The easiest and most cost saving way to get groceries, Amazon fresh

Where have I been all these years? Still spending so much of my time to go to the grocery store walk the aisles fill the heavy cart, checking out, paying $.10 for a grocery bag (here in California), then to lug it all into my car and unload it once I get home. This wasn’t like just a little bit of time that I’ve spent in my life doing this, with a family of six this eats up a lot of my time. Even if it’s one day a week for a few hours, why was I wasting my time? Then going to more than one store because something was on sale or I liked the produce better from Sprouts as opposed to Trader Joe’s. Enter Amazon fresh.

I was reluctant for so long because I just had in my mind that it was going to cost more money, it was going to be inconvenient by needing me to be home for the order, or the produce not coming in very good. All of this was completely debunked the first time I received That glorious order.

I simply laid in the comfort of my cozy bed. Wall looked through Amazon site to find, but I was going to need for the week. I had one child requesting tons of fresh fruit, another one everything to make the perfect avocado toast, needed milk for the morning and more proteins for evening meals. I was shocked at the pricing. It was better than when I went and spent my time and gas getting to the grocery store and doing the heavy lifting myself.

Not only were the items that I was buying less expensive on Amazon fresh but I didn’t get sidetracked by the random by five and save sales or buying so many things that I actually did didn’t eat. 

I set the delivery time for between 8 AM and 10 AM the next morning and when I arrived home from school drop off there was a car that pulled up right behind me. A friendly driver was there letting me know that he had my groceries and I just let him know to give me a second because I had my own shopping cart. 

Yes, my own shopping cart. It might sound kind of like a funny thing to have but no joke we use it so often. It’s a smaller size grocery cart so it’s not like I have one of those big Costco ones but not only does it help me unload the car from my groceries, it helps to bring firewood in in the winter and helps me lug around items that I just don’t have enough hands for. Here is another kind of shopping cart you can order on Amazon. It is even better than the one I have. I shopping car is a really nice thing to have around the house. I think it's better than a wagon.

I simply rolled in my grocery cart as if I had spent all that time, energy and gas picking those items out myself.

Now it’ll even be simpler if that’s possible to order my next round of groceries next week as I have already now established a history of the things I like in my cart  simply reorder and just decide when I would like my driver to show up.

This has been a game changer and I am so here for this wonderful time when technology has made this all possible. I still do grow a lot of our produce such as tomatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, and of course we get all those glorious eggs, but we still need the weekly if not biweekly grocery run, which will no longer eat up time in my day. I might’ve been there and I do know this.
