It’s very handy for helping me to remember all the things I need to buy. Whenever I plan my meals for the week using Real Plans (literally the world’s best meal planning app), I save the foods I need to my Shipt cart. Whenever I run out of something in my fridge or pantry, I open the app and save the item to my Shipt cart. Your cart stays active for up to several weeks, so I use it like a shopping list. Once you open the app and select your store, you can browse by section or just search up the individual products you need and add them to your shopping cart. The advantage of them being a coast-to-coast company is that it’s very likely they service your area. You can also request anything at these stores - flowers, toilet paper, bedding, even supermarket sushi. When you log into your Shipt app, you select the store you wish to shop at from the list of available stores. I’m aware that in other markets, they shop at stores Georgetown doesn’t have like Publix and Aldi and Fred Meyer and Meijer. Here in Georgetown, TX they can shop at Target, CVS, PetSmart, and H-E-B. When Shipt was bought by Target, it allowed them to immediately expand into shopping different stores and areas of the US. Shipt is in 250+ metro areas, serving more than 5,000 US cities. They are in Austin proper (where I’ve used them to deliver to my friend’s homes), but not up in my hometown of Georgetown yet.

To be fair, Instacart does have full service shoppers, but they don’t service my area. This is in contrast to Amazon Prime Now (which delivers groceries from Whole Foods & Sprouts), where people are “picking” my food order from a warehouse, a computer generates often stupid substitution suggestions, and if I text back “no, I’d prefer this other thing instead,” the computer registers “no” and completely removes the item from the order. He or she texts me if the store is out of something, suggests real, usable substitutions, and allows me to contribute my own substitution ideas as well. Shipt is hands down my favorite.īecause it’s a real person going to the store, shopping my order for me, and driving it to my house. In my desperation to have groceries delivered, I tried just about every service that’s local to my area - Instacart, Amazon Prime Now, even something called Burpy (I kid you not). Now I have everything delivered - even veggies from my local farmers.
It felt like an instant good decision, and it made me wonder what else could be delivered.
I put in all the bulk orders for things we definitely always need and never want to run out of (like toilet paper!). My first foray into deliveries came about when I started using Amazon Subscribe & Save instead of Costco about 6 years ago. I’ve been using Shipt to deliver my groceries for going on 3 years now, and it’s been a huge relief! But after having kids, lugging them up and down grocery aisles as toddlers became a nightmare. Because I enjoy food, I used to enjoy shopping for it. Shopping at the grocery store is annoying.
