I was an amazon fresh subscriber but switched to Safeway delivery. Prices are lower, better quality, way more choice. Amazon simply didn't have what I wanted. Also, if I order in a 4 hour block, delivery is free, (1 hour is 15 bux). so I picked 5-9pm, after work, free delivery, and I don't have to go out.
And for groceries in general, walmart delivery on items like cangoods can be a big difference. Soups can be a dollar more on amazon. Jet.com (now owned by walmart) is free shipping of you fill out a box, i find spices cheaper on jet, but can goods can be hit or miss.
Amazon is handy, but its far from cheapest on many things.
- CaliforniaKarl 7y agoSame here, although delivery in a 4-hour block costs around $2 or so for me (I think the cost goes to zero if I order like $150 or more of stuff). But it is worth it. I (intentionally) don't have a car, and I like buying certain staples (like toilet paper and detergent) in bulk, so having Safeway do the delivery is great. They use their recyclable plastic bags, which I can either reuse, or return to the driver (though that doesn't refund the ~¢2 bag feee); those bags are put into plastic bins (the kind you see when doing a corporate move), which are then put on a cart (my building has an elevator). So yeah, for scheduled stuff, Safeway delivery is vastly preferable to Amazon (or even Instacart).
- masonic 7y agoBut Safeway delivery means paying full price for sale items.
