More With Less Today

Here is an easy way to save money and time on groceries at this new site for FREE home delivery of non-perishable items, toiletries, beauty products, cleaning products, and dry goods for the pantry. Alice. com coupons are available on their website and you just click and apply to your order.

I wrote about Alice.com a few days ago and if you are a new reader, you may want to reference my previous article here to learn more about this new home delivery grocery service. Alice.com has great prices, FREE delivery and NO MINIMUMS. If you register as a new user through this site, here is a special coupon code that you can use to  get $10.00 off your first order of $50.00, just click on their link : Alice.com.

I began to organize my shopping list on Alice.com by looking at my receipt from my last shopping trip to Vons, here in Southern California. Vons is a subsidiary of Safeway and has about 300 stores. Their prices are decent and they also offer a home delivery option but the delivery fee  is $6.95 for a minimum of $150.00.

Here is my apples to apples comparison chart on a few items:

Bic Soleil women’s razors (4) Vons- $4.99  Alice.com $5.57

All Ultra-Concentrated Free & Clear Detergent                              Vons – $5.99 Alice.com $5.31

Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner 14.2 oz.            Vons -$4.99 Alice.com $5.13

Colgate Toothpaste    Vons -$2.49  Alice.com $2.69

Taster’s Choice Coffee 7 oz.  Vons – $7.99  Alice.com $7.52

Total: Vons – $26.45                Alice.com $26.22

Now factor in the time to drive to and from the store, coupon and comparison shopping inside the store, impulse purchases at the store (a big one), whiny kids, tired mom and you get my point. It’s a no-brainer.

I figured that if I shop at Alice.com, I will have at least 2 hours more in my week along with saving money. When you first begin to build your list on the site, it takes a little time.  The beauty of it is that Alice.com remembers what you order and helps you build you list for the next time, so each time you use the service it becomes easier and quicker.    If you use the advanced planning feature, you never need to run out of toiletries again!

I will be writing about Alice.com again, when I place that first order. More With Less Today is your database of money-saving sites and tips.
