Shopping from home for your grocery store items is a great way to deal with this necessary chore: It's convenient, it's a time saver, and sometimes you can even take advantage of online sales not otherwise accessible. This service isn't just for packaged goods, either. Many stores offer shoppers the opportunity to order fresh produce, meats, dairy, and other groceries online and get these items delivered directly to their homes. In addition, many products that aren't necessarily found easily in stores can be found online — sometimes for a much cheaper price. You might even be able to take advantage of online rewards or cash-back offers, too. 01 of 08 Amazon Grocery Lets You Subscribe for Easy Orders Getty Images Amazon is the largest online retailer today. The company's grocery offerings span from beverages to meats to seasonal gifts and baskets. In the past few years, Amazon has greatly expanded its online grocery items, offering subscriptions to frequently purchased items (resulting in significant discounts for these subscription items) as a deep catalog of specialty items most bricks-and-mortar stores just can't carry. If you subscribe to regular delivery (every one, two, three, or four months), you can save a significant amount of money. Use a Dash button for re-ordering — it's free and streamlines the purchase of frequently used items. Amazon Prime customers enjoy free shipping on all grocery orders that qualify for this offer, as well as any discounts additional that might apply.
