There is this wonderful thing called Peapod. It makes me a happy person. It's through Stop & Shop (a big grocery chain in the northeast). Peapod is an online grocery delivery service. Can I just express how much I L-O-V-E it?!? I used it right after I had Abby 3 years ago, and silly me never used it since then. Jason has encouraged me to use them ever since, but I never did.
But, that all changed today. I needed groceries and hadn't had the time to get to the grocery store. Plus the idea of lugging me with this belly, Abby, and my groceries home on a hot day just wasn't appealing to me. So yesterday I put in my order online (www.peapod.com), picked my delivery time for this morning, and while relaxing at home with my daughter today, had all my groceries brought to my house and put on my kitchen countertops by a very nice delivery man. Like a little piece of heaven right there!
Some excellent things about them:
1. The frozen food is really frozen.
2. The produce is better than what you would choose yourself.
3. They take coupons and offer weekly specials just like the store.
4. For an order over $100, the delivery fee is $6.95. But they give you $5 off for each of your next four orders. I would spend more than $1.95 in gas just getting to the store and back.
5. They give lots of other specials...$1 off for certain delivery times, $1 off for using echeck, etc.
6. I typed into google for 'peapod promotional code' and found a code for $15 off my first order. Saved more money that way. (They thought I was a first time customer again...guess they don't keep records from 3 years ago and from a different address).
7. I think you probably save money doing it online because you don't impulse shop as much as you would while in the store.
So there's my big plug for Peapod. If you have this, you gotta try it. This pregnant lady is relishing in her happy place right now....
