Is Food Delivery Right For Your Family?

Easy Tricks to Keep More Money in Your Bank Account. best money saving tipsI did a cost analysis on Amazon food delivery service. My family not only saves on food but time and stress. We live next to one of the busiest Targets in the nation… not battling carts and people after work is saving grace. Amazon food delivery provides fresh, inexpensive options right to my front door. 

Things to consider: gas, your time, and purchase cost (which all add up). With AmazonFresh food delivery, you can skip the physical shopping hassle, avoid the lines, and save money by not being tempted by impulse buying.

Amazon Guarantees delivery within 2 hours. With Amazon’s recent acquisition of Whole Foods, I foresee even more healthy options and product availability. The monthly fee is now $14.99 for unlimited deliveries as a standalone and only $10.99/ month with Prime. If you aren’t already a Prime or AmazonFresh member it can add seriously valuable time back into your life.


By implementing these tips you will increase your financial stability considerably. Wouldn’t it be great to not worry if the car breaks down? Keep more money in your wallet and avoid all the ‘pickpockets’ out there tempting you with things you don’t need.

    You’ve got some fun and creative ones here! I especially like #62. Who says you need to go out for dinner?! Similarly, my husband and I often opt for drink or dessert dates, as opposed to dinner. We can go out to coffee and get a super schmamzy coffee each, feel all fancy and papered, and the whole date cost like $9! Good deal. 🙂

      Definitely. So much cheaper at home. We’ve been doing tons of wok entries. I felt so dumb spending money at Pei Wei. It’s so easy to just throw anything in a skillet. As long as you have a decent sauce and rice, it saves us $40 bucks a week. So much better on our organs to not stress them out with all that meat too. Thanks so much for stopping in and commenting.

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and are inspired to take D3. My parents swear by it. I can’t remember the last time any of us were sick. We get it at Costco, but Sprouts has discounts on vitamins quite often if you check. I hope that you feel better. Thanks for commenting.

      Absolutely so true. Impulse buys for me usually involve the foliage in the front,those cute little succulents. You can’t beat prime/fresh I was taken aback by the affordability. Thanks so much for stopping in and commenting.
