For some people, the worst part of their week is when they have to head out to the grocery store and get their shopping done. It's understandable: grocery shopping is time consuming, it can be hard to find good deals, and it requires a bit of energy to even get out to the store to get everything you need. So what if there was a way you could streamline the whole grocery shopping process, and make it as painless as possible? Luckily, there are many helpful web resources that all exist with the same purpose: to make your life easier. Well, when it comes to grocery shopping anyway.
1) Shop at an online supermarket. If you really can't stand the thought of wading through the sea of people at your neighborhood supermarket, why not try to buy groceries online. The internet has really opened up options for consumers who are tired of the same old shenanigans they deal with in traditional retail stores. With the rise of internet technology, there are hundreds of different types of online stores that allow you to buy food online, and even things like paper products, specialty beverages, produce, diapers and baby food, and so much more. Need a kosher market? No, problem! They're online and fully stocked with everything you need. If you really wanted to, you would never have to leave the house again! Plus, you may find that the prices of an online supermarket are comparable to traditional supermarkets.
2) The grocerygame.com. If you don't mind going to the grocery store, but hate bargain hunting, this site is for you. Basically, The Grocery Game takes all of the guesswork out of coupon clipping. So many people clip coupons and save them, but they forget to use them or don't know when the best time is to use them. How the Grocery Game makes it easier is that when the user pays a month, you get a professional bargain hunter to tell you when the best time is to use those coupons. When you sign up for the Grocery Game you get Teri's List: a weekly publication of the lowest-priced items at the supermarkets in your neighborhood. The list is handy because it gathers up advertised and unadvertised sales.
3) Meal assembly kitchens. If still want to eat at home, but don't really want to spend the time trucking over to the grocery store you should look into meal assembly kitchens. Typical meal assembly kitchens have anywhere from 12 to 16 stations with all sorts of ingredients that one can pack, take home, and use to create a delicious recipe. Customers can even order meals pre-assembled, and many ingredient stations have detailed instructions on how to make recipes a success. The customers then take the ingredients home in freezer bags to store for later use, to prepare right away. Meal assembly kitchens are truly a unique concept that is available in many areas. If you'd like to find a meal assembly kitchen in your neighborhood, there are many directories online like Mealassembly.net to help you.
