Other Ways to Shop Online and Save

You can get groceries, toiletries, and stock up on everything in between at these retailers.

Walmart: They offer free same-day pickup and delivery options too. They don’t offer coupons, but you’ll save in general on their low prices.
- No membership required to shop at Walmart.
- Walmart has stated they will not tolerate price gouging from 3rd party sellers on their marketplace. Prices will continue to be fair.
Target: Target offers same-day pick up, delivery and drive-up services.
Amazon: This is usually one of the best places to get your items delivered ASAP with Amazon Prime and grocery delivery options, but they’ve been experiencing an incredibly high volume, so be aware the wait time may be longer for usual deliveries. Also, we recommend shopping elsewhere with independent or direct from the brand prior to buying from Amazon. While Amazon is convenient, they do charge sellers on their marketplace and arm and a leg to be a vendor.
Overstock: Overstocks sells all sorts of goods including clothing, food, appliances, furniture, home goods and more. We typically check this website prior to buying.
QFC: QVC sells food, clothing, accessories, appliances and probably anything you can think of. Save $10 off your first purchase with code WELCOME.
Costco: Buying in bulk can save you a ton of money. Consider splitting and sharing items with friends and family. New Gold Star members will receive a $10 shop card and new Executive members will receive a $20 shop card. Unfortunately, the day of samples is gone.
TaskRabbit: Taskers will do all the things you don’t have time to. They’ll pick up groceries and meals for you, or even help move large objects. Use this link to save $10 off your first order.
