Urban Body Fix’s Guide To Online Grocery Shopping

5 tips and tricks to help you shop smarter

The “new normal” consists of a lot of time in our house and on our electronics. Whether you are still working remotely or have even transitioned to in-person work, shopping from your computer has become the most convenient way to get the items you want, right to your door. We want to help you choose healthy and affordable options when it comes to your groceries.

1. Look For Coupons
Download the “Honey” browser extension and thank us later. Honey scans the internet for coupons and loads them for you as you are checking out. No need to look for any coupons, Honey does that for you. Saving money is that easy.

2. Become a Member

Most memberships hit the back burner when we get busy with our daily lives. But, we always have to go grocery shopping. Companies such as Thrive Market require a membership fee and provided instant discounts every time you shop. Thrive also donates a membership to a family in need with every membership sold, so that’s an added bonus.

3. Click that Instagram Ad

Do you always see those sponsored posts creeping in on your newsfeed? Instead of scrolling past, stay for a while and see what it has to say. Instagram uses algorithms based on your search history. Chances are, the ad might be for something of interest. Local grocers and markets are now offering delivery service. They will advertise in these pop-up ad spots, so don’t scroll past.

4. Search for Your Favorite Brands

Just because you may never have shopped on a certain site before, doesn’t mean they won’t have your favorite brand. Type in the brand name and you will find the options for you. You can’t miss out on your cult favorite food items!

5. If You Are Stuck, Ask for Help

We have all been there. We can’t figure something out on the website and we are starting to get confused. Don’t be afraid to call customer service. They are there to answer your questions. If an item is out of stock or you aren’t seeing your favorite brand, just dial in and see if your questions can be answered.
