Save Time and Money with mySupermarket
If you’re pressed for time, mySupermarket makes it easier than ever to buy groceries for your family online.
This site lets you create an order using items from sites like Amazon, Soap.com, Walmart.com, Costco.com, and Target.com. It calculates the unit price of each item for you, offering money saving suggestions when appropriate. Then, when you’re ready to check out, it saves your info and places your order from the correct retailer on your behalf.
When you’re buying groceries online, you have to accept that your selection is going to be limited. However, I did find more to buy from mySupermarket than what I had expected. There were several lower priced store brand items, as well as a nice selection of organic, vegan, and/or gluten free items.
The prices of several items I buy on a regular basis seemed comparable to what I pay at the grocery store. I didn’t need any cleaning supplies or personal care items, but I thought the prices on the few I checked seemed reasonable and they had all but one of the items I searched for.
The mySupermarket interface was easy to use. When you add an item to your cart, it automatically searches for different options that will save you money. This might include ordering a different size, changing retailers, ordering a different flavor, or ordering a different brand.
You can ignore the suggestions if you wish, but checking out the other options is an easy way to increase your savings. As you can see from my screenshot, I ignored a suggestion to save $6.92 on granola by buying a much larger amount of a kind that had nuts. I didn’t need that much granola and my husband prefers his granola with no nuts. I passed on the olive oil savings suggestion because it involved buying significantly more and olive oil isn’t something I go through that quickly.
It was fun to watch my savings total increase as I continued to add items to my cart. In fact, I did quite a bit of tweaking to see how high I could get my total to go. My order was $76.59 and my savings was $59.55. After I placed my order, I told my husband it was all of the fun of couponing without the hassle of clipping and matching the specials myself!
Overall, I considered my first experience with mySupermarket to be quite positive. I ordered enough of our favorite foods that it will probably be a few months before we run out, but I would definitely consider using this service again when it’s time to restock the pantry.
