An exact list of what you need before you shop will help you save money online as well. There are just as many temptations to buy extra items online as there are in-store.
Use cashback sites
Cashback sites partner with online retailers and offer you a percentage back for your purchase. Typically, the amount is anywhere from 2-7%, which might not seem like much, but it really does add up over time.
Check your email
Grocery delivery companies occasionally email out special offers to their users. You might receive promo codes for discounts, and special discounts you can unlock by ordering certain products and offers for free items. So before placing your online grocery order, check your inbox.
Read carefully
When it comes to shopping online, whether for groceries or other products, it pays to read. Remember you are not seeing the products in person so the photos might not be as accurate.
Order in advance of running out
