My Shipt Shopping Experience

Sponsored Advertising Content

By Joyce Evans May 18, 2016
Seems like ever since I've had children and my oldest is 7.... They are always with me while I’m grocery shopping. Not necessarily a choice but I fit it in while we are out and about. On the rare occasion I'm by myself and  it feels like a mini vacation (parents I’m sure you can relate) 
I understand, shopping is not fun for kids, well unless it’s for toys. My kids bicker, and totally distract me from what I really like to do, buy things that are on sale. All while I'm "trying" to read labels and get the best products I can (for the best price). By the time I leave the grocery store, even for a “quick” run in, I'm there for about an hour, super frustrated and promising I'll never do this again.  
When I was given the opportunity to review SHIPT with Macaroni Kid, I jumped on it. Before heading to drop off my son to school we walked the dog and I grocery shopped. He played and I quickly downloaded the app on my phone. I couldn't believe how simple it was to use, very user friendly, and I was able to see more items on sale, and BOGO's than walking around the store myself.   

A great feature was an option for "Dinner Tonight", so I just clicked on it and it had ideas with ingredients I needed to make a meal. Also a category for "Healthy Eating" with great options for healthy alternatives.  See the website for yourself! www.shipt.com

How it works:

1-You Order

Once you become a member and download the Shipt app (iOS, Android, and web), just select your groceries, choose delivery options, and checkout.

2-They Shop

SHIPT has partnered with a local community of reliable shoppers.

3- They Deliver! 
Offering same day grocery delivery, as soon as one hour after you order, and delivery is free for members on orders over $35.

I had the best delivery woman -- she texted me from the store, asked if I needed anything else, she saw that an organic item was less expensive and she texted me to get my authorization to get it.

She was to my home within the time it said she'd be there. My frozen items were still frozen and everything was packed so nicely. I couldn’t have done it better myself! It’s always an adventure going shopping, not only just in the store (with the kids) then taking the items from the car to the house and then unpacking everything. THIS WAS SO SIMPLE I COULDN’T BE IT. 

What I can recommend to you that will help with your shopping experience:

  • There is a Space for Special Instructions, if you're getting BOGO free items and want 2 different types make sure to specify that so you don't get the same items (unless you want them).

  • Also you can give a tip using your card on file or cash, any amount is greatly appreciated.

  • If you have any special instructions for your community like a gate please write that in the area, for safely they don't have your last name to look it up.
