The 4 Best Cheap Online Grocery Shopping Stores Amazon – Amazon has a huge selection of nonperishable grocery items, but its two main strengths are its extensive variety of organic and otherwise hard-to-find foods, and the ability to get a discount on many items through the Subscribe & Save program. Subscribe & Save gives you a 15% discount on many items, plus free shipping, with no commitment. Shipping is often free on other items as well if it’s an item that Amazon has in its own warehouses. Netgrocer – Netgrocer is one of the longest established online stores and has very good prices as well as a good selection of specialty items, such as kosher and organic, and also carries many health and beauty items. This store does offer perishable items such as hot dogs and dairy, but your perishable order must be of a certain dollar amount and you can only have perishables shipped to the Northeast US. But if you do happen to be in New England, you can get very good shipping rates – it’s only $9.99 for up to $199 of merchandise. It’s a pretty poor deal if you live on the West Coast, though, since shipping usually runs about 30-50% of the cost of your total order. Netgrocer will deliver to APO and FPO addresses at variable rates depending on the weight of what you’ve purchased. ShopFoodEx – ShopFoodEx offers a pretty good variety of items and their prices are reasonable. My biggest issue is the site design, which drives me crazy – the way the site is laid out forces you to do a lot of scrolling to see the different options. However, good prices and shipping costs make up somewhat for this excessive scrolling. MyBrands – MyBrands is great if you are a devotee of a particular item, such as a certain type of cereal or coffee. This is important because many of their items have minimum order quantities. So it’s not ideal for trying out new stuff that you can’t get in your area, because if you end up not liking the first one, you’ve got eleven more left! They also specialize in items that you won’t find in the average grocery store.
