Grocery delivery has been popular for years in cities like New York and San Francisco where many people don’t have cars. But the trend, especially curbside grocery pickup, has been growing in suburban areas, too. Avoiding the aisles and checkout lines is more convenient and can save busy families loads of time.
But the savvy shoppers at Groupon Coupons like grocery delivery for another reason: it can save money.

Being on the grocery store’s website also encourages shoppers to seek out sale items and use store coupons.
