive via FedEx. Everything has been excellent quality. https://www.grubmarket.com:443/referral/59856
This is kind of funny. I just did my first Shipt job today. I felt like my heart would stop because they kept texting me to add on stuff lol
Nice! I did some promo stuff with Shipt in my town, and love to see the people using it 🙂
Had a WONDERFUL experience with Walmart order online grocery service yesterday! I used the code and received $10 off my order, the order was ready and waiting when I got there, they helped load it, AND one of the items was not available so I got the more expensive option free of charge! Also got a goody bag that included a full size Starbucks refresher, jar of pasta sauce, and free samples! The customer service was great as well! I will definitely be shopping this way from now on!
Oh I also think tomthumb delivers groceries if you have one in your area and I saw last week on there site 10 – 20 dollars off. With Insta cart it shows them being monitored on there cell phone to your computer from store to your home so you know if they get lost traffic etc. Whole foods had a 20.00 off coupon I used with them.
I just placed an order with Vitacost. I received a coupon code offer for 20% off a $50 purchase. So I combined it with sale items and harder to find items. Got a lot of pantry staples at a much better price than in store.
Schnucks Markets also have online shopping and home delivery, or in-store pick up . They’ve had this for almost twenty years! I know because I worked there and used to do the online shopping, LOL
I shop at vitacost often, – that is where I get all my organic jarred tomato stuff, from sauce to paste to diced etc! In addition, tons of other things, like organic seaweed, awesome tahini, dry beans, great prices especially using codes on top of sales and their periodic select sales. Can’t say enough great things about vitacost!
Shipt codes SAVE25 and DAD7C can be combined to save a total of 35.00 off and 2 weeks free!
I deliver groceries for Shipt and love the company. I appreciate how the prices are not too much higher than if you were to purchase items yourself within the store. And you can get them delivered within an hour of when you place your order. We get rewarded as shoppers when new members join and use Shipt, plus you (the new member) get $10 off your first order if you use my referral link. I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks so much!

I just started using fresh direct and I absolutely love them. The prices are very good in comparison to my area of northern Virginia where I live. In addition to being able to get my regular groceries I’m also able to get freshly made meals and meal kits. The produce is local and you can change your order up until 10 PM the night before. Additionally they’re doing a special now and you can get the first two months of delivery for a penny. I have included my referral link below if you would like to try them I would highly recommend and I appreciate your using my link.
