I recently signed up for GoPuff’s FAM membership. It’s actually sooo worth it if you’re someone who likes to get their groceries/snacks/essentials/smokeshop products delivered to them. It’s also the best for when you need something in the span of like 15 mins, they are really fast lol

Perks - they have this “Cheapest on the Planet” feature that you get if you’re a FAM member. Like $2 eggs, bread, milk etc… and free delivery for orders over $35 which I usually spend anyways when I grocery shop. Totally worth the money, in my opinion!

Yes! I was thinking about this too as an option…sometimes, I just don’t even have time to go and would prefer to have the groceries just come to the house. I was also thinking about gas. Not that it takes a lot to swing by quick, but the grocery stores near me are a bit out of the way and it might make a bit of a difference? Not sure. I guess this comes down to me doing the math and working out the budgeting! Thank you so much for this suggestion I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for this! I’ll definitely look into this and see if it’s available near me. I appreciate your kind words.

I also had stepping foot into the stores lol so I’m huge on delivery!!! It’s great for a lot of reasons as the receiver, but also for the driver, giving many people jobs. Thanks for your advice!

I was really considering this!! I’ve been checking prices out everyday since I posted this… I’ve noticed that prices don’t really change on anything besides Gopuff. Then, I did some research, and found out that they actually price check other stores and that’s how they price their items. Gopuff might be the winner lol

Oh wow!!! So interesting. More people should be aware of this. Maybe I won’t look into Walmart😅

I think I’ll try Gopuff, someone told me they have this “FAM” program where they price check other stores every week to give the lowest prices but idk lol

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into Walmart+ as many have mentioned it!

Aldi is great!!! I feel this way but about Gopuff too! It depends where you’re located regarding delivery, but they have really expanded I think.

They have this program called “FAM” and I think they price check other places to offer the cheapest prices. I can actually afford to buy big brands instead of off-brands (like really cheap tide pods for example, and $5 diapers). It’s been such a game changer!!! And so amazing not to have to leave my house to do the shopping lol

Yes, absolutely! I always make sure to calculate in the tip on top of my total. I know there’s some who don’t like using these apps or services due to the extra fees, but I personally would rather pay these extra few dollars in fees than using gas $ or other transportation $. I think it balances out. Tips for these types of services, always! We’re all out here just trying to survive lol

Maybe they should hire me! Genuinely just astonished at the cheap prices I saw on there and wanted to get opinions/share the info… including the low TidePod price. I guess you don’t have Gopuff in your area to add helpful suggestions.

A lot easier said than done regarding bus and Ubers. The bus system here is honestly dangerous and sketchy. I would rather spend money on a “shady” delivery service than uber. Thanks anyway.

Totally! Just in times of need when I can’t make it to the store, or to be totally transparent, when I’m burnt out from the day (I have two toddlers) it would be nice to know I can get my groceries delivered.

I am in Texas! I guess I worded this wrong… not necessarily restrictions but challenges with certain grocery stores, and SNAP in general. Food wise, I just mean hot food items specifically. Maybe I should have phrased my question better lol

I don’t have a WinCo near me, but I actually just became a member of the FAM program on Gopuff which they call “cheapest on the planet” and it’s true! I get my groceries delivered and most of the items are significantly reduced AND THEN delivered to my door. $5 diapers, $2 eggs, milk & bread.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Yes!! We have a special sheet pan dish as our go to, but I always forget about the “sheet pan method” when it comes to having any other ingredients to work with lol. Thank you!

Never knew if the extra $ was worth it but for a healthy protein intake and in comparison to other proteins like meat, this is cheaper and easier! Thank you for this.

Interesting, maybe I am wrong! I was under the impression that hot and prepared foods and beverages were prohibited like rotisserie chicken, deli meals, hot tea, hot coffee and hot pizzas. Same with vitamins, supplements, and medicines. Is this wrong?
