Walmart (Canada) has started offering subscriptions for “free” shipping for under $10 a month. The cost of gas to go there a few times a month would be more than the subscription fee.
Since I normally bike to get groceries, this isn’t really a factor, but the idea of getting groceries shipped over the winter seems like a nice idea.
Does anyone here use these grocery store shipping subscriptions? Is it worth strategically getting it for a few months out of the year?
Compare the prices online and in store. Some places jack up the prices of products for these services to hide the true cost.
Nearly all restaurants have done this and it is so irritating.
But the costs of food delivery is ridiculous in general. I was working from home all day Sunday and figured I’d order a pizza to be delivered. $10 for the pizza, so delivery should be about $15? Maybe a few dollars more? Nope, shit was $25. Because it was just one pizza (so “small cart cost”), plus the tax, plus the service charge, plus the delivery cost…and this is excluding the tip the driver will expect when they roll up.
Fuck that.
Probably a sign anyway, as I went and made some mixed veggies and a chicken wrap at home instead.
I usually make a shopping list through their website, then use it while I’m in the store. Prices seem on par, although, availability (in the store) is often hit and miss.
